Changes In Emotional State Research Articles

Acute Impact of the Coronavirus Disease Outbreak on Behavioral Patterns and Emotional States of Pediatric Psychiatric Patients and Caregivers in Daegu, South Korea.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the changes in interpersonal relationships, behavioral patterns, and emotional states of children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders and their caregivers immediately after the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Daegu, South Korea. MethodsA total of 147 patients and 147 caregivers participated in the Survey for Outing and Time Usage for Child, Adolescent, and Parents and the COVID-19 Visual Analog Scale for Emotion. We classified the patients and their caregivers into the internalizing disorder (ID) and externalizing disorder (ED) groups and compared the changes. ResultsParent–child relationships for adolescent patients and caregivers were interrupted, and friend relationships in all participants were disrupted, while sibling relationships improved in adolescent patients. They experienced negative emotional changes. Time spent outdoor decreased and digital screen time increased for all participants. Friend and parent–child relationships were interrupted in the ED group compared to those in the ID group. ED patients experienced negative changes in emotional states, while ID patients showed no significant changes. ConclusionResults are meaningful as a reference for predicting changes in interpersonal relationships and mental status of pediatric psychiatric patients and for determining healthcare system adaptations to allow mental health support during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Psychological Education and Emotional Model Establishment Analysis Based on Artificial Intelligence in the Intelligent Environment

Emotion plays an important role in our daily life. It affects people's study and life in varying degrees. This study mainly discusses the psychological education and emotional model building based on artificial intelligence in intelligent environment. In this study, hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to recognize facial expression and describe the output probability of emotional state change. In the aspect of emotion feature extraction, acceleration sensor is used to judge the user's activity state, and optical sensor data and GPS data are used to collect environmental data. In order to reflect individual emotion and its intensity, emotion space method can be used to deal with the reflected emotion vector effectively. Because FACS system is too complex, this model simplifies it. The emotion reflected from emotion space corresponds to a series of AU parameters, which constitute the corresponding facial expression. The strength of these parameters is determined by the size of the emotion vector module. Finally, a sound processing module is added in front of the emotion parameter extraction module of the emotion model for better emotional interaction. In emotion recognition test, the accuracy rate of sensor data based on basic emotion model was 47.13%, 49.08% and 56.32%, respectively. The results show that the model attempts to achieve multi character expression by modifying the emotional space, and achieves the goal of multi modality of the model, which provides the possibility for personalized customization of emotional model in the future.

An eye tracking study: positive emotional interface design facilitates learning outcomes in multimedia learning?

Unlike the other studies on emotional design in multimedia learning, the present study differentiated the two confounding variables of visual interface design and structured content to manipulate the instructional material. Specifically, we investigated how the visual aesthetics of positive emotional interface design influenced learners’ cognitive processes, emotional valences, learning outcomes, and subjective experience. Eighty-one college students took part in the experimental study. They were divided into the three experimental groups: a holistic layout of positive emotional design group (HPED), a local layout of positive emotional design group (LPED), and a neutral emotional design group (ND). By using a mixed approach of questionnaires and eye tracking, we further explored the differences among the three groups in cognitive processing, learning outcomes, and subjective experience. Results indicated that the LPED group invested higher cognitive effort, put more attentional focus in the relevant knowledge content module, and achieved better learning performance (i.e., retention and transfer tests) in contrast to the HPED group and the ND group. However, no significant difference in dynamic changes of emotional state among the three groups was detected. The analytical results can provide researchers and practitioners with valuable insights into the positive emotional design of multimedia learning, which allows for the facilitation of mental engagement, learning outcomes and subjective perception.

