Art has proven be an asset in maintaining and enhancing our wellbeing. Following a recent field study, the present laboratory investigation assessed whether and to what extent an interaction with art in urban public spaces can positively impact experienced wellbeing. Participants watched videos simulating an interaction with a parking-lot-sized intervention decorated with art, greenery (active control), or nothing (conventional control) in an urban setting. Before and after interacting with each video, participants’ anxiety, stress, positive and negative mood were measured. Subjective experiences of the location and the intervention were also collected. Results showed a unique pattern for the art: (1) while positive mood decreased for both active and conventional controls, it remained stable in the art and (2) exploratory analyses suggested a positive correlation between subjective experiences and wellbeing only for the art. Current results as well as differences and advantages of field and laboratory studies were discussed.

Art-viewing is a defining component of society and culture, in part because the experience involves a wide-range and nuanced configuration of emotional and cognitive responses. Precisely because of this complexity, however, questions of the actual nature, scope, and variety of art experience remain largely unanswered: what kinds of patterns do we exhibit, how do various components go together, and can these be distilled into shared experiential outcomes? We introduce an exploratory study based on 345 individuals’ unique experiences with one of three sets of artworks. Experiences were assessed via 46 affective and cognitive items based on a recent model, with individuals reporting to what degree they felt each during their encounter. Network and latent profile analyses revealed five patterns, aligning to a Harmonious, Facile, Transformative, and two Negative outcomes. These largely supported model hypotheses, connected to specific appraisals, and could be found, although with varying probability, across individual viewers and artworks.

Empirical aesthetics focuses on understanding how perceptual features shape aesthetic preferences, with symmetry being a key aspect. However, recent studies show variation in symmetry preference across samples and stimuli. Our study aims to explore the boundaries of symmetry preference, particularly in relation to meaning, prototypicality and expertise in visual arts. With our stimuli we can test the comparative dominance of these features. In our forced-choice preference task (N = 196), we manipulated images for symmetry, meaning, and prototypicality. Findings reveal that symmetry preference is only remarkable in meaningless images among non-experts. Instead, meaningfulness emerged as a significant factor influencing their aesthetic preferences. Experts show no distinct preference for symmetry or meaningfulness. However, prototypicality is favoured by both groups in meaningful stimuli, regardless of symmetry. These results highlight the dominance of meaning in aesthetic experience and underscore the complex interplay between symmetry, meaning, and expertise in visual arts.

We explore cultural participation's impact on subjective well-being in Cluj Metropolitan Area. Using telephone surveys, we identify a positive correlation between cultural engagement and increased well-being, mediated by cultural appraisal. Three primary participation types—active, receptive, and entertainment-related—are identified. Active and entertainment-related activities indirectly enhance well-being through cultural appraisal, while receptive participation shows no significant direct or indirect effect. Controlling socio-economic factors, the mediation analysis underscores cultural practices’ significant impact on well-being. These findings support the “cultural commoning” hypothesis, indicating collective urban cultural engagement fosters shared values and improves subjective well-being.

Subjective fluency affects preference evaluation in daily objects through two routes: increasing preference (‘hedonic effect’) and amplifying valence effects on preference (‘amplifying effect’). Contrarily, empirical aesthetics suggest that contextual knowledge, the primary source of fluency, prevents valence-dependent appreciation, challenging the amplifying effect model. Here, we examined the dual effects of fluency on preference for visual artworks with varying valence. We found that fluency increased preference and weakened valence effects. Using an eye-tracking approach, we also investigated the cognitive mechanism bridging fluency and preference. We hypothesized that contextual information facilitates controlled processing-related eye movement, and this gazing behavior enhances fluency and preference. While contextual information facilitated controlled processing and fluency, controlled eye movement did not mediate its effect on fluency. Although our findings motivate further research into the complex interplay between processing style and fluency, they elucidate art-specific affect-fluency-preference interactions.

