The relationship between human field motion and preferred visible wavelengths

Area of Science:

• Nursing Science
• Theoretical Nursing

Background:

• The science of unitary human beings, proposed by Rogers, posits resonance between human fields and environmental patterns.
• Previous theoretical frameworks suggest a link between human field rhythms and environmental frequencies, specifically visible light.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate the relationship between human field motion and preferred visible wavelengths.
• To test the Rogerian principle of resonance between human field rhythms and environmental patterns.

Main Methods:

• 201 subjects were assessed using a modified Ference's human field motion test (HFMT).
• Preferred visible wavelengths were measured using projected color matrices.

Main Results:

• No statistically significant relationship was found between HFMT scores and preferred visible wavelengths (r = 0.0387, p = 0.293).
• The study did not support the Rogerian concept of accelerated human field rhythms correlating with higher frequency environmental patterns.

Conclusions:

• The findings do not support a direct correlation between human field motion and preferred visible light wavelengths.
• Concerns were raised regarding the validity and clarity of the human field motion test (HFMT) terminology and concepts.
• Recommendations include exploring alternative methods and developing new instrumentation to study Rogers' theoretical framework.
