Abstract: (1336 Views)
This study explores the relationship between interior design and mental perception, drawing on Bertrand Russell’s evolving views on the mind-body connection. Initially, Russell accepted the objective reality of the external world, independent of sensory perception. However, he later shifted toward an empirical approach, interpreting objects through sensory data and aligning mental functions with physical brain processes. Within this conceptual framework, the research investigates how home interior design based on Islamic-Iranian principles influences psychological responses. A semi-experimental method was employed; involving 40 randomly selected male students from the Islamic Arts University of Tabriz during the 1401 academic year. Participants were shown two video clips of the same space—one incorporating Islamic-Iranian design elements such as symmetry and spiritual symbolism, and the other lacking these features. Brain activity and mental responses were recorded and analyzed using EEG and SPSS (version 23), with results processed via multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Findings revealed a statistically significant difference in participants’ mental perceptions between the two conditions (P < 0.01). The Islamic-Iranian design resulted in greater satisfaction, attention, and a sense of tranquility. The study concludes that culturally and spiritually grounded interior design positively impacts mental well-being and user experience.
