We examined five main quality of life (QOL) domains (physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environmental health) using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-26). We also examined the total scale score. We examined Spearman’s rank correlations between POMS mood state and QOL scores and compared male and female students’ scores. The results indicated statistically significant correlations between all six mood states and three broad WHOQOL-26 domains (physical health, psychological health, and social relationships). Moreover, the relationship between mood state and QOL showed a gender difference. There were correlations between mood states and the QOL domains of social relationships and environmental health for males. In contrast, mood state correlated with the QOL domains of physical health and psychological health in females. The findings suggest that gender-specific health provision is needed to care for young university students in Japan. However, our study has several limitations;therefore, larger-scale studies with older subjects are needed in the future.展开更多

Methods: The subjects were divided into two groups: Group A with soil observation, and Group B without it. Soil observation was performed by smelling soil, touching the soil and other ways. Evaluation was made using heart rate change variability, POMS and visual analog scale (VAS). Results: Group A showed an increase in high frequency (HF) and the LF (low frequency)/HF ratio and a decrease in heart rate, leading to activating the functions of the parasympathetic nervous system. VAS values for “not comforted at all” indicated that the scale was lower in Group A than in Group B. In POMS, a factor of “vigor” became lower in Group B than in Group A. Discussion: It was suggested that soil observation was effective in bringing people to a state of physiological and mental relaxation and reducing stress because it raised the degree of being comforted, increased HF, decreased the heart rate and activated the parasympathetic nervous system. Conclusions: By performing soil observation, the heart rate decreased, HF increased and an upsurge sentiment became normalized.展开更多
人的情绪是人们对于客观事物是否满足自身需求而产生的一种综合状态,与生理信号有着密切的关联。对被试者心理状态剖面图(profile of moods states,POMS)的分量值和同时记录的个体静息态的脑电信号(electroencephalogram,EEG)特征值进...人的情绪是人们对于客观事物是否满足自身需求而产生的一种综合状态,与生理信号有着密切的关联。对被试者心理状态剖面图(profile of moods states,POMS)的分量值和同时记录的个体静息态的脑电信号(electroencephalogram,EEG)特征值进行关联性分析研究。用小波变换对原始脑电信号进行预处理,脑电信号的特征值提取过程采用了经验模态分解(empirical mode decomposition,EMD)的方法,从预处理过的脑电信号中提取波动指数作为脑电特征值,随后将提取出的脑电特征值与POMS各分量值进行Pearson关联性分析。通过对8个被试者连续7天的POMS量表和脑电信号的记录与分析,得到脑电信号与情绪量表中的分量存在一定的正相关关联。展开更多
