Brightness Increases More Positive Views of Humanity and Prosocial Behavior of People Low in Moral Identity
This paper tests an interactive effect of ambient lighting and moral identity on prosocial behavior. Individuals low in moral identity are more prosocial in bright than dark environment because the brightness increases their perceived humanity. In contrast, individuals high in moral identity do not change their prosocial intention with lighting.
