顏色如何影響你的情緒

If you've ever noticed that certain colors tend to have an impact on your mood and mental health, you're not alone. It's not uncommon for people to feel more cheerful when they're wearing their favorite color (via Verywell Mind). This is because different colors can have different psychological effects on you and elicit certain emotional responses.

如果你曾經(jīng)注意到某些顏色會(huì)對(duì)你的情緒和心理健康產(chǎn)生影響，那么你并不孤單。當(dāng)人們穿著自己喜歡的顏色時(shí)，他們會(huì)感到更快樂，這很正常。這是因?yàn)椴煌念伾珪?huì)對(duì)你產(chǎn)生不同的心理影響，并引發(fā)某些情緒反應(yīng)。

While further research is still needed, color psychology suggests that colors can influence your mood and evoke specific emotions. "This theory is grounded in the idea that our clothes can impact our feelings and behaviors, and therefore the colors that we wear can influence our mood," Lee Chambers, an environmental psychologist in the United Kingdom, told Real Simple.

雖然還需要進(jìn)一步的研究，但色彩心理學(xué)表明，色彩可以影響你的情緒，喚起特定的情緒。英國環(huán)境心理學(xué)家李·錢伯斯在接受《RealSimple》采訪時(shí)說：“這一理論的基礎(chǔ)是，我們的衣服會(huì)影響我們的情緒和行為，因此我們穿的顏色會(huì)影響我們的情緒。”

For instance, multiple studies suggest that the color red appears to boost confidence while increasing aggressiveness and competitiveness in both humans and animals. In addition, brighter colors like yellow are often associated with happiness and playfulness, while darker colors like black and gray tend to be associated with sadness.

例如，多項(xiàng)研究表明，無論是人類還是動(dòng)物，紅色似乎都能增強(qiáng)自信，增強(qiáng)攻擊性和競爭力。此外，像黃色這樣明亮的顏色通常與快樂和頑皮聯(lián)系在一起，而像黑色和灰色這樣較暗的顏色往往與悲傷聯(lián)系在一起。

Some psychologists use color therapy to help treat certain mental health disorders, like depression (via Healthline). Also known as chromotherapy, color therapy is an alternative therapy that uses color and light to improve both physical and mental health. This can be done by physically looking at particular colors, or by using a lamp or night light to reflect colored lights off of your body while you sleep.

一些心理學(xué)家使用色彩療法來幫助治療某些心理健康障礙，如抑郁癥(通過Healthline)。色彩療法也稱為顏色療法，是一種利用色彩和光線來改善身心健康的替代療法。這可以通過觀察特定的顏色來實(shí)現(xiàn)，也可以在睡覺時(shí)用燈或夜燈反射到身體上的彩色光線。

While this alternative medicine technique may seem like a relatively new phenomenon due to its sudden surge in popularity in recent years, historical records indicate that the practice actually dates all the way back to ancient China, Egypt, Greece, and India. However, little research has been conducted on the impact of color therapy, since it is still a relatively new field of study in the medical world. As a result, there isn't enough scientific evidence to confirm whether or not color therapy can actually treat or improve mental health.

由于近年來突然流行起來，這種替代醫(yī)學(xué)技術(shù)似乎是一個(gè)相對(duì)較新的現(xiàn)象，但歷史記錄表明，這種做法實(shí)際上可以追溯到古代中國、埃及、希臘和印度。然而，關(guān)于色彩療法的影響的研究很少，因?yàn)樗匀皇轻t(yī)學(xué)領(lǐng)域中一個(gè)相對(duì)較新的研究領(lǐng)域。因此，沒有足夠的科學(xué)證據(jù)來證實(shí)色彩療法是否真的能治療或改善心理健康。
