“…Los valores negativos en esta puntuación total son sinónimos de un estado de ánimo positivo. La versión reducida del POMS presenta una fiabilidad test-retest aceptable, con unos valores alfa de Cronbach entre 0.80 y 0.95 (Lin, Hsiao, y Wang, 2014). …”

“…Respondents rated each item as to how they felt over the past week, on a 5-point scale with 0 for 'not at all' and 4 for 'extremely.' POMS 2 is an evidence-based assessment, with established reliability and validity that measures transient mood states such as tension, anxiety, depression, dejection, anger, activity, and confusion (Heuchert & McNair, 2014).…”

College students are at risk for adverse mental and physical health. Physical activity (PA) can reduce risks and promote positive mental health; however, less than half (49.9%) of college students meet the American College of Sports Medicine (2017) recommendations for PA. The purpose of this study was to implement and evaluate an evidence-based PA program (#ubwell) designed in collaboration with university counseling services to enhance mood states and promote continued PA in college students. The program was held for 5 weeks. Students (n = 21) completed pre and post measures of perceived health, PA participation, intrinsic motivation, and mood states, and a post program evaluation. Additionally, participants recorded Feeling Scale and Felt Arousal Scale ratings before, during (mid-way) and after each weekly PA session.Results showed intrinsic motivation significantly increased from pre to post (p = .02).Participants experienced increases in positive feelings and energy levels across all PA sessions. However, pre and post measures of perceived health, PA participation, and mood states did not differ. Confounding factors such as participant illness, campus mourning (i.e., deaths of two students the week before), and mid-term/final exams may have influenced results. Possibly, PA provided a coping strategy during those stressful times that maintained mood and PA participation levels. Additional research with larger samples and longer programs may provide greater insight into the benefits of PA programs for mental health and wellness. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project is the result of the unwavering support from my family, friends, colleagues, and mentors. I would like to dedicate this work in memory of my father, Robert Wingfield, and my uncle, Bobby Meadows. Their U.S. Army (father) and public education (uncle) service were beacons of dedication, pride, and motivation that inspires me to this day. I also dedicate this to my mother, Margie Wingfield, whose strength, determination, perseverance and love inspire and motivate me. To my sister, Terri Tominich, I am proud of you, I love you, and I appreciate all the support you give me. To my loving, supportive husband, Eric Powell, your patience and gentle nudges were instrumental in keeping me on this path. I love you with all my heart and thank you for

Physiological effects of visual stimulation with full-scale wall images composed of vertically and horizontally arranged wooden elements

2019

Wood is a raw material that is used not only in the production of structural members for various buildings, but also in the interior finishes that are directly seen and touched by the occupants. Wood has also been recognized as a humanfriendly material, but few studies have experimentally confirmed the physiological benefits it brings to humans. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the physiological effects of visual stimulation with wood. Two types of full-scale square, wooden-wall images composed of vertically or horizontally arranged lumber, were prepared using computer graphics and projected onto a large display to create the visual stimuli, and a gray image was also prepared as a control. Twenty-eight female Japanese university students participated in the study. The participants initially spent 60 s viewing the gray background (rest period) and then observed each of the wooden-wall images and the gray image separately in a random order for 90 s each. During the visual stimulation, the oxyhemoglobin (oxy-Hb) concentration as an indicator of prefrontal brain activity and heart rate variability as an indicator of autonomic nervous activity were continuously measured in each participant. Subjective evaluation of each visual stimulus was then performed using a modified semantic differential method and the Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition test. It was found that visual stimulation with either of the wooden interior wall images induced a significant decrease in oxy-Hb concentration in the left and right prefrontal cortex compared with the gray image. Furthermore, the subjective evaluation showed that the wooden-wall images provided a significantly more "comfortable, " "relaxed, " and "natural" impression than the gray image and decreased the negative mood states, with the vertically arranged wooden-wall image having a more positive effect than the horizontally arranged image.
