Effects of Dynamic Digital Art with Audio-visual Emotional Congruence on Relieving Stress

Published: 12 February 2024 Publication History

Abstract

The fast-paced life of contemporary society increases people's psychological stress, and a piece of creative digital art may help relieve the stress. The interactivity and dynamics of digital art bring different experiences to us. This article sought to determine if the dynamic digital art image transfer process with different music would influence the stress state. The stimuli were the 4 pieces of congruent audio-visual material to test which type of video has a stress-relieving effect. 100 participants were invited and divided into 5 groups for the experiment. The Trier Social Stress Test experiment was used to stimulate the stress state of the participants, and then 4 groups were shown videos of four emotional types: joy, anger, sadness and fear. The fifth group was the control group. The changes in stress state before and after the test were measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Questionnaire. The study found that happy and sad videos were more effective in relieving stress. The insights from this work could provide input to the design of digital art in emotion intervention and stress management.
