Особенности проявлений высших психических функций у актеров в виртуальной реальности

Background. The study of the professional activities of actors from the standpoint of modern psychological theories is an urgent task for psychology of art. In particular, the question of whether there is a significant difference in the functioning of cognitive processes in actors as a result of training in acting techniques is considered. The answer can be revealed not only by classical measurements of the development of higher mental functions using standardized methods, but also, to a large extent, by the assessment of cognitive abilities in special conditions of virtual reality. Objectives. The study is aimed at measuring success parameters for actors performing tasks to assess the level of cognitive functioning in virtual reality in comparison with a group of students who are not actors. Methods. During the experiment, the control (students who are not actors) and experimental (novice actors) groups were asked to complete tasks to assess the level of cognitive functioning in two-dimensional and virtual reality formats. In order to do this, the experiment participants first performed two-dimensional tests to assess visual attention and working memory, and then did tasks to assess attention and memory in the HTC Vive Pro virtual reality helmet in a special virtual environment “Upgrade VR”. Sample. Two groups of subjects took part in the experiment. The experimental group consisted of 10 students of the O. Tabakov School (average age 17 years). The control group included 20 subjects (18 women, 2 men, average age 18 years) — students of the Faculty of Psychology at Lomonosov Moscow State University. Results. Comparing the performance of actors before and after immersion in virtual reality on two-dimensional computerized task assessing working memory, no significant differences were found (t = –1.35, df = 9, p = 0.209). Also, no significant differences were found when comparing the results of actors performing tasks to assess attention parameters (t = –0.070, df = 9, p = 0.946). When comparing the results of actors and students in performing tasks in virtual reality, significant differences were revealed in the success of completing a spatial orientation task (t = –4.44, df = 28, p < 0.001) and a task assessing working memory (t = –2.34, df = 28, p = 0.027). In addition, significant differences were identified in the average success rates in completing two-dimensional tasks between actors and students before immersion in VR according to the results of the N-back technique (t = 2.4, df = 28, p < 0.023) and the SART technique (t = –3.95, df = 28, p < 0.001). Conclusions. The study revealed differences in parameters of cognitive functioning between actors and students, especially noticeable when performing tasks in virtual reality related to spatial orientation and working memory. The use of virtual reality allows you to simulate a stage situation and create training conditions for the development of cognitive skills, reactions to unexpected events and emotional expression of actors. The results of the study showed that the use of digital technologies in art opens up new opportunities for the creative process and for the construction of unique artistic images.

The Interpretation and Enlightenment of Wang Chuanshan's Partyaksa Theory on the Time and Space Expression of Contemporary Calligraphy

As the epitome of Chinese classical aesthetics, Wang Chuanshan's "present quantity theory" brings aesthetic experience based on the whole of time and space to the field of poetics in the form of materialistic reflection theory. As far as Chinese traditional art is concerned, poetry and calligraphy have the aesthetic characteristics of literariness and integration of time and space; As far as the current calligraphists are concerned, due to the transformation of their living conditions, they have lost the natural time and space of their writing experience, and thus have been separated from the innate character of calligraphy. The article expects to make a new interpretation and inspiration for the aesthetic psychology of contemporary calligraphy in time and space with Partyaksa, so as to restore the independence and freedom of contemporary calligraphy art.

Is Aesthetic Good? A Study on the Aesthetic and Vitality Judgment of Pictorial Representations of the Dead, Saints and Non-Saints.

In the history of the Western world, there has always been an association between good and beautiful. Starting from a brief history of beauty, two questions arise: is beauty linked to good even in art? How important are people's religious beliefs in aesthetic and vitality judgments? The psychology of art could answer these questions by studying people's reactions to the images of Saints as testimonials of goodness. Moreover, the study of Saints' paintings would allow us to investigate vitality, understood as one's perception of a living being. The research aimed to investigate the aesthetic and vitality judgments of faces representing the dead, Saints and non-Saints. More than a hundred participants were asked to evaluate the aesthetics and vitality of these paintings; moreover, two tests assessing spirituality and religiosity were administered. Overall, these data suggest Saints were judged more beautiful than non-Saints, and non-Saints were judged more vital than Saints. This might suggest a relationship between ethics and aesthetics, also in the perception of art, and offers reflections on the theme of vitality. The religion and spirituality of participants are not correlated to aesthetic or vitality judgments; this fact could support that these judgments are linked to the basic bottom-up reactions to images.

