The Effects Of Room Color On Stress Perception: Red Versus Green Environments, Teresa M. Kutchma

Additionally, Goldstein’s theory of color perception showed that red has stimulating effects on human behavior. Subjects consisted of 15 female and 15 male college freshmen at Minnesota State University, Mankato. An experimental booth was used for red, green and white room conditions. Subjects …
