Abstract As an external physical environment, illumination affects person's prosocial behaviors. On the one hand, due to the influence of self-constructionand psychological distance, low-light environment promotes prosocial behavior.On the other hand, the low-light environment inhibits prosocial behavior because of anonymity, self-importance of morality, metaphor and so on. Previous studies only considered individual factors and did not consider the role of different illumination. The reasons for different conclusions may be different illumination conditions: in the relativelyhigh illumination environments, low-light environmentspromotes prosocial behavior; otherwise it inhibits prosocial behavior.
