EFFECT OF THE ADDITION OF THE OTHER FACTOR ON THE EVALUATION OF THE EXPERIMENTAL COMBINED ENVIRONMENT OF THERMAL, VISUAL AND ACOUSTIC FACTORS : Discussion with "attention"

Abstract

Regression analysis was applied to the experimental data obtained from the different environmental conditions and procedures; the dependent variables were thermal sensation vote (specific scale), the impression of "warm-cool" and the impression of "hot-cold" (unspecific scale) and the independent variable was temperature. The slopes of the regression lines were compared between the standard condition and the added condition with the other factor. The results showed that the difference was significant in case of the unspecific scale and was not significant in case of specific scale. The effect of attention was suggested.
