表現対象および表現方法が異なる絵画の鑑賞がストレスに与える影響の評価

抄録

This study assesses the impact of varying objects and artistic techniques in viewing paintings on stress reduction using biometric measurements. A multi-physiological sensor combined with a tabletop eye-movement measurement device was utilized during the study. The evaluation indices included skin conductance response (SCR), low-to-high frequency ratio (LF/HF), and pupil diameter. We found a significant reduction in SCR, LF/HF, and pupil diameter while participants (n = 13) viewed paintings, regardless of the specific objects or artistic techniques depicted. These findings suggest that viewing paintings effectively reduce stress, irrespective of the content or artistic techniques utilized in the artwork. Finally, the questionnaire results revealed that individuals without extensive art expertise were still able to appropriately classify paintings in terms of abstraction.