Workplace Aesthetic Appreciation and Exhaustion in a COVID-19 Vaccination Center: The Role of Positive Affects and Interest in Art.

Recently, workers employed in vaccination points around the world have been subjected to very high workloads to counter the progress of the COVID-19 epidemic. This workload has a negative effect on their well-being. Environmental psychology studies have shown how the physical characteristics of the workplace environment can influence employees' well-being. Furthermore, studies in the psychology of art show how art can improve the health of individuals. The aim of this research was to test a moderated mediation model to verify how appreciation of workplace aesthetics can impact the level of exhaustion of staff working in a vaccination center, the mediating role of positive and negative affects, and the moderating role of interest in art. Data were collected from a sample of 274 workers (physicians, nurses, reception, and administrative staff) working in the same vaccination center in Italy. Participants answered a self-report questionnaire during a rest break. We used a cross-sectional design. The results show that appreciation of workplace aesthetics impacts employees' level of exhaustion. This relationship is mediated by positive and negative affects, and interest in art moderates the relationship between positive affects and exhaustion. These findings indicate the central role of workplace aesthetics in influencing healthcare workers' well-being, and how interest in art can reduce exhaustion levels. Practical implications of the results are discussed.

Игнатий Лойола и Константин Станиславский в интерпретации Сергея Эйзенштейна: от мистического экстаза до монтажа

The article examines the point of Soviet art's 1920-1930 influence on secular processes in society. The model of the psychology of art proposed by L. Vygotsky, based on Marxist dogmatics, becomes the starting point for the search of creative elite, particularly, for the film director and art theorist Sergei Eisenstein. They are brought together by a common understanding of art as a sign system aimed at awakening strong emotional disturbances in a person, the culmination of which is by Eisenstein's opinion ecstasy, from Vygotsky's point of view - catharsis. Scientists of the Vygotsky's circle, which also includes Eisenstein, study the phenomena of expanded consciousness, looking for ways to influence an individual, including through the practices of art. The article focuses on Eisenstein's interest in the topic of mystical ecstasy. In his article “Stanislavsky and Loyola”(1937), considered in detail, there's set a parallel between the spiritual practices of medieval ascetics and acting exercises according to the system of K. Stanislavsky. Eisenstein introduces the experience of ecstatic practices, drawn from the exercises of Ignatius Loyola, into the Dionysian art renewed by the revolution. In particular, using the method of editing as a psychotechnics, S. Eisenstein effects the mind of a viewer, inspiring him with utopian ideas of social justice, dating back to classical Marxism.. Avant - garde practices of Soviet art 20-30 years of the 20th century, embodied by S. Eisenstein in cinema, are interpreted according to the tradition of J. Wach – P. Tillich, respectively, as pseudo- and quasi-religious, as well as in the context of the theory of "atheistic fideism" in the mode of building an "atheistic church" as part of the secularization process. Special attention is paid to the synthesis of science and art. A version is put forward about the implicit nature and secular implications of this large-scale phenomenon, expressed in the transfer of native religious functions to related areas. For the first time in historiography, S. Eisenstein is considered in his quasi-religious persona.

The design of the Moon Center based on the female perspective

With the opening of China's three child policy and the continuous development of social economy, China's industrial structure has changed constantly. As a new economic growth point, the maternity and infant industry has become a hot industry in recent years. New service industries such as Moon Sister and Moon Center have developed rapidly. The scientific and comfortable modern moon center is increasingly favored by young women. It is undeniable that the emergence of maternity care institutions has timely met the needs of women for puerperal care today. However, there are always many imperfections in the development of emerging industries at the time of their inception, and the Moon Club entered the mainland market late and is in the initial stage of industrial development. From the actual situation of the few existing Moon Centers, it only meets the immediate needs and hasty response, and fails to fundamentally improve and enhance the reasonable, humanized, scientific planning, design and research of Moon Centers. The space function and design style are not mature enough, and there is no deep concept to support it. It is a superficial form, so women's demand for the existing indoor space of postpartum care center has not been met. Therefore, the interior design of postpartum care center must start to change the original design thinking, no longer simply pursue the excessive exaggeration and blandness in style and decoration, but should design a warm and comfortable interior space that conforms to the consumption psychology and aesthetic psychology of newborn mothers based on emotional needs, especially for the functional care of related nursing spaces and its feasible humanized and emotional design.

