Abstract:
This study examined the effect of room color on state anxiety levels.
Participants were 120 undergraduate students from a midsize Kansas university. The participants were given the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory -State
scale (STAI-S), were given ten minutes of intensive exposure to one of four colors (red, blue, green or yellow), and were then given the STAI-S again. Results indicated no signi'ficant differences between the pre-and post-test scores by color or by gender, which did not support the proposed hypotheses. The results also did not support the findings from previous research.
