“…Internal consistency was moderately high for both subscales (α = 0.78–0.87). The PANAS has been used in several previous studies that manipulated mood (e.g., Heilman et al, 2010; Wendrich et al, 2010). …”

Seeing the forest through the trees: improving decision making on the Iowa gambling task by shifting focus from short- to long-term outcomes

Introduction: The present study sought to examine two methods by which to improve decision making on the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT): inducing a negative mood and providing additional learning trials.Method: In the first study, 194 undergraduate students [74 male; Mage = 19.44 (SD = 3.69)] were randomly assigned to view a series of pictures to induce a positive, negative, or neutral mood immediately prior to the IGT. In the second study, 276 undergraduate students [111 male; Mage = 19.18 (SD = 2.58)] completed a delay discounting task and back-to-back administrations of the IGT.Results: Participants in an induced negative mood selected more from Deck C during the final trials than those in an induced positive mood. Providing additional learning trials resulted in better decision making: participants shifted their focus from the frequency of immediate gains/losses (i.e., a preference for Decks B and D) to long-term outcomes (i.e., a preference for Deck D). In addition, disadvantageous decision making on the additional learning trials was associated with larger delay discounting (i.e., a preference for more immediate but smaller rewards).Conclusions: The present results indicate that decision making is affected by negative mood state, and that decision making can be improved by increasing the number of learning trials. In addition, the current results provide evidence of a relationship between performance on the IGT and on a separate measure of decision making, the delay discounting task. Moreover, the present results indicate that improved decision making on the IGT can be attributed to shifting focus toward long-term outcomes, as evidenced by increased selections from advantageous decks as well as correlations between the IGT and delay discounting task. Implications for the assessment of decision making using the IGT are discussed.

“…Stewart and Lonsdale (2016) compared participation in choir, sports, and solo singing, finding that while both group activities had a significant positive impact on psychological well-being, the choir was deemed a “more coherent or ‘meaningful’ social group” (p. 1240) by participants. Researchers have also demonstrated that choir singing can induce both positive and negative emotions (Wendrich, Brauchle, & Stautinger, 2010).…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the culture of choral singing among children and youth in Pretoria East, South Africa. The philosophical underpinnings of the choirs, the roles of choirs within local and national communities, and the perceived values and benefits of participation were examined. This collective case study required the integration of standard ethnographic strategies employed over the course of a month-long period of fieldwork and two shorter follow-up visits. I observed approximately 40 hours of rehearsal and 25 hours of performance, focusing on five choirs in and around the University of Pretoria. I also conducted 22 semi-structured interviews with choristers, directors, staff members, and parents. Participants identified a philosophy of “message bearing” as the primary goal of choral performance. Innovation and diversity in programming and competition were additional emergent themes related to this philosophy. Choirs were found to have multiple roles, including recruiting and marketing, promoting diverse South African musical cultures, and cultivating a national, South African identity. Participants described a wide range of musical, social, educational, and personal benefits associated with participation, with choristers most commonly alluding to choir as a means of “relaxing.” Choir emerged as a source of bridging social capital, encouraging cooperation among participants from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, promoting intercultural understanding and trust, and cultivating a broadened sense of national South African identity.

“…A atividade de cantar pode promover a autoconfiança e a autoestima, melhorar a avaliação pessoal, a motivação, as competências sociais e o bem-estar, tendo um efeito positivo no estado de humor e, ainda, na estimulação cognitiva dos indivíduos (Clift & Hancox, 2010;Cohen et al, 2006;Davidson & Faulkner, 2010;Sakano et al, 2014;Kreutz et al, 2004;Li & SouthCott, 2012;Skingley & Bungay, 2010;Wendrich et al, 2010;Yinger, 2014).…”

“…Os estudos mostram resultados positivos da atividade de canto também em seniores com demência, melhorando a sua capacidade de expressão de emoções positivas e diminuindo os níveis de ansiedade e depressão (Götell, Brown, & Ekman, 2009;Hammar, Emami, Engström, & Götell, 2011;Houston et al, 1998;Wendrich, Brauchle, & Staudinger, 2010). Seniores com défices cognitivos, que participaram num programa com uso de DVDs facilitadores da atividade de cantar, percecionaram benefícios na interacção social, estimulação sensorial e qualidade de vida (Clements-Cortés, 2014).…”

ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar o impacto da participação num programa de canto no bem-estar subjetivo (BES) de seniores. Método: O presente estudo, com metodologia experimental, utilizou medidas estruturadas das dimensões afetiva e cognitiva do BES (Afeto Positivo e Negativo -PANAS -e Satisfação com a Vida -SWLS) e entrevistas semiestruturadas para testar o impacto de um programa de canto de curta duração (10 sessões, durante cinco semanas), no BES de um grupo de seniores, com idades entre 61 e 92 anos, num centro de dia. Trinta seniores aceitaram participar no programa de canto e foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos (experimental e de controlo), sendo que 26 participantes no total terminaram a intervenção nos dois grupos (quatro homens, 15.3%; 22 mulheres, 84.6%; M = 75 anos de idade). Resultados: Observou-se um decréscimo significativo do nível de afeto negativo no grupo experimental, após a intervenção, que foi significativamente inferior ao do grupo de controlo. No entanto, este efeito não se manteve na medida de follow-up, oito semanas após a intervenção. Numa análise qualitativa à perceção dos indivíduos sobre a sua participação no programa indicou benefícios na interação e apoio social entre os seniores, na expressão de emoções positivas e em novas aprendizagens. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que programas de grupos de canto podem promover variáveis de BES.Palavras-Chave: programa de canto, bem-estar subjetivo, afeto positivo e negativo, satisfação com a vida, desenho experimental Abstract Objective: To evaluate the impact of the participation in a singing program in the subjective well-being (SWB) of seniors. Method: This study, with experimental methodology, used structured measures on the affective and cognitive dimensions of SWB (Positive Affect and Negative Affect -PANAS -and Satisfaction with Life -SWLS) to test the impact of a short singing program (10 sessions, during four weeks), on seniors attending a day care facility. Thirty seniors (aged between 61 and 92 years old) accepted to participate in the singing program and were randomly assigned into two groups (experimental and control): 26 completed the intervention (four men, 15.3%; 22 women, 84.6%, M = 75 years of age). Results: There was a significant decrease in negative affect in the experimental group after the intervention, which was significantly lower compared to the control group. However, this effect was not sustained at follow-up measurement, eight weeks after intervention. A qualitative analysis of the perception of individuals about their participation in the program showed gains in social support and interaction between participants, in the expression of positive emotions and in knowledge acquisition. Conclusion:The results suggest that singing groups programs may promote SWB variables.
