The relationship between human field motion and preferred visible wavelengths.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between human field motion and preferred visible wavelengths. The study was based on the principle of resonancy from Rogers' science of unitary human beings; 201 subjects were tested using a modified version of Ference's human field motion test (HFMT). Two matrices of color were projected to provide an environment for the measurement of preferred visible wavelengths. There was no statistically significant relationship (r = 0.0387, p = 0.293) between scores on the human field motion test and preferred visible wavelengths as measured in nanometers. The Rogerian concept of accelerated human field rhythms being coordinate with higher frequency environment patterns was not supported in this study. Questions concerning the validity of the HFMT were expressed and were based upon the ambiguity of the terminology of the instrument and the lack of understanding of the concepts used to describe human field motion. Recommendations include the use of other methods to study Rogers' framework, and the development of other instrumentation to measure human field motion.
