对工作环境中光线影响的研究表明，特定的照明环境对人类行为和社会行为有不同的影响。这些发现表明，学校也应该应用有益的照明。本研究的目的是考察可变照明对小学生坐立不安及其攻击性和亲社会行为的影响。采用的可变照明系统配备了七个照明程序，具有不同的照度和色温。在一项对照的准实验场研究中，收集了横断面和纵向观测相结合的数据。参与者包括来自汉堡的110名不同年龄段和不同学校类型的学生和11名教师。烦躁是通过学生数字录音中像素分数的变化来衡量的。为了量化攻击性和亲社会行为，进行了结构化的行为观察。整个学年的自我感知变化都是通过问卷调查获得的。结果显示，在干预组中，焦躁不安和观察到的攻击性行为明显减少，亲社会行为有增加的趋势。从长远来看，学生们并不认为自己更冷静或不那么咄咄逼人。总体而言，研究结果表明，可变光照可以直接减少小学生的躁动，改善他们的社交行为。因此，可变照明可以在优化学校学习的一般条件方面发挥作用。
Studies on the effects of light in work environments show that specific lighting situations have different effects on human performance and social behavior. These findings suggest that beneficial lighting should also be applied in schools. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of variable lighting on pupils' fidgetiness and their aggressive and prosocial behaviors. The variable lighting system employed was equipped with seven lighting programs featuring different varieties of illuminance and color temperature. In a controlled, quasi-experimental field study, a combination of cross-sectional and longitudinal observations was collected. The participants includedn= 110 pupils of various age levels and school types andn= 11 teachers from Hamburg. Fidgetiness was measured by the changes in pixel scores in a digital recording of the students. To quantify aggressiveness and prosocial behaviors, structured behavioral observations were conducted. Self-perceived changes throughout the school year were captured using questionnaires. The findings showed a significantly stronger decline in fidgetiness and observed aggressive behaviors and a tendency toward increased prosocial behaviors within the intervention group. In the long term, the pupils did not rate themselves as being calmer or less aggressive. Overall, the findings indicated that variable light could directly reduce pupils' restlessness and improve their social behaviors. Variable lighting can thus play a part in optimizing general conditions for school learning.