Influence of Body Mass Index on Eating Habits and Food Choice Determinants Among Brazilian Women During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Changes in emotional state due to the COVID-19 pandemic may potentially modify eating habits, which may differ as a function of body mass index (BMI). Using a self-reported, questionnaire-based survey we evaluated Brazilian women during the pandemic for: (i) the influence of BMI on changes in eating habits, food choice determinants, and psychological symptoms; (ii) associations between eating habits, food choice determinants and psychological symptoms. General characteristics, anthropometric data, eating habits before and during the pandemic, food choice determinants and psychological symptoms during the pandemic were collected between June and September, 2020. Participants (n = 1,183) were normal weight (60.4%), overweight (26.2%) and obese (13.4%). A higher frequency of “cooking” (72.3–77.6%, p = 0.004) and “use of delivery service” (29.8–48.8%, p < 0.001) was reported during, in comparison to before the pandemic. Additionally, a higher prevalence of “snacking” (57.1–63.8%, p = 0.005) and “eating at table” (78.5–82.7%, p < 0.001) was reported during the pandemic, while the number of participants reporting “dieting” decreased (28.7–20.4%, p < 0.001). “Health”, “natural concerns” and “need and hunger” were less important determinants for participants with overweight/obesity compared to normal weight. Regression analysis indicated that (i) “health”, “natural concerns” and “affect regulation”; (ii) “health”, “pleasure”, “convenience”, and “natural concerns”; and (iii) “visual appeal” and “pleasure” were the food choice determinants more associated with eating habits among women with normal weight, overweight, and obesity, respectively. In conclusion, eating habits were modified during the pandemic despite BMI, whereas food choice determinants differed between overweight/obesity and normal weight women.

Subsurface Confinement: Evidence from Submariners of the Benefits of Mindfulness.

ObjectivesThe subsurface ballistic missile nuclear submarine (SSBN) is an extreme professional environment in which personnel are both isolated and confined during patrols, which can last longer than 2 months. This environment is known to degrade submariners’ mood and cognition.MethodsThis exploratory, empirical study followed a cohort of 24 volunteer submariners. Dispositional mindfulness was assessed with the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory, in order to identify two groups (mindful and non-mindful) and compare change in emotional state, interoception, and health behaviors during the patrol.ResultsOverall, psychological health deteriorated during the patrol. However, mindful submariners demonstrated better psychological adaptation and interoception than the non-mindful group. This was associated with better subjective health behaviors (sleeping and eating).ConclusionsDispositional mindfulness appears to protect against the negative effects of long-term containment in a professional environment, such as a submarine patrol. Our work highlights that mindfulness may help individuals to cope with stress in such situations. Developing mindfulness could also be an important preventive healthcare measure during quarantine imposed by the outbreak of a serious infectious disease.

STUDY OF THE FEATURES OF THE EMOTIONAL STATE OF ELDERLY WOMEN WITH ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE

The article highlights the results of an empirical study of the psychological components of the emotional state of elderly women with coronary heart disease (CHD), which covered 135 respondents aged 65 to 75 years with coronary heart disease. The aim of the study was to study the psychological components of emotional states of elderly women that can affect the manifestations and course of coronary heart disease, in particular, alexithymia, anxiety, depression, asthenia. It was found that the components of psycho-emotional states of patients with coronary heart disease consist of a set of psychophysiological factors, including: the specifics of emotionally negative states such as anxiety, depression, asthenia, hostility, etc., and the features of the somatic state, themselves manifestations of coronary heart disease and their concomitant changes in the psycho-emotional sphere, in particular the specifics of the traumatic situation for the patient and her personal characteristics. An empirical study found that elderly women with coronary heart disease are characterized by high levels of anxiety, depression, asthenia, mental stress, irritability, suspicion, resentment, neuroticism, secrecy, emotional lability. It is empirically proven that depending on the gender of an individual with coronary heart disease, the psychological components of emotional states differ significantly. It has been studied that women with coronary heart disease have a high level of lability and unstable emotional state. It is established that the emotional state changes rapidly depending on the factors of external and internal stimuli. A labile emotional state is a sign of danger in a person's psychological state, so it can be critical for women with coronary heart disease. Due to the qualitative processing of the obtained results, we found that in the three formed samples - CG, ECG and ECG, the results of the study differed significantly. In the experimental group of men there are no such psycho-emotional phenomena as negativism, irritation, suspicion, resentment and guilt; neuroticism. The results of the control group revealed a high percentage of women at risk. In the experimental group of women, which is the main goal of our study, the outlined phenomena had the highest rate. A number of emotions that contribute to coronary heart disease were identified: dissatisfaction with work, education, life in general; experiencing creative failures, defeats in ambitious desires; insult; frustration caused by the sharp destruction of the usual stereotype of life; constant feeling of inner tension; lack of satisfaction in achieving success; fear; chronic anxiety. From this list of feelings it is clear that they all belong to the register of negative feelings, those that create emotional discomfort. All these feelings are antipodes of feelings that are traditionally considered attributes of a healthy heart, such as: love, courage, courage, joy. The above conditions are special for people with coronary heart disease and have significant differences between male and female groups, and therefore they can be considered as psychophysiological features of elderly women with coronary heart disease. Prospects for further research may be the feasibility of creating a comprehensive program of psychocorrection of emotional states of elderly women with coronary heart disease.

