P-36　An examination how colors and content of the box affect carrying task

Abstract

Despite we bring the stuffs with the same weight, in some case we might feel it heavier than the actual weight, and in other case vice versa. Thus, perception of weight would be influenced not only by physical weight but also by "something". As the "something", we focused on the colors and the attributes. In previous literature, it was found that brightness of color would affect the perception of weight, and that the attribute would also influence the perception of weight. Therefore, it could be said that the above two factors, i.e. colors and attributes, would be in the same schema. Considering based on the findings obtained by the previous research, the influences of both brightness and attributes to human performance could be similar influence of physical weight. The purpose of this research is to validate this hypothesis..
