Daylight is an important component in maintaining human health and wellbeing and plays a key role in physiological, psychological, and behavioural regulation. Understanding the complexity of daylight perception is vital since the degree of satisfaction with daylight conditions could greatly impact individual mood, behaviour and cognitive performance. This paper aims at (1) presenting an overview of current knowledge on methods for assessing daylight perception and (2) establishing a methodology for assessing daylight perception in the context of cultural background. An experiment was conducted with 50 students who were instructed to select the best and worst seats, describe the best desks' daylight conditions and draw boundary lines between perceived daylit and non-daylit spaces in a library. The study showed that subjective rating and seat preference methods were consistent with actual daylight levels. However, participants' boundary lines did not represent the actual daylight availability in the space. The study suggests that individual daylight perception in the context of cultural background can be assessed using the subjective rating and seat preference methods.
日光是维持人类健康和福祉的重要组成部分，在生理、心理和行为调节中起着关键作用。了解日光感知的复杂性至关重要，因为对日光条件的满意程度会极大地影响个人情绪、行为和认知表现。本文旨在：（1）概述当前评估日光感知方法的相关知识；（2）建立一种在文化背景下评估日光感知的方法。对50名学生进行了一项实验，要求他们选择最佳和最差座位，描述最佳书桌处的日光条件，并在图书馆中划分出感知到有日光和无日光的空间边界线。研究表明，主观评分和座位偏好方法与实际日光水平一致。然而，参与者划分的边界线并未反映出该空间实际的日光可获取情况。该研究表明，在文化背景下，可以使用主观评分和座位偏好方法来评估个体的日光感知。
