Are Coloring Books Really Just for Kids? Investigating Possible Effects of Specific Pattern Coloring on Conceptual, Physiological and Behavioral Aspects of Anxiety

Taylor, Hannah 01 January 2016 (has links)
This study examined the role of specific pattern coloring, such as coloring books for adults, on conceptual, behavioral and physiological measures of anxiety. Undergraduate female students (n = 8) had ECG electrodes and a respiration belt attached and completed the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) at five time points; at baseline, after an initial autobiographical anxiety induction, following a passive relaxation condition, after a repeat induction and then after a coloring condition. The participants were randomly split into a control and experimental group; the control group free colored while the experimental group colored in a mandala pattern. Participants had the option of coloring before bed to test the effect of coloring on sleep onset latency. The electrodes and respiration belt measured heart rate and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) data and MATLAB transformed the raw data to produce heart rate variability (HRV) values. The self-report data indicated that the manipulation did not induce anxiety and that there was no reduction in anxiety after the coloring conditions. Physiological data indicated that the manipulation successfully induced anxiety, however, there was no significant reduction in anxiety. Although the results of this study were not significant, they suggest that with a larger sample size, it would be possible to see an effect of specific pattern coloring on the reduction of anxiety.

La fonction socialisante de l'imaginaire

Jacquet- Montreuil, Michelle 16 March 1998 (has links) (PDF)
Le rôle de l'imaginaire ne semble pas - a priori - fondamental pour la dynamique de la motivation dans le contexte scolaire, c'est à dire dans un cadre envisagé en vue d'apprentissages par l'élève, de connaissances conformes à des programmes bien définis. Cependant on peut inverser cette perspective en concevant la motivation dans le cadre d'une réalisation de soi - dans le groupe et en fonction d'apprentissages répondant à des besoins créatifs spontanés. Les travaux effectués par Gilbert Durand sur l'Imaginaire - et en particulier sa conception des "structures anthropologiques de l'Imaginaire" - nous ont servi de fil conducteur théorique à partir duquel nous avons élaboré une méthodologie et réalisé une expérimentation dans différentes classes. Nous avons recueilli des données et analysé l'évolution de certaines situations scolaires individuelles et collectives. Au terme de cette recherche, nous constatons que si les contenus liés à une pédagogie de l'imaginaire restent importants, il apparaît surtout que c'est dans la régulation de l'espace-temps éducatif que se construit ou non la raison simultanée d'apprendre et de vivre ensemble Pour qu'une activité prenne du sens il faut en effet que soit combinées harmonieusement trois directions pédagogiques : la mise à l'épreuve individuelle, la participation au sein d'un groupe et la circulation de toute information dans le système apprenant qu'est la classe. Or cela correspond justement aux trois modes durandiens des structures de l'imaginaire : mode "héroïque", mode "mystique" et mode synthétique ou cyclique, trilogie constitutive des bases anthropologiques de la psyché, préfigurant dans son équilibre une éducation à visée socialisante et démocratique. L'hégémonie d'un modèle pédagogique - trop "héroïque par exemple - pourrait alors être envisagé comme facteur de séparation, d'échec scolaire, de fracture sociale...

Sebepoznání ve výtvarné expresi / Self-knowledge in art expression

Kubíčková, Kateřina January 2015 (has links)
This qualitative thesis deals self-knowledge in art expression. The work examines how the creator understands to his or her art product, what happens in the dialogue over the product and this understanding impacts to self-knowledge and self-transformation. The work represents the principle of expression and expressiveness as a phenomenon and mandala as a specific instrument of art expression, which is set in professional framework through its origin and tradition of use in therapeutic practice. The work is dedicated to process in which the meaning is explored and constitutes three stages, the first one is expression, second one is reflection and the third is analysis. Theory of expression, dynamic art therapy and hermeneutic approach are presented as three basic theoretical approaches in this work. The work describes three case reports in a dynamic process and interprets them through formal and thematic analysis, respectively which strategies are used to find meaning in picture and what is the character of the main topics. Keywords: Art expression, mandalas, self-knowledge, early adulthood, theory of expression, dynamic art therapy, hermeneutics.