Мальбрук в поход собрался (или экскурс психосемантики в языкознание)

The article is intended to familiarize linguists with the insights and practices of Russian psychology related to the issues of meaning and language. Psychology has not yet become a fundamental science integrating general theoretical knowledge [Wilber 2016]; it represents rather disparate fields of study (personality psychology, social psychology, neuropsychology, consulting psychology, psychotherapy, psychological group training, developmental psychology, organizational psychology, psychology of art, family psychology, sports psychology, etc.) and rather heterogeneous schools, differing in methods and reasoning (psychoanalysis, behaviorism, gestalt psychology, cognitive psychology, activity theory, humanistic and transpersonal psychology, etc.). Psycholinguists (e.g., A.A. Leontiev, I.A. Zimnya, E.F. Tarasov, T.N. Ushakova) studies, above all, generation of a speech statement and communication problems, whereas the works in the field of psychosemantics are focused on studying consciousness and the unconscious, as well as contents of social mentality. The emphasis of this article is primarily placed on the psychosemantic approach in psychology.

Psychological healing function of poetry appreciation based on educational psychology and aesthetic analysis.

With the development of society, the rapidly developing social environment has played a significant role in the particular group of college students. College students will inevitably suffer setbacks and psychological obstacles in their studies and daily life. This work aims to ameliorate college students’ various mental illnesses caused by anxiety and confusion during the critical period of status transformation. Educational psychology theory, aesthetic theory, and poetry appreciation are applied to the mental health education of college students to obtain a satisfying psychological healing effect. First, this work summarizes the connotation and characteristics of college student’s mental health and defines educational psychology. Secondly, the long tradition of Chinese poetry teaching is introduced. Besides, the theoretical basis of poetry therapy and aesthetic psychology is expounded, and foreign poetry is discussed. In addition, poetry appreciation is used to promote personality shaping and psychological healing of college students based on the theory of educational psychology and poetry appreciation psychotherapy. In addition, mental health education for college students is studied from the perspectives of psychological health, mental health education, college students’ mental health education, and appreciation of ancient poetry. In addition, the principle and significance of college students’ mental health education are discussed from the perspective of poetry appreciation. Finally, an experimental study is conducted on college students and patients in a specific hospital department by issuing questionnaires to verify the practical application effect of this method in psychotherapy. The survey results indicate that the scores of college students who have completed a one-semester poetry appreciation course in different dimensions of mental disorders are lower than those of those who have not completed the course. At the same time, in the scores of 16 personality traits, the positive trait scores of the experimental group are higher than those of the control group. Comparing scores before and after class also reflects the positive effect of poetry appreciation intervention on college students’ personality shaping. It can be concluded that poetry appreciation has a strong effect on promoting college students’ mental health and personality shaping and improving college students’ psychological problems.

Being Mild and Gentle, Sincere and Broadminded and Chinese Aesthetic Psychology

Abstract Appearing for the first time in the chapter “Explanation of the Six Arts” of The Book of Rites, the term “being mild and gentle, sincere and broadminded” reflects Chinese aesthetic psychology. Based on the philosophy of the Mean and harmony, the term fuses poetry with music and extends them to the aesthetics of literature and art. It preserves the concept of harmony dating to the Zhou Dynasty (1046 B.C.E.–256 B.C.E.). After being explained by Confucius and expounded by Dai Sheng, the compiler of The Book of Rites, it influenced the studies of The Book of Songs and music theory of the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.E.–220 C.E.). It laid the foundation of the aesthetic psychology of the Chinese nation and still retains strong vitality.

Emotions in the Psychology of Aesthetics

Ever since Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten (1714–1762) introduced the concept of aesthetics, the prevailing idea has been that the fine arts provide an alternative source of knowledge to the traditional sciences. Art, however, has always been closely associated with emotions. Taking Baumgarten’s treatise on poetry as a point of departure, I argue that Baumgarten laid the ground for a conception of art that emphasizes emotion rather than cognition with a particular appeal to psychology to provide principles of aesthetic appreciation of art. This appeal is met here with a phenomenological discussion of a series of precepts within contemporary emotion theories, which provides the necessary and sufficient conditions for a psychological theory of aesthetic appreciation of art.

Comprehensive Health Evaluation Model of Art Psychotherapy Using Genetic Algorithm.

In order to explore the real effect of art mental health therapy, this paper proposes a feature selection algorithm based on genetic algorithm. The algorithm takes college students as the research object and discusses the effect of psychotherapy on college students through painting art therapy. The results showed that there were extremely significant differences in EPQ extraversion factors among the people treated with the educational intervention of art psychology course (P < 0.01), and there was no significant change in other factors (P > 0.05). There was no significant change in total depression score and depression index (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in social avoidance factors and social anxiety (P < 0.05), and there were relatively significant differences in the total score of sadness (P < 0.01). It is concluded that the use of artistic elements can effectively help people express themselves and express their psychological emotions, which has a certain effect in mental health treatment.

