探討結合沉浸式體驗之水聲類型對於個體生心理效益之影響

Discussing the Psychological and Physiological Benefits of Water Sounds in Immersive Experiences for Individuals

本研究主要探討不同水聲類型的沈浸式體驗是否會影響個體之生心理反應。30位BMI值低於24之大學生在本研究中被要求填寫問卷與配戴HRV調查設備。為了減少視覺差異對於個體之影響，沈浸式體驗內容被設定為峽谷間的5分鐘森林步道步行體驗。分析結果發現，瀑布聲與溪流聲於焦慮、情緒體驗皆有影響，其中溪流聲對於愉悅與喚醒情緒都有顯著影響，而瀑布聲僅對於愉悅情緒有顯著影響，但是溪流與瀑布聲對於心理改變的差異則不明顯。而二者對於生理數值也有正向影響，溪流聲對於減低心率的成效較明顯，而瀑布聲對於提升自律神經活性(SDNN)的成效較為明顯，本研究結果提供管理者關於自然聲音對於生心理健康的重要性，希望能藉此結果保護重要之自然環境體驗。

This study aimed to explore the psychological and physiological benefits of immersive experiences with different types of water sounds for individuals. Thirty college students with a BMI below 24 were asked to fill out a questionnaire and wear heart rate variability (HRV) survey equipment. To reduce the impact of visual differences on individuals, the immersive experience content was set as a five-minute forest trail walking experience between canyons. The results of the analysis showed that the sound of waterfalls and streams had an impact on participants’ anxiety and emotional experience. Among them, the sound of the stream had a significant effect on both pleasure and arousal, while the sound of the waterfall only had a significant effect on pleasure. However, the difference between the psychological effects of the sound of the stream and the waterfall was not obvious. These two waterscape sound types also had a positive effect on physiological values. The effect of the stream sound on reducing heart rate was more obvious than waterfall sound, and the effect of the waterfall sound on improving autonomic nervous activity of standard deviation of normal to normal beats (SDNN) was more obvious than stream sound. The results of this study provide managers with information on the importance of natural sounds for psychological and physiological health, and to preserve important natural environmental experiences.
