Effects of environmental colour on mood: a wearable life colour capture device

Abstract:
Colour is everywhere in our daily lives and impacts things like our mood, yet we rarely take notice of it. One method of capturing and analysing the predominant colours that we encounter is through visual lifelogging devices such as the SenseCam. However an issue related to these devices is the privacy concerns of capturing image level detail. Therefore in this work we demonstrate a hardware prototype wearable camera that captures only one pixel - of the dominant colour prevelant in front of the user, thus circumnavigating the privacy concerns raised in relation to lifelogging. To simulate whether the capture of dominant colour would be sufficient we report on a simulation carried out on 1.2 million SenseCam images captured by a group of 20 individuals. We compare the dominant colours that different groups of people are exposed to and show that useful inferences can be made from this data. We believe our prototype may be valuable in future experiments to capture colour correlated a...

Light-At-Night and Mood: Examining The Role Of Sex In C57Bl/6 Mice
(2015)
Cleary-Gaffney, Michael
Abstract:
Rates of major depression have increased substantially in recent years, although it is not currently clear what are the factors behind such increases. Environmental factors may be important, and it has recently been postulated that dim nocturnal light may contribute to depression symptoms in humans and in rodents. Sex is also a very important factor in affective disorders, with prevalence rates of major depression twice as high in females than in males. We set out to test the hypothesis that dim-light would interfere with the circadian rhythm of C57Bl/6 mice and induce both depressive-like and anxiety-like behaviours and that there would be sex-specific differences. Animals were either singly or group housed for a three week period where locomotor activity was measured. After this period they were tested on a range of tests of emotional behaviours. Animals were subsequently placed into either 12 h light: 12h dim nocturnal light (~5 lux) cycle or a 12:12 light/dark condition and rete...

The psychological effects of commuting in Dublin

The psychological effects of commuting in Dublin
(2004)
Buckley, Finian; O'Regan, Brendan
Abstract:
The study involves an investigation of the problems that commuters in Dublin face everyday, and attempts to shed further light on our understanding of how individual differences (e.g., gender & perceived control) moderate the effects of commuting in terms of the individual's stress and mood outcomes. Four modes of transport were investigated; those who commuted to work by car, bus, train, and walking. The survey sample was 187 worker-commuters employed in a number of banks located in Dublin's IFSC. The study indicates that nearly 80% of respondents reported their daily commute as a stressful experience, those who travelled by train-Dart experienced highest levels of stress and most negative moods on reaching their workplace. They were followed by car and bus commuters with walkers reporting least stress and most positive moods. The level of experienced impedance impacted on levels of stress with commuters who had experienced a high impedance commute recording higher st...