Between Fact and Fabrication: How Visual Art Might Nurture Environmental Consciousness.

Previous studies have highlighted the communicative limitations of artistic visualizations, which are often too conceptual or interpretive to enhance public understanding of (and volition to act upon) scientific climate information. This seems to suggest a need for greater factuality/concreteness in artistic visualization projects, which may indeed be the case. However, in this paper, we synthesize insights from environmental psychology, the psychology of art, and intermediate disciplines like eco-aesthetics, to argue that artworks—defined by their counterfactual qualities—can be effective for stimulating elements of environmental consciousness. We also argue that different artworks may yield different effects depending on how they combine counter/factual strategies. In so doing, we assert that effective artistic perceptualization—here expressed as affectivization—exceeds the faithful translation of facts from one mode to another, and cannot be encapsulated in a single example of un/successful art.

ON THE EFFECTIVE REPRESENTATION OF TEACHERS' LEADERSHIP ROLE FROM THE CHANGE OF CHILDREN'S EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR IN LANGUAGE LEARNING

Abstract Background Early childhood is an important period of language development, especially oral development. The language stimulation received by children during this period will form the continuity of their subsequent language development, and correspondingly affect the development of children's thinking, communication and cognitive ability. The language stimulation received by children during this period will form the continuity of their subsequent language development, and correspondingly affect the development of children's thinking, communication and cognitive ability. From the perspective of children's language learning psychology, they have a lot of expectations for the guiding role of teachers. However, the actual situation shows that in children's language learning activities, the role of teachers' promoters is seriously lacking, which is manifested in Teachers' low awareness of language purpose, lack of awareness of guiding communication, lack of support for children's experience and emotion, lack of demonstration and guidance and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the changes of teachers' leadership role on children's language, emotion and behavior. Participants and methods 100 preschool teachers from 15 kindergartens in Anyang City, Henan Province were observed, analyzed and interviewed by means of questionnaire and in-depth interview. According to the first-hand data collected by questionnaire survey and in-depth interview, the corresponding index system is established to study the correlation between children's language learning psychology and the effectiveness of teacher guidance and its impact on children's emotion. Results This study found that the fundamental reason for the lack of “guidance” in Teachers' language representation is that kindergarten teachers lack an accurate and profound understanding of the meaning of “guidance” and do not pay enough attention to teachers' professional language., And lack of enough motivation to improve their language literacy. At the same time, we analyzed the correlation between children's emotional regulation ability and healthy behavior. The results show that through the investigation of the impact of emotional behavior, there is a significant positive correlation between teachers' guidance and their emotional regulation ability (P &amp;lt; 0.01), indicating that the higher the degree of guidance, the stronger the teachers' emotional regulation ability. Emotional regulation. At the same time, the study found that the process of cognitive reappraisal is similar to epiphany problem solving. Both of them need children to re understand the problem situation in order to better explain the event. Epiphany refers to the sudden emergence of new ideas and new ideas due to an opportunity when a problem can't be solved. The representation transformation theory of insight believes that the solution of insight problem requires individuals to change the inappropriate initial representation of the problem, and establish a new and appropriate problem representation through the reconstruction of the problem, so as to solve the problem. Epiphany is a core component of the creative process. From the perspective of cognitive psychology, Epiphany involves the reconstruction of problem situation, and cognitive reconstruction is the essential feature of epiphany. There are three main factors in cognitive reconstruction: distraction refocusing, cognitive reappraisal and constructive refocusing. Distraction refocusing refers to individuals thinking about other things, preferably positive things, without keeping in touch with emotional stimuli or events; Cognitive reappraisal refers to the change of emotion by changing the evaluation of events or situations that trigger individual emotion; Constructive refocusing refers to trying to change, redefine or explain the factual characteristics of an event, such as what behavior we choose? What has happened? What can you learn from it? Instead of explaining the situation. As one of the three factors of cognitive reconstruction, cognitive reappraisal has the characteristics of creative reconstruction. Conclusion In view of the above problems, we propose an effective expression of teachers' “guidance” based on “children's position”: pay attention to children's learning needs and speech level, and guide children to express their emotions completely and accurately; Pave the way for communication and guide children to express freely and easily in aesthetic experience; Improve the mother tongue quality of kindergarten teachers and guide children to express love in the family. Preschool teachers' guidance on children's language development includes respect and care for children, mastering the law of mother tongue learning, and the value orientation of aesthetics, pleasure, motivation and communication. It can be seen that preschool teachers' guiding language is not a simple skill, but the external embodiment of internal emotion and language accumulation. This is the natural externalization of rich mother tongue literacy. Therefore, to fulfill the guiding responsibility of children's language development, preschool teachers should not only study the law of children's language learning, pay attention to children's learning and aesthetic psychology, and pay attention to the professional requirements of teachers' language, but also pay attention to improving their mother tongue literacy and reflecting on their own teaching language.

