We already know that light influences our daily mood. A question therefore arises… Would it also have other functions? Well, yeah ! According to a study by researchers from the University of New York and Sydney, the brightness would lead to poor financial choices. And if too intense a light finally explained our compulsive purchases? Aaah, so that would be it!
An impact on the financial markets?
Scientists have found an answer to the sometimes inconsistent monetary decisions of financiers. It would seem that the overflow of light would prevent the interviewees from handling money. The panel had to choose between immediately winning $5 no matter what, or having a 50% chance of winning $20. General surprise! Of the 2,500 people surveyed, the majority preferred to collect the 5 dollars.
