| Popis: | Interventions using music, text, and music and text together for relaxation and visualization stimulation are used frequently by music therapists and psychotherapists in their clinical practice. However, there is not much research comparing the impact of these interventions on psychophysiological responses. The goal of this pilot study was to compare the interaction with psychophysiological reactions of different types of interventions using visualization. The reactions, including respiratory rate, galvanic skin response, heart rate, and blood pressure, were measured with a polygraph. Healthy nonmusician adults ( n = 20) were randomly assigned to three groups: group M listened to music, group T listened to text with verbal visualization instructions, and group M+T listened to the music and text combined. Statistically significant differences in psychophysiological responses to these conditions were found. Additionally, all of the interventions were rated as highly pleasurable by participants. The implications of the results are discussed for both clinical practice and future research projects. The results of this pilot study may contribute to and direct further investigations. |
