Light can significantly influence users' physiological and behavioural performance. However, how light breathing influences users' mood regulation remains unknown. To fill this gap, this study conducted a 2-by-2 experiment (N = 20) with light breathing as the between-subject factor and light condition as the within-subject factor. Both physiological indicators and subjective indicators are measured to reflect mood regulation. The data were analysed using a generalised linear mixed model. The results showed that breathing lights are effective in regulating users' moods. More specifically, breathing lights help users lower their electrodermal values and heart rates. Users did not report any significant difference in terms of subjective measures, which suggest that the influence of a breathing light happens unconsciously. Furthermore, this effect is significant for both cold and warm colour temperatures. Designers and engineers can use the research findings to manage user emotion when necessary.
光可以显著影响用户的生理和行为表现。然而，光呼吸如何影响用户的情绪调节尚不清楚。为了填补这一空白，本研究进行了一项 2x2 实验（N=20），以光呼吸为被试间因素，光条件为被试内因素。通过测量生理指标和主观指标来反映情绪调节。使用广义线性混合模型对数据进行分析。结果表明，呼吸灯在调节用户情绪方面非常有效。更具体地说，呼吸灯会帮助用户降低皮肤电值和心率。在主观测量方面，用户没有报告任何显著差异，这表明呼吸灯的影响是无意识发生的。此外，这种效果对于冷色温和暖色温都是显著的。设计师和工程师可以在需要时利用研究结果来管理用户的情绪。
