美国明尼苏达大学的梅尔斯莱维教授等人,做了一个心理实验。他们招募一些大学生志愿者,让他们进入4个不同的房间,这些房间除了天花板高度不同,其余布置都一模一样。结果他们发现,在地面距天花板2.4米左右的房间里,受试者普遍反映心情比较压抑、受限制,而在天花板达3米以上高度的房间里,则感觉心态更自由、开放。有趣的是,根据进一步的研究,梅尔斯莱维等人发现,在天花板高的房间里,人们变得更宽容友善、不爱挑剔,更容易关注到事物的优点。他们建议,将这种特性用到家庭装修或商场 Myers Levi, University of Minnesota and others, made a psychological experiment. They recruited college volunteers and allowed them to enter four different rooms that were identical except for the ceiling height. As a result, they found that in the room about 2.4 meters above the ceiling from the ceiling, participants generally felt depressed and restricted. In a room with ceiling height of 3 meters or more, they felt more free and open. Interestingly, according to further research, Myles Levi et al. Found that people are more forgiving and friendly in the high-ceiling rooms, less critical and more concerned with the advantages of things. They suggest using this feature for home improvement or shopping