Fuzzy Affective Player Models: A Physiology-Based Hierarchical Clustering Method

Current approaches to game design improvements rely on time-consuming gameplay testing processes, which rely on highly subjective feedback from a target audience. In this paper, we propose a generalizable approach for building predictive models of players’ emotional reactions across different games and game genres, as well as other forms of digital stimuli. Our input agnostic approach relies on the following steps: (a) collecting players' physiologically-inferred emotional states during actual gameplay sessions, (b) extrapolating the causal relations between changes in players' emotional states and recorded game events, and (c) building hierarchical cluster models of players' emotional reactions that can later be used to infer individual player models via fuzzy cluster membership vectors. We expect this work to benefit game designers by accelerating the affective play-testing process through the offline simulation of players' reactions to game design adaptations, as well as to contribute towards individually-tailored affective gaming.

Factors affecting tolerance persistence after grooming interactions in wild female vervet monkeys, Chlorocebus pygerythrus

Grooming is the most common cooperative behaviour in primates. It has helped advance our understanding of how animals achieve reciprocal cooperation without using precise counting strategies. For example, attitudinal reciprocity refers to recipients making short-term adjustments like reciprocated grooming or tolerance at food sources based on a change in emotional states. Here, we used an experimental set-up to investigate in unprecedented detail the building blocks of attitudinal reciprocity that govern wild dominant females' tolerance around food after a grooming interaction with a subordinate female partner in vervet monkeys. We measured the tolerance of dominant females towards the previous grooming partner within 4 h after a grooming interaction. Tolerance levels remained elevated compared to baseline for the entire period, decreasing with time and predicted to fall to baseline levels after approximately 6 h. The decline in tolerance was not affected by the relationship quality between females, further grooming received from other group members or the surplus grooming that the dominant received relative to what she gave. However, the duration of grooming by the subordinate influenced the dominant's tolerance positively. These results suggest that the temporal dynamics of tolerance are best described as grooming triggering the start of a partner-specific ‘hourglass’, where the amount of remaining ‘sand’ equates to the dominant's current tolerance level above baseline. The results challenge the notion that dominants use scorekeeping regarding their grooming debts towards subordinates to make decisions about reciprocating with tolerance.

Initial experience of balance assessment introduces 'first trial' effects on emotional state and postural control.

Anxiety and arousal have been shown to influence balance control and, therefore, have the potential to confound balance assessment. It has been suggested that the 'first-trial' effect, where performance on the first trial of a balance task differs from subsequent trials, may be a result of participants being more anxious during their first experience of having their balance assessed. However, this remains speculative since limited work has simultaneously examined emotional state and balance control during repeated assessment of the same balance task. Determine how emotional state and standing balance control change over the course of repeated assessment. Seventy-five healthy young adults completed five 120-s quiet standing trials. Psychological state was probed at each trial using self-report measures that assessed confidence, anxiety, and attention focus. Arousal was estimated from electrodermal activity and balance control was assessed from centre of pressure (COP) measures derived from forceplate data. Repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted to determine how each of these estimates changed with repeated testing. There were significant changes in emotional state with repeated testing; self-report and autonomic measures indicated that participants were most anxious and physiologically aroused during the first trial. This emotional response diminished with repeated testing, although the greatest changes occurred from the first to second trial. Despite these changes in emotional state, only some COP outcomes significantly changed. Individuals leaned further forward during only the first trial and demonstrated higher frequency and velocity mediolateral COP oscillations during the first two trials. When balance is assessed for the first time in an unfamiliar laboratory setting, there is a transient emotional response which appears sufficient to influence some aspects of balance control. It is critical to control for these confounds when designing experiments or interventions involving balance assessment.

Tracking conflict and emotions with a computational qualitative discourse analytic support approach.

