“…In meta-analysis studies, it was found that laughter therapy is an effective complementary method and reduces anxiety levels [ 28 , 47 ]. Zhao et al found that the humor intervention program they applied to older adults was effective in reducing anxiety symptoms and increasing subjective well-being [ 48 ]. According to the study by Deible et al stress reduction methods such as yoga and meditation applied to nurses improve the coping mechanism and reduce perceived stress.…”

“…It is a complex cognitive process that can result in an emotional state of amusement and can trigger laughter [2]. Research in positive psychology induces amusement to modulate psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia and depression [3][4][5]. This positive emotion can also benefit cognitive functions such as memory [5,6].…”

In addition to having different research uses, amusement differs from joy in terms of facial expressions, physiological signals, and feelings [7,8].…”

Amusement can help modulate psychological disorders and cognitive functions. Unfortunately, algorithms classifying emotions still combine multiple positive emotions into a unique emotion, namely joy, making it hard to use amusement in a real-life setting. Here we train a Long-Short-Term-Memory (LSTM) on electroencephalography (EEG) to predict amusement on a categorical scale. Participants (n=10) watched and rated 120 videos with various funniness levels while their brain activity was recorded with an Emotiv Headset. Participant’s ratings were divided into four bins of amusement (low, medium, high & very high) based on the participant’s ranking’s percentile. Nested cross-validation was used to validate the models. We first left out one video from each participant for the final model’s validation and a leave-one-group-out technique was used to test the model on an unseen participant during the training phase. The nested cross-validation was tested on sixteen different videos. We created an LSTM model with five hidden layers, vatch size of 256 and an input layer of 14 x 128 (number of electrodes x 1 sec of recording) and four nodes representing the different levels of amusement. The best model obtained during the training phase was tested on the unseen video. While the level of accuracy between the validation videos varies slightly (mean=57.3%, std=13.7%), our best model obtained an accuracy of 82,4%. This high accuracy supports the use of brain activity to predict amusement. Moreover, the validation process we design conveys that models using this technique are transferable across participants and videos.

“…Sleep quality serves as a significant restoration mechanism, helping individuals maintain stable emotions, fostering a more positive and optimistic outlook, and increasing subjective well-being ( 14 , 15 ). Previous research has found that higher sleep quality is associated with greater positive emotions and stronger subjective well-being in various populations, including adolescents ( 16 ), older adults ( 17 ), athletes ( 18 ), and police officers ( 19 ). Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of research specifically analyzing the relationship between sleep quality and the subjective well-being of college students.…”

Background/PurposeSleep quality significantly impacts subjective well-being, yet its underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown from a scholarly perspective. Existing research has inadequately addressed the relationship between sleep quality and the subjective well-being of College students. This study primarily investigates the influence of sleep quality on the subjective well-being of College students and explores the mediating role of resilience and the moderating role of belief in a just world.MethodsThe study sample comprises 3349 enrolled College students. Measures include the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Subjective Well-being Scale, resilience scale, and belief in a just world scale. A moderated mediation model is employed to verify the mediating role of resilience and the moderating role of belief in a just world.Results(1) Sleep quality among College students is significantly positively correlated with resilience, belief in a just world, and subjective well-being. (2) Sleep quality positively predicts subjective well-being among College students. Resilience among College students serves as a mediator between sleep quality and subjective well-being, while belief in a just world moderates the influence of resilience on subjective well-being.ConclusionThe results suggest that sleep quality can directly enhance the subjective well-being of College students and can also indirectly affect it through resilience. Additionally, belief in a just world can enhance the promoting effect of resilience on the subjective well-being of College students. These findings may contribute to understanding the impact of sleep quality on the subjective well-being of College students and its pathways. These research findings can serve as a reference for improving the subjective well-being of College students.
