Shedding Light on the Influence of Illumination on Social Behaviors

We find that participants in bright (versus dim) settings demonstrate greater consideration of others’ opinions, needs, rights and viewpoints; public self-consciousness mediates the effect of illumination on social behaviors; and the effect is reversed when social desirability is not relevant.