The growing psychology of magic field explores how spectators understand, appreciate, and experience this ancient performing art. The present research explored how skeptical, superstitious, and paranormal beliefs predict the enjoyment of magic. A sample of American adults ( n = 292) completed a measure of magic attitudes (the Loathing of Legerdemain Scale) along with many measures of (1) skeptical and rational beliefs (e.g., critical thinking and trust in science), and (2) superstitious and paranormal beliefs (e.g., luck, conspiracy theories, and paranormal topics like astrology, psi, witchcraft, and spiritualism). Random forests identified the most important unique predictors of magic attitudes within this large, intercorrelated predictor set. Consistent with past research and with magicians’ experiences, enjoying magic was marked by seemingly opposing clusters of beliefs—one marked by higher critical thinking, and another marked by higher superstitious and paranormal beliefs—highlighting the variety of psychological underpinnings for the enjoyment of magic.

The present study investigated the determinants affecting students’ actual use through the use of a video-conferencing platform, and how actual use affects dance engagement, for enhancing the learning experience in the domain of dance education, particularly Philippine Traditional Dances. Therefore, this predictive-causal study aimed to assess the effect of actual use (by adopting Technology Acceptance Model) to dance engagement from a total sample of 1,741 students by using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling. It was observed that perceived ease of use directly affects perceived usefulness; both PEOU and PU impacts Behavioral Intention and Actual Use; and BI leverages Actual Use of the videoconferencing platform. Moreover, it was also found that AU strengthens Dance Engagement. Findings indicate that students may benefit greatly from using the videoconferencing platform that may significantly bolster their dance engagement in learning Philippine traditional dances, but with some obstacles that needs to be taken into consideration.
本研究调查了通过使用视频会议平台影响学生实际使用的决定因素，以及实际使用如何影响舞蹈参与度，以增强舞蹈教育领域（尤其是菲律宾传统舞蹈）的学习体验。因此，本预测-因果研究旨在通过使用偏最小平方结构方程模型，评估实际使用（采用技术接受度模型）对舞蹈参与度的影响，样本共有 1741 名学生。结果表明，感知易用性直接影响感知有用性；PEOU 和 PU 均影响行为意向和实际使用；BI 对视频会议平台的实际使用具有杠杆作用。此外，研究还发现，AU 增强了舞蹈参与度。研究结果表明，学生可以从视频会议平台中获益匪浅，该平台可以显著提高他们学习菲律宾传统舞蹈的参与度，但也存在一些需要考虑的障碍。

Paul Locher passed away on 20 August 2024. Paul was an outstanding scientist and a central figure in the field of empirical aesthetics. He made important contributions to numerous areas including the study of symmetry, balance, facial attractiveness, museum behaviour, artwork composition and restoration, and aesthetics of food, but in particular to the study of eye movements in aesthetic appreciation of artworks. Indeed, his research on eye tracking is a touchstone for visual perception in empirical aesthetics. Here, a group of Paul's colleagues remember and celebrate him through a set of recollections that honour how he shaped their research and lives. It is hoped that this will offer a glimpse into the wonderful scholar and human being that Paul was, and why he will be sorely missed.

This paper describes how computational generative models can describe aspects of the artistic process, and how these generative models can provide tools for formulating and testing psychological theories of art. The term “generative models” here refers to algorithms that can generate artistic imagery, video, text, or other artistic media, including techniques developed in both computer graphics and AI research. Generative models can both describe artistic processes and offer useful experimental tools. This paper first outlines different ways to understand the types of research in generative models. It then surveys several recent examples of using generative models to develop theories and to perform experiments. The paper then discusses misleading uses of the concept of “AI-generated art” in psychological studies, and the need for study of our relationship with new artistic technologies. Finally, the paper offers a few remarks on pursuing interdisciplinary research across psychology and computer graphics.

Mental health is relevant to every individual. Poor mental health and well-being contribute significantly to personal suffering and a substantial burden on society. Art and cooking therapies in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are flexible approaches that emphasize engagement and growth to promote mental health and well-being, are easy to perform, accessible when needed, and can be self-administered. This review aims to explore art and cooking therapies focusing on intervention protocols, target populations, underlying mechanisms, limitations, and areas for future research. The literature search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar databases using predefined search terms. A total of 26 randomized controlled trials, 19 in art therapy, and seven in cooking therapy were included. Art and cooking therapies are promising interventions to improve mental health and well-being. They promote mindfulness and provide opportunities for self-expression and social support which can be explored in future studies and therapeutic settings.