Accurate inferences of the emotional state of conversation participants can be critical in shaping analysis and interpretation of conversational exchanges. In qualitative analyses of discourse, most labelling of the perceived emotional state of conversation participants is performed by hand, and is limited to selected moments where an analyst may believe that emotional information is valuable for interpretation. This reliance on manual labelling processes can have implications for repeatability and objectivity, both in terms of accuracy, but also in terms of changes in emotional state that might go unnoticed. In this paper we introduce a qualitative discourse analytic support method intended to support the labelling of emotional state of conversational participants over time. We demonstrate the utility of the technique using a suite of well-studied broadcast interviews, taking a particular focus on identifying instances of inter-speaker conflict. Our findings indicate that this two-step machine learning approach can help decode how moments of conflict arise, sustain, and are resolved through the mapping of emotion over time. We show how such a method can provide useful evidence of the change in emotional state by interlocutors which could be useful to prompt and support further in-depth study.

Effects of the Gratitude Letter and Positive Attention Bias Modification on Attentional Deployment and Emotional States

Much research testing positive psychological interventions (PPIs) has focused primarily on emotional states, while research testing the effects of positive attention bias modification (PABM) has tended to focus primarily on attentional deployment. Evidence is sparse and inconsistent on attentional deployment (i.e., a process of emotion regulation) in PPIs, changes in emotional states (i.e., an outcome of emotion regulation) in PABM programs, and the combined effects of the two types of interventions on attentional deployment and emotional states. In the current study, we found that the gratitude letter increased positive affect immediately after completion and the PABM biased attention immediately after completion; however, the effects of the gratitude letter on affect were only maintained throughout the study when paired together with the PABM program. Further, we found evidence that the gratitude letter and the gratitude letter with the PABM program increases initial viewing away and late viewing towards emotional stimuli. Thus, the gratitude letter may produce positive effects on affect by increasing the salience of emotional stimuli, potentially helping individuals notice positive sitmuli in their enviroment to maintain their mood and negative stimuli in their enviornment to reduce emotional avoidance. The results suggest that combining the gratitude letter with a PABM program can produce strong effects on both attentional deployment and emotional states. We discuss the implications for clinical practice and future research.

Time-Resolved Brain-to-Heart Probabilistic Information Transfer Estimation Using Inhomogeneous Point-Process Models.

The quantification of functional brain-heart interplay through the dynamics of the central and autonomic nervous systems may provide effective biomarkers for cognitive, emotional, and autonomic state changes. Despite several computational models were proposed to this end, none provides a directional estimation of such interplay in a time-resolved and probabilistic fashion. In this study, a multivariate inhomogeneous point-process model for heartbeat dynamics is employed to derive subject-specific, time-resolved, functional estimates of the directional interplay occurring from the brain to the heart, whose activity is represented by electroencephalography and R-peaks intervals series. An inverse-Gaussian probability density function is used to predict heartbeat events as a function of neural dynamics, which is modeled as an exogenous input to the autoregressive cardiac dynamics. The performance is evaluated using heart rate variability and electroencephalography series gathered from 24 healthy volunteers undergoing a cold-pressor test, and the modeling goodness-of-fit is assessed through the time-rescaling theorem. The results suggest that cortical dynamics drives heartbeat series with specific time delays in the range of 30s to 60s and 90s to 120s from the peripheral thermal stress onset. The proposed framework provides novel insights in human neurophysiology, exploiting a fully probabilistic definition of the continuous functional brain-heart interplay.

The role of affect, satisfaction and internal drive on personal moral norms during COVID-19.

Background and ObjectiveSocieties require prosocial activities during crises. The COVID‐19 pandemic presents individuals with unique challenges that may affect their emotional state leading to reformed personal moral norms. Crucially, personal moral norms are important predictors of moral behaviour. Given the longevity of the pandemic, studying its impact on affect, satisfaction and internal drive of (non‐)donors during COVID‐19 and if personal moral norms are affected is paramount.Material and MethodsThis study relies on longitudinal data, consisting of six waves carried out biweekly. Our panel is representative for the German population, capturing changes in affect, satisfaction, internal drive and personal moral norms. We compare the emotional state and personal moral norms of (non‐)donors in the pandemic to pre‐pandemic phase. Moreover, we analyse changes in emotional state and personal moral norms during the pandemic and investigate the role of emotional state on personal moral norms.ResultsFirstly, our results show that personal moral norms of (non‐)donors drop compared to pre‐pandemic. Within pandemic, personal moral norms of active donors are not further altered. Secondly, we find significant changes of emotional state in the pandemic compared to pre‐pandemic phase, for example individuals feel more optimistic, but less satisfied and less energetic. Thirdly, we find that feeling more grateful increases personal moral norms of non‐donors.ConclusionThis study provides insights into how crises shape (non‐)donors’ emotional state and its impact on relevant donor motivations, that is, personal moral norms. Blood banks can use this knowledge to enhance recruiting and retention efforts during crises.

