Effect of Color Stimuli for Psychological and Physiological Responses to Odoriferous Substances.

本研究的目的是讨论在吸入气味物质的情况下，颜色刺激对心理和生理反应的影响。为了提出这项研究，我们首先通过感官测试来研究颜色想象与顺序之间的关系。这些气味包括橙油、龙葵油、日木油、台湾日木油、茉莉花油、薄荷油、丁香酚、绿调（顺-3-己烯醇）等12种。感官测试结果表明，在吸入橙油的情况下，想象橙色的倾向显著，在柠檬油的情况下，想象柠檬色的倾向显著。在接下来的地方，我们研究了橙色和柠檬色刺激对吸入橙色和柠檬油的心理和生理反应的影响。这些实验是在人造气候室内进行的，室内由橙色和柠檬油色的窗帘包围。我们测量了显示情绪变化的以下参数：1)血压，2)心率，3)R-R间隔心电图变异系数，4)感觉评估和5)情绪状态谱（POMS）。实验结果表明，在添加橙黄和柠檬色的条件下，吸入橙黄和柠檬油会引起生理和心理参数的变化。

The purpose of this research is to discuss the effect of color stimuli for psychological an physiolpgical responses in the case of inhalation of odoriferous substances. To put forward this research, in the first place we investigated relationships between color imagintions and orders by means of sensory tests. Those odors were 12 typessuch as orange oil, lomon oil, Hinoki oil, Taiwan Hinoki oil, jasmin oil, peppermint oil, eugenol, green-note (cis-3-Hexenol), etc. As a result of the sensory test, it had remakable tendency to imagine orange color under the condition of inhalation of orange oil and lemon color unde the condition of lemon oil.In the next place we investigated the effect of orange and lemon color stimuli for psychological and physiological response in the case of inhalation of orange and lemon oils. Those experiments were done in the artificial climate chamber enclosed by curtains of orange and lemon oil colors. We measured the following parameters indicating changes in mood : 1) blood pressure, 2) heart rate, 3) coefficient of variation of R-R intervals ECG,4) sensory evaluation and 5) profile of mood states (POMS).From the result of those experiments, we concluded physiological and psychological parameter changed concomitantly with the inhalation of orange and lemon oils under the condition of addition of orange and lemon colors.