More Information, Greater Appreciation: The Correlation between Background Information and Aesthetic Judgment of Tourist Crafts.

More information is often correlated with greater appreciation. Drawing on the model of aesthetic appreciation and aesthetic judgment in art psychology, this study aims to investigate changes in tourists’ aesthetic judgments of tourist crafts when provided with different background information. Blue calico, an art form created through white pulp dyeing and printing, is an intangible cultural heritage of China. The photographs used in this study illustrate typical examples of blue calicos that are commonly sold in tourist gift shops in Wuzhen, China. Data from a sample of 133 participants (49 women and 84 men) was analyzed using Two-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA. We examined to what extent respondents varied their assessments of the calicos based on author manipulation of background factors, such as commentaries by the artist or details about the production process. We found that tourists’ impressions of the aesthetics of blue calicos were predicted by background factors, especially those of tourists who were less interested in high arts. Specifically, blue calicos reported to tourists with names that conveyed an auspicious meaning predicted tourists’ assessments of the calicos as more aesthetically pleasing. Explanations of the production process also predicted an increased appreciation of calico aesthetics. Conversely, artists’ commentaries were not significantly correlated with an increased aesthetic merit of calicos. Understanding what may affect tourists’ assessment of art could help those in the tourism industry market souvenirs to drive sales and enhance tourists’ understanding and appreciation of intangible cultural heritage.

The Influence of Educational Psychology on Modern Art Design Entrepreneurship Education in Colleges.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between psychology and modern art design education in colleges, and to provide the basis for improving the quality of art education in colleges. Based on the relevant theory, the characteristics of educational psychology and art psychology and the correlation between them were analyzed from the angle of art education. According to the characteristics of college students' psychological development, the significance of art psychology-related courses was analyzed. Through the form of questionnaire, a total of 200 students (400 students in total) were randomly selected from Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts (professional art college) and Xi'an University of Science and Technology (comprehensive university), respectively. A total of 400 questionnaires were issued, and 382 valid questionnaires were recovered. The results show that almost all students in two colleges think pedagogy and educational psychology are the theoretical basis for art teachers, while less than one-third of students in Xi'an University of Science and Technology think that art psychology is the theoretical basis for art teachers. The difference between the students' aesthetic and life values in the two colleges is significant (p < 0.01). In the 15 directions of life values, there are significant differences in five directions: spirit—material (p < 0.05), enrichment—emptiness (p < 0.05), enthusiasm—apathy (p < 0.05), hope—despair (p < 0.01), and dedication—acceptance (p < 0.01). It shows that the psychological and values of college students are changeable, and the educators should pay attention to the education in the related fields of psychology. This exploration was conducted based on educational psychology, which is of great significance for improving the educational level of art psychology in colleges and enable students to form correct aesthetic standards and life values.

Psychology of art: art Frida Khalo’s in the formation of the mind from the cultural-historical perspective of Vygotsky

The study presents as object the understanding of art in the formation of the psychism under the cultural-historical perspective of Vygotsky (1991, 1999, 2004). For that, it was opted for the accomplishment of a documental bibliographical research, in order to raise bigger data and dialogues about the thematic inside the vigotskian work. It was used, for this, the book "Psychology of Art" as a starting point for such discussions following a dialectical method for the construction of new debates with the other authors presented here. Through art, the human being expresses the unconscious contents, according to a cultural-historical perspective, becoming capable of transforming himself and others through his affections. As an example, the autobiographical work of the painter Frida Kahlo stands out, bringing some of her paintings and the importance of this in her process of dealing with reality. Affectivity is presented as a fundamental element in the formation of personality, participating in the choice of the contents to be meant. Finally, it is discussed how art and affectivity act in human formation, the suppression of emotions in the current capitalist society and the need to rescue this sensibility for humanity.
