Research Aims and Objectives

The reviewed literature has provided evidence that implies indirect experience with nature or natural analogues, such as the use of colours can positively impact wellbeing. They have not articulated however, the effects of blue hues against green hues. To test this hypothesis, this study will be directed into an experiment that measures the effect of biophilic colour exposures on cognitive performance and wellbeing.

The aim of the experiment is to identify potential differences between blue and green biophilic colour exposures and a controlled setting, on cognitive performance and wellbeing.

The experiment objective is to therefore design three different settings with the same amount of colour exposure (blue, green, controlled), and direct participants to undertake a set of tasks in each setting and fill out subjective experience and wellbeing questionnaires.
