| Research Abstract |
Results : After viewing the color images, mean MMS scores indicating positive moods, such as well-being increased significantly (p<0.05), and scores indicating negative moods, such as depression, decreased significantly(p<0.05). The mean value of salivary CgA also decreased significantly after viewing the images (p<0.05). And also after being exposed to preferred simple colored lights, mean MMS scores indicating positive moods, such as well-being increased significantly (p=0.025), and mean value of salivary CgA decreased. So preferred color images and colored light could possibly be used to induce a para-sympathetically dominant state or a calm positive state.
