Smoking cessation, anxiety, mood and quality of life: reassuring evidences.

2014

A close and complex relationship between smoking and mental health problems was found. Different hypotheses have been proposed to explain these associations: 1) smoking and poor mental health may share common causes (genetic factors or environmental mechanisms); 2) for people with poor mental health smoking is a coping strategy to regulate psychiatric symptoms; 3) smokings worsen mental health. Moreover, smokers with psychiatric disorders may have more difficulty quitting and patients with mental diseases who received mental health treatment within the previous year were more likely to stop smoking than those not receiving treatment. Taylor et al. hypothesized that quitting smoking might im…

Effects of assisted training with neurofeedback on EEG measures, executive function and mood in a healthy sample

2015

The training in neurofeedback (NF) consists of teaching individuals to modify, adjust and enhance their brain activity pattern. The aim of our research was to evaluate the effect of training on cognitive processes, specifically executive function, and mood in a non-clinical sample. A sample of 30 female college students were assigned to three groups: RH: right hemisphere (n = 10), LH: left hemisphere (n = 10) and control (n = 10). The dominance pattern of beta and the inhibition of the theta pattern were trained in a single session. Measures of executive function (Iowa Gambling Test) and questionnaires of mood were taken pre and post training. We found that NF training produced significant …

“Developing Capabilities”. Inclusive Extracurricular Enrichment Programs to Improve the Well-Being of Gifted Adolescents

2021

The educational inclusion of gifted students requires not only equity but also emotional accessibility and social participation. However, different studies indicate that gifted students constitute a vulnerable group (for example, the incidence of bullying is higher). Psychosocial variables are determinants for the development and expression of giftedness, particularly during adolescence. This study analyzes the impact of an inclusive extracurricular enrichment program for gifted secondary school students on the well-being of adolescents. The program was based on the enrichment model of Renzulli and Reis (2016). The objective was to develop a cluster to facilitate high-achieving learning in …

Influence of Musical Context on the Perception of Emotional Expression of Music

2013

Factors determining and influencing the perception of emotional expression of music include those related to music itself, to the listener, and to the context. Among the latter there is also music, as we rarely listen to a single piece. A simple experimental study has been carried out into the effect of music listened to immediately beforehand on the perception of the emotional expression of a musical piece. The following variables were involved: type of emotional expression of music conceived in terms of a most basic sad-joyful dimension, initial and final mood of the listeners, their professional musical education vs. lack thereof, age, and gender. The subjects were students of three age …

Systemaattinen päättely asteikkoteoriassa

2017

Tämä tutkielma keskittyy musiikinteorian osa-alueeseen, jossa huomion kohteina ovat sävelasteikot. Pääasiallisin tehtävä on ollut tarkastella metateoreettisella tasolla, mitä tarkoittaa systemaattinen päättely asteikkoteoriassa ja mitä on systemaattinen asteikkoteoria. Metateoreettisen tarkastelun tueksi asteikkoteorian kysymyksiä on lähestytty myös kahdella tutkimuksellisella sovellusalueella. Ensimmäisessä sovellusalueessa on tutkittu, minkälaisia niin sanottua sointu/asteikko-teoriaa koskevia systeemejä on esitetty aineistoksi valituissa jazzmusiikin oppikirjoissa sekä minkälaisia asteikkojen ja moodien hierarkioita tai muita erityispiirteitä niistä voidaan löytää. Toisessa sovellusaluee…
