- 13. observations Observations: Colour of light was more important than amount of light. different materials on floor gave different sensations of home and comfort. All of the shops except 1 used similar colours but to different effectiveness All stores had the same temperature (mall environment) Interactions with staff strongly influenced how long I wanted to stay. Most people at a mall are with someone else. Skewed results It was how people were dressed not their attractiveness that influenced my wanting to shop there. Page 13
