“…They compared an open studio condition (participants could choose from 5 different art projects) with a control group (relaxing in comfortable chairs), and found a significant decrease in anxiety for the experimental group (N D 57). Glinzak (2016) also found that a drop-in open studio condition provided the greatest decrease in distress for adult patients who had cancer (N D 73). Some studies have focused on the use of art making for short-term mood repair in relation to sadness (e.g., Dalebroux, Goldstein, & Winner, 2008;Drake & Hodge, 2015;Drake & Winner 2012).…”

Background: Coloring books for adults have become a ubiquitous presence in retail outlets worldwide and in the visual cultural landscape. The goal of this study was to determine differences in outcomes between art therapist-facilitated open studio and individual coloring. Methods: The study used a within-subjects experimental design. Healthy adult participants (aged 19-67 years) were invited to engage in one session each of individual coloring, and open studio facilitated by an art therapist. A total of 36 participants enrolled in the study; 29 completed pre-and post-surveys for both conditions. Outcomes measured included positive and negative affect, perceived stress, self-efficacy, and creative agency. Results: The art therapist-facilitated open studio condition resulted in superior improvements in positive affect, creative agency, and self-efficacy compared to the coloring condition. Both conditions resulted in lowered stress and reduced negative affect. Discussion and implications: The results indicated that coloring might have therapeutic benefits on distress; however, only the art therapist-facilitated open studio session showed significant improvements in self-efficacy, self-perceptions of creativity, and positive mood. Art therapists might consider using the phenomenon of coloring as a doorway to art therapy and more spontaneous creative and self-expression for transformative change. Future studies should seek to identify the unique mechanism of change through which art therapist-facilitated art making explains the shifts in positive affect, creative agency, and self-efficacy. R ESUM E Contexte : Les livres a colorier pour adultes sont d esormais omnipr esents dans les magasins partout dans le monde et dans le paysage culturel visuel. Le but de cette etude etait d' etablir les diff erences entre les r esultats obtenus dans le cadre d'un studio ouvert facilit e par un art-th erapeute et le coloriage individuel. M ethodes : L' etude a eu recours a un devis exp erimental intra-sujets. Des participants adultes en bonne sant e (âg es de 19 a 67 ans) ont et e invit es a participer a une session de coloriage individuel et a un studio ouvert anim e par un art-th erapeute. Au total, 36 personnes se sont inscrites a l' etude ; 29 d'entre elles ont r epondu a un questionnaire avant et apr es l'intervention. Les r esultats mesur es portaient sur les affects positifs et n egatifs, le stress perçu, le sentiment d'efficacit e personnelle et l'agentivit e cr eatrice. R esultats : La situation de studio ouvert anim e par un art-th erapeute a donn e lieu a de plus grandes am eliorations en ce qui concerne les affects positifs, l'agentivit e cr eatrice et le sentiment d'efficacit e personnelle, comparativement a la situation de coloriage. Les deux situations ont entraîn e une diminution du stress et de l'affect n egatif. Discussion et implications : Les r esultats indiquent que le coloriage peut avoir des effets th erapeutiques sur la d etresse ; toutefois, seule la session en studio ouvert anim ee par un artth erapeute a e...

“…These therapeutic effects of beauty are evident enough that the concept has been developed into research fields called art therapy, music therapy and beauty therapy. Numerous studies have shown the possibility that ordinary people as well as patients can treat emotional and psychological problems by experiencing the beauty of art (Gfeller, 1987; Glinzak, 2016; Hillecke et al , 2005; Kim, 2015; Robb, 2000; Kostyunina and Drozdikova-Zaripova, 2016), and these treatments have been widely practiced. Research on beauty therapy has also reported that ordinary people and patients improved their mood and self-concept by beautifully embellishing themselves (Heo and Kim, 2012; Sharma and Black, 2001).…”

Does online shopping make consumers feel better? Exploring online retail therapy effects on consumers’ attitudes towards online shopping malls

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between online retail therapy and consumers’ attitudes towards online fashion shopping malls (ATO) based on the stimulus–organism–response model. Design/methodology/approach This study examined how online retail therapy factors (e.g. the aesthetics of web design and attractiveness of the models) affect consumers’ ATO. In particular, the authors examined the mediation of positive mood reinforcement (PMR) and negative mood reduction (NMR). Findings The results indicated that aesthetics has a significant and direct effect on ATO. However, model attractiveness has an indirect effect on ATO through PMR and NMR. In addition, the direct effect of aesthetics on ATO is greater than the indirect effect of model attractiveness. Therefore, online fashion shopping malls need to concentrate on improving the aesthetics of the shopping malls. For fashion shopping malls that do not have the capacity to improve the aesthetics, it is possible to improve ATO by using highly attractive models. Originality/value This study applied the concept of retail therapy to the online environment and verified the effect. This study expanded the scope of the study of retail therapy by examining the effect of mood improvement on ATO as well. Further, this study examined the structure of two online retail therapy factors, aesthetics and model attractiveness, that affect ATO through PMR and NMR, and suggested managerial implications for online shopping malls.

“…Die Befundlage muss jedoch mit Vorsicht interpretiert werden, da die hier vorgesellten Studien nur in Einzelfällen mit hinreichend großen oder kontrollierten Stichproben gearbeitet haben. Sie stehen jedoch in Bezug zu Ergebnissen aus der Kunsttherapie bei unterschiedlichen Stadien onkologischer Erkrankungen, bei denen eine umfangreichere Datenlage vorliegt, die auf eine signifikante Reduktion von Angst und Depression [3,16,29,30,33,40], ein geringeres Ausmaß des Erlebens von Stress [14,29], eine verbesserte Wahrnehmung von Gesundheit und eine Verbesserung der Krankheitsbewältigung [16,39], Verbesserung der Lebensqualität [29,36,39] und Unterstützung der psychischen Gesundheit durch die kreativen, begleitenden Interventionen hinweist [29,39]. Im Rahmen der Wirkfaktorenforschung ist herauszustellen, dass in 2 Studien einzelne spezifische Aspekte der Kunsttherapie respektive Dimensionen der ästhetischen Erfahrung und des künstlerischen Ausdrucks und ihre Sensitivität im Prä-/ Postvergleich mit untersucht wurden [25,26].…”

SummaryKunsttherapie (Therapie mit bildnerischen Medien) wird in der Palliativversorgung seit über 30 Jahren angeboten und im Rahmen der palliativen Komplexbehandlung (OPS 9–982) neben anderen begleitenden Therapiemaßnahmen empfohlen. Entgegen einer breiten praktischen Erfahrung ist ihre Wirkung bisher jedoch wissenschaftlich kaum untersucht. Auf Basis einer systematischen Datenbankrecherche wurde der aktuelle Forschungs- und Erfahrungsstand ermittelt und in 2 Übersichtsarbeiten aufgeteilt. In dieser Publikation liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Methodik zur Erstellung des Reviews und der Darstellung des Forschungsstands. Unter insgesamt 82 internationalen Artikeln konnten 5 an größeren Stichproben durchgeführte Studien gefunden werden, in denen sich positive Effekte von Kunsttherapie auf Depression, Traurigkeit, Ängste, Müdigkeit, Fatigue, Wohlbefinden, Krankheitsgefühl und Schmerz aufzeigen ließen. Eine Validierung dieser Befunde durch Kontrollgruppenstudien steht in der Mehrzahl der Fälle noch aus. Als erste positive Befunde sind diese Ergebnisse jedoch eine wichtige Grundlage für weitere Studien und damit zur Evidenzbasierung der Kunsttherapie in der Palliativversorgung.
