- 소개/요약Research has shown that creative performance, such as painting, influences affective and cognitive processes. Yet, little is known about how tactile sensations experienced during painting determine what individuals feel and how they think while they create. Based on prior research, we expected finger painting (compared to brush painting) to generate more tactile sensations, enhance state mindfulness, and broaden the scope of attention. We also expected an effect of painting on emotional processing. Volunteers (N = 54) were randomly assigned to finger painting or brush painting sessions. The global-local test was used to measure scope of attention. Participants reported state mindfulness with a cued-recall rating dial method. Automated facial expression analysis provided a continuous index of emotions. In support of the hypotheses, finger painting was related to more tactile sensations, more state mindfulness, and a broader attentional focus. These results suggest that assigning finger painting to individuals is a viable method for improving state mindfulness and enhancing scope of attention. The effects for affective processes, however, are mixed.
