■研究表明,视觉图像的情感唤起与观看者的反应之间存在关系,然而,对这些关联的理解有限,尤其是当他们与观众的个人经历逆境。
■在这项探索性研究中,我们研究了面具图像的视觉内容和观众的反应之间的关系。在一项在线调查中,699名参与者(最初的参与者总数为1,010人)根据效价对98个口罩进行了评级,唤醒,和个人相关性,并完成了生活事件清单。面具包括由创伤性脑损伤(TBI)的服务人员(SM)创建的面具,和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD),描绘身体,心理,和道德伤害以及由创意艺术治疗师和健康艺术学者创造的匹配的中性面具。
■研究结果表明,对面具图像内容的反应(创伤与中性)与观看者的逆境和创伤的个人历史有关。具体来说,表示损伤/创伤的图像比中性图像引起更强的效价和唤醒反应。此外,有个人创伤史的参与者对令人痛苦的图像有更高的情绪反应。
这些发现对艺术治疗师以及临床和一般人群都有影响,因为这些结果突出了令人痛苦的意象的潜在影响,特别是对于经历或目睹创伤事件的个人历史。
UNASSIGNED: Studies suggest a relationship between the emotional evocativeness of visual imagery and viewer responses, however, there is limited understanding of these associations, especially as they relate to viewers\' personal experiences of adversities.
UNASSIGNED: In this exploratory study, we examined the relationship between the visual content of mask images and viewers\' responses. In an online survey 699 participants (of n = 1,010 total initial participants) rated 98 masks based on valence, arousal, and personal relevance and completed the Life Events Checklist. The masks included those created by service members (SMs) with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depicting physical, psychological, and moral injuries and matched neutral masks created by creative arts therapists and arts in health scholars.
UNASSIGNED: The findings indicated that responses to mask image content (traumatic versus neutral) were associated with viewers\' personal history of adversity and trauma. Specifically, images representing injury/trauma provoked stronger reactions on valence and arousal than neutral images. Moreover, participants with personal histories of trauma had heightened emotional responses to distressing imagery.
UNASSIGNED: These findings have implications for art therapists as well as for clinical and general populations in that these results highlight the potential impact of distressing imagery particularly for individuals with personal histories of experiencing or witnessing traumatic events.