Social Isolation in Times of COVID-19: Effects on Adolescents' Mental Health

Introduction: The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus forced the adoption of several measures for individual and collective protection measures, including isolation, which interrupted direct social contact and started to draw the attention of researchers due to its potential risk of damage to people’s mental health, notably for the most sensitive groups, such as adolescents.&#x0D; Aim: This article presents some emotional repercussions observed in groups of adolescents, after six months of social isolation.&#x0D; Methodology: Literature retrieved through Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, and Cochrane Library databases related to the mental health of adolescents during the period of social isolation determined by the coronavirus pandemic, published between January and July 2020.&#x0D; Results: The studies have found manifestations ranging from mild symptoms, such as boredom, inattention, agitation, irritability, fatigue and excessive worries to those of greater magnitude, such as worsening cognitive performance, exaggerated fear and varying degrees of anxiety and depression&#x0D; Conclusion: The data allow us to state that social isolation has immediate effects and probably also in the medium and long term, on the behavior and emotional health of adolescents. Both healthy teenagers and those who already have a change in the pre-existing emotional state must be carefully observed and supported during the most critical moments of this global crisis.

Recurrent Quantification Analysis-Based Emotion Classification in Stroke Using Electroencephalogram Signals

Stroke is a cerebrovascular disorder, and one of the most common effects of stroke is emotional disturbances. This present work classifies six emotions (anger, sadness, happiness, fear, disgust, and surprise) of two types of stroke (left brain damage and right brain-damage) using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. EEG signals are collected from 19 each subject of LBD, RBD, and normal control (NC) at a sampling rate of 128 Hz. The IIR Bandpass filter and amplitude thresholding methods are used to reduce noise and artifacts' effects, respectively. Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform is used to extract five EEG frequency bands (alpha, beta, gamma, alpha to gamma, and beta to gamma). A set of nonlinear features are extracted from five different EEG frequency ranges using recurrent quantification analysis. Finally, the extracted features are mapped to six corresponding emotions using three nonlinear classifiers (K nearest neighbor, probabilistic neural network, and random forest). The experimental results indicate that LBD subjects have severe emotional impairment than RBD. The mean of diagonal line length ( ), recurrence rate, and maximum mean diagonal length (Lmax) feature give maximum classification rate of 85.24% NC, 79.54%, and 79.09% using RF classifier compared to other features. The alpha to gamma (13–49 Hz) band helps identify Stroke emotional state changes compared to other frequency bands.

Move and Be Moved: The Effect of Moving Specific Movement Elements on the Experience of Happiness.

Dynamic body feedback is used in dance movement therapy (DMT), with the aim to facilitate emotional expression and a change of emotional state through movement and dance for individuals with psychosocial or psychiatric complaints. It has been demonstrated that moving in a specific way can evoke and regulate related emotions. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of executing a unique set of kinetic movement elements on an individual mover’s experience of happiness. A specific sequence consisting of movement elements that recent studies have related to the feeling of happiness was created and used in a series of conditions. To achieve a more realistic reflection of DMT practice, the study incorporated the interpersonal dimension between the dance movement therapist (DMTh) and the client, and the impact of this interbodily feedback on the emotional state of the client. This quantitative study was conducted in a within-subject design. Five male and 20 female participants (mean age = 20.72) participated in three conditions: a solo executed movement sequence, a movement sequence executed with a DMTh who attuned and mirrored the movements, and a solo executed movement sequence not associated with feelings of happiness. Participants were only informed about the movements and not the feelings that may be provoked by these movements. The effects on individuals were measured using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule and visual analog scales. Results showed that a specific movement sequence based on movement elements associated with happiness executed with a DMTh can significantly enhance the corresponding affective state. An additional finding of this study indicated that facilitating expressed emotion through movement elements that are not associated with happiness can enhance feelings such as empowerment, pride, and determination, which are experienced as part of positive affect. The results show the impact of specific full-body movement elements on the emotional state and the support outcome of DMT on emotion regulation.

