Ms. Foundation,anOrganizationforWomen(B)Nervous suspects(嫌疑犯)locked up in Britain's newest police station may feel relieved bya pleasant yellow Colour on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wallmight tip the balance.Gwent Police have abandoned colours such as greys and browns of the 20th-century policecell(牢房)and have used colour psychology to decorate them.Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of£5 million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia(幽闭恐怖症). Designers have paintedthe frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming colour. Other cells contain a royal blue linebecause psychologists believe that the colour is likely to encourage truthfulness.The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a“live scan”system for drunken ordisturbedprisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoner'sbreathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened.Designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It alsosuggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colours will calm themind and aid concentration.Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the colour wrong and itcould cause fear,depression and anxiety,but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect.Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour,said that colour wasan“ene rg y force”. She said: “B lue does enhance communication but I am not sure it wouldenhance truthful communication.”Yellow,she said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be consideredbecause it could increase aggression. Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in thecells. Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with colour to calm down or persuadeprisoners to co-operate. In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on researchcarriedoutbytheUSNavy.45.

The passage is mainly concerned with ______A. the relationship between colours and psychologyB. a comparison ofdifferent functions of coloursC. the use of colours in cell s to affect criminals’psychologyD. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prisonThe“Bystander Apathy Effect”was first studied by researchers in New York afterneighbours ignored—and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs—the cries of awoman as she was murdered(over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficultygenerally, they found that:(1)womenarehelpedmorethanmen;(2)menhelpmore thanwomen;(3)attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.Other factors relate to the number ofpeople in the area, whether the person is thought to bein trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help.According to Adrian Furnham, Professor 0f University College, London, there are threereasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:(1)“Shifting of responsibility”一the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more“other peop le’ there are, thegreater thetotal shifting ofresponsibility.(2)“'Fear of making a mistake'’一situations are often not clear. People think that those involved in an accident may know each other or it may be ajoke, so a fear of embarrassment makes themkeep themselves to themselves.(3)“Fear ofthe consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”Laurie Taylor,Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the exper iments I’veseen on intervention(介入), much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on publictransportwhichishardtobreak. Weareembarrassedtodraw attentionto something thatishappening, while in a football match, people get involved, and a fight would easily follo w. ”Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “The British as awhole have some difficulty intervening, but there are exceptional individuals in every group whoare prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety: These would be people with a strongmoral code or religious ideals.”48.
