In the study, 100 business students took a 10-question algebra test. Half the group took the test in the presence of a coffee-like scent, while the other half took the test in an unscented room. The results revealed that the group in the coffee-smelling room scored significantly higher on the test than those in the unscented room.
在这项研究中,100位商学院学生做了10道代数题。一半的人是在咖啡香味的环境中做的测试题,另一半是在没有咖啡香味的房间中做的题。结果表明:在咖啡香味环境中做题的学生的得分明显高于在没有咖啡香味环境中做题的学生。
In a follow-up study, the researchers quizzed 200 new participants on their beliefs about various scents and their effects on human performance. Their answers revealed that they believed they would feel more alert in the presence of a coffee scent. This suggests that their expectations about performance may have influenced their improved skills.
在后续研究中,研究员对200名其他受试者做了测试,询问在他们心中各种气味及这些气味对人们表现力的影响是何想法。他们的答案表明:闻到咖啡香,他们就会更清醒。这表明他们对表现力的期望或影响他们能力的提升。
The researchers believe that the findings could have major implications in the real world. Professor Madzharov added: "Olfaction is one of our most powerful senses. Employers, architects, building developers, retail space managers and others, can use subtle scents to help shape employees' or occupants' experience with their environment. It's an area of great interest and potential."
