漂浮疗法对大学生注意力的影响

Attention Promotion Effect of Flotation Therapy

目的 :探讨漂浮疗法对大学生注意力的影响。方法 :被试为 5 3名 (男 2 6,女 2 7)大学生 ,随机分为 5组 ,其中 1-4组为漂浮组 ,5组为对照组。每人共四次治疗。采用视觉注意分配与转移 (简称T5 )和双手选择反应时 (简称T8)为指标。结果 :总体而言 ,漂浮组被试的视觉注意分配与转移和双手选择反应时时间均随着治疗过程而逐渐缩短 ,且男性注意力提高好于女性 (P <0 0 5 ) ,左右手改善无明显差异。漂浮组被试在两项指标上均显著好于对照组被试。提示漂浮组实验指标的改善不完全是练习效应的结果。结论 :漂浮疗法有助于提高被试注意力。漂浮疗法提高右脑功能的假说在本研究中未得到验证。

Objective: To evaluate the effect of flotation therapy on the attention of undergraduates. Method: Subjects were 53 undergraduates (26 male, 27 female). They were randomly divided into 5 groups. Group 1,2,3 and group 4 were flotation groups and group 5 was control group. Each subject finished four therapies. Visual attention attribution and diversion (T5) and bilateral two- choice reaction time (T8) were used as the indexes. Result: As a whole, the T5 and T8 times of the subjects in the flotation groups were shortened in the course of the therapy. The promotion of attention in the male subjects was better than that in the female subjects. There was no significant difference between the changes of bilateral two-choice reaction time. The promotion in the flotation subjects was significantly better than that in the control subjects and it could not be explained totally by practice effect. Conclusion: The attention of the subjects can be promoted by flotation therapy. This study could not support the assumption that flotation therapy could promote the function of right brain as some prior studies declared.
