"He is the king," said john wanamaker, who turned an abandoned train station in Philadelphia into one of the first department stores in the world in 1876. This revolutionary concept changed the face of retail industry and led to the development of advertising and marketing as we know it today.

Although the slogan was convincing, the shopper was cheated out of the crown. __57__ Manufacturing efficiency has increased the variety of goods and reduced the price, but people still rely on advertisements to get most information about products.

Nervous suspects locked up in Britain's latest police station may be relieved by the pleasant yellow color on the door. If they are about to confess their crimes, the blue on the wall may upset the balance.

Gwynter police have abandoned the gray and brown of police cells in the 20th century and used color psychology to decorate them.

The Ystrad Mynach Station, which was recently built at a cost of 5 million pounds, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners suffering from claustrophobia. Designers paint the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calm color. Other cells contain the royal blue line, because psychologists think this color may encourage honesty.

The station has 3 1 cells, of which 12 cells are equipped with a "real-time scanning" system for drunken or insane prisoners, which can detect the ups and downs of their chests. If the prisoner's breathing stops, the alarm will alert the police officer and ring until the door is opened.

Designers and psychologists have been studying color for many years. It is said that blue represents trust, efficiency, responsibility, logic, calmness, thinking and calmness. It also implies coldness and unfriendly. It is believed that strong blue will stimulate clear thinking, while brighter and softer colors will calm the mind and help to concentrate.

Yellow is associated with self-confidence, self-esteem and friendliness. The wrong color may lead to fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can improve the spirit and self-esteem.

Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the influence of color, said that color is an "energy". She said: "Blue can really enhance communication, but I'm not sure it can enhance real communication."

She said that yellow will affect thinking. On the other hand, red should not be considered because it will increase aggression. Mrs. Collins praised the color used by the designer in the cell. Gwent is not the first British army to try to appease or persuade prisoners to cooperate with color. In the190s, Strathclyde police used pink in their cells according to the research conducted by the US Navy.

The "bystander apathy effect" was first studied by researchers in new york, after neighbors ignored a woman's crying when she was murdered (more than half an hour) and sometimes turned up the TV. About helping people who are generally in trouble, they found that:

(1) Women get more help than men;

(2) Men help more than women;

(3) Beautiful women get more help than unattractive women.

Other factors are related to the number of people in the area, whether they think the person is in trouble because of his own fault, and whether he thinks he can help.

According to Adrian Furnham, a professor at University College London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by and do nothing:

(1) "Pass the buck"-the more people there are, the less likely they are to help. Everyone makes excuses for himself and thinks that others will help, so the more "others", the greater the overall responsibility transfer.

(2) The situation of "fear of making mistakes" is often unclear. People think that it involves an accident, they may know each other or it may be a joke, so an embarrassing fear makes them keep themselves.

(3) "I am afraid of the consequences of turning my attention to you, and this person is violent."

Laurie Taylor, a professor of sociology at the University of London, said: "In the intervention experiments I have seen, it depends largely on.
