Abstract
Dette kandidatprojekt undersøger muligheden for at løse stressrelaterede problemer bed brug af en subtil baggrundsstimuli som en måde at influere en persons level af psykologisk arousal. For at undersøge denne mulighed 15 mandlige forsøgsdeltagere, alle studerende ved Aalborg Universitet, blev bedt om at spille et spil Tetris og samtidigt eksponeret for tre forskellige lyskonditioner. Deres psykologiske arousal blev målt via galvanisk hudrespons seniorer. Det blev fundet at det ikke var muligt at vise at lys som en subtil baggrundsstimuli havde en effekt på forsøgspersonernes level af psykologisk arousal, heller ikke på deres performance.
This master thesis investergates the possibility of a solution to stress related issues, utilising a subtile background stimuli as a way of influencing a persons level of physiological arousal. To investergate this possibility 15 male participants, all students at Aalborg University, was asked to play a game of Tetris while exposed to three different lighting conditions. Their physiological arousal, was examined via Galvanic Skin Response sensores. It was found that it was not possible to show that lighting as subtile background stimuli had an effect on the participants level of physiological arousal, nor on the performance of the participants.