Overcoming psychological barriers in discourse interaction in the era of information

The article deals with the types of communicative competence in different types of discourse. Communicative competence refers to the ability to predict a communicative situation in a specific area of communication which becomes important in the era of information, to manage the process of communication in a certain situational environment. Levels of language personality formation are distinguished. The concept of a psychological barrier arising in the process of communication is given. Psychological barrier refers to a condition that impedes full development and manifestation of a personality. Multilevel character of communicative competence is shown, levels of its formation are distinguished; such types as lexical, textual and discourse competence are considered. As a person enters discourse space and develops communicative competence, his emotional state changes – from negative or neutral emotions to positive emotions. The question is raised about the possibility of communicative failures caused by communication barriers arising during communication. Types of communicative barriers, their characteristics and ways to overcome them are considered; besides, barriers related to insufficient proficiency in a particular level of language (phonetic, lexical, stylistic) are considered. Among the reasons for communicative barriers are: features of communicants’ intelligence; difference in interpreting concepts; difference in vocabulary; misunderstanding of communicative situation; psychological characteristics of partners; social, political, professional, religious differences.Many of these barriers appear in modern society which overcomes specific changes in the era of information. Significance of psychological factor as well as level of formation of emotional competence to overcome emerging communicative barriers is shown.

The method of real-time acoustic measurement of dynamical changes in the speaker’s emotional state

In this paper we consider the issues in implementations of interactive voice response systems with remote access. Their efficiency can be improved by automatically analyzing changes in the user's emotional state during the dialogue. In order to measure the indicator of the dynamics of the emotional statein real time, it is proposed to use the effect of sound (phonetic) variability of the user's speech at short intervals (fractions of a minute). The novel method of acoustic measurements in conditions of small samples has been developed based on information-theoretic approach by using a scale-invariant gain-optimized dissimilarity measure of the speech signals in the frequency domain. An example of its practical implementation in soft real time is considered. It is shown that the delay in obtaining the measurement results does not exceed in this case 10–20 sec. The experimental results confirmed the high speed of the proposed method and its sensitivity to changes in the emotional state under the influence of external noise. The proposed method can be used for automated quality control of voice samples of users in unified biometric systems, as well as to improve safety by non-contact identification of potentially dangerous persons with short-term psycho-emotional disorders.

Генологічні моделі оповіді в поезіях у прозі Поля Верлена

The aim of the article is to study the specific features of the narration in Paul Verlaine’s prose poems. Historical and genetic origins of prose poems were analyzed. We observed that poems in prose became extremely popular at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries, meeting the demands of modernism regarding the change of the aesthetic canons through the renewal of artistic systems and types of narration. The prose poems sketches are characteristic of subtlety in reproducing the personal experience, in subtle play of the colours and chiaroscuro which create impressions, moods and association. The exterior details, landscapes, nature become the means of conveying ambivalent emotional process. The research describes, analyzes and generalizes the narrative models of the prose poems by Paul Verlaine, on the material of his “Mémoires d’un veuf” (“The Memoirs by a Widower”). Research methodology is based on integrated use of systematic, philosophical aesthetic approaches; cultural-historical, contextual, biographic methods; theoretical studies carried out with narrative typologies and methodological analysis of the main narrative strategies as important components of the artistic storytelling in the text. We define narration as the system of principles of constitution of the text at the deep level of its formation in complete agreement with the nature of the narration featuring the following components: specific traits of the organization of the chain of episodes; way of presentation of the writer’s theme; presentation order of events; focalization as a condition node, that affects the perception and reproduction of events; presentation type of statements and opinions of characters in the text. The basis of the model division of narration types in prose poems is the syncretic nature of the genre, which involves interpenetration of epic and lyrical principles, «superimposement» of some modifications. Depending on the dominance of certain genealogical elements and stylistic dominating idea of the work, the contexture of the narration is prevailed by epic-realistic or lyrical-impressionistic components. It has been found that according to the plot-compositional structure, the works of the epic-realistic block are divided into two categories: the first category has the dominance of the linear principle, the second – of the fragmentary construction principle with the strengthening of aestheticization and intellectualization. The works of the lyrical-impressionistic model contain an internal psychologized plot, attention to feelings and changes in emotional state, stylistic syncretism, an appeal to «eternal themes». The position of the lyrical hero, personal authorial experience, is closely connected with lyrical semantics.
