As an external physical environment,illumination affects person’s prosocial behaviors.On the one hand,due to the influence of self-construction and psychological distance,low-light environment promotes prosocial behavior.On the other hand,the low-light environment inhibits prosocial behavior because of anonymity,self-importance of morality,metaphor and so on.Previous studies only considered individual factors and did not consider the role of different illumination.In the present study,we reason that the reasons for different conclusions may be attributed to different illumination conditions.That is,in the relatively higher illumination environments,low-light environment promotes prosocial behavior;otherwise,it inhibits prosocial behavior.
