Abstract

Since the dawn of digital art, discourse regarding its potential persists. This research investigates how a virtual reality (VR) art gallery impacts positive and negative affect, examining the influences of aesthetic experiences and individual characteristics. It explores the connection between measures of aesthetic experiences (self-assessed, heart rate, and heart rate variability) and how gender influences this relationship. Digital art's beneficial effect is indicated by decreased negative affect after visiting the VR gallery, potentially influencing mental wellbeing. Individual characteristics influence this impact on affect after the VR experience, especially openness to experience and affect before the visit, mediated by aesthetic experience, and expertise mediated by heart rate. The findings highlight the potential impact of gender on subjective interpretations of physiological responses in the VR environment. Specifically, women tend to attribute heightened heart rate, a sign of arousal, while men associate increased heart rate variability, a sign of relaxation, to positive experiences in the VR.

虚拟艺术能否触动你的心灵？--考虑到个人特征和审美体验的虚拟现实艺术对情感的影响

自数字艺术诞生以来，有关其潜力的讨论就一直没有停止过。本研究调查了虚拟现实（VR）艺术画廊如何影响积极和消极情绪，研究了审美体验和个人特征的影响。它探讨了审美体验测量（自我评估、心率和心率变异性）之间的联系，以及性别如何影响这种关系。参观虚拟现实画廊后，负面情绪的减少表明了数字艺术的有益影响，这可能会对心理健康产生影响。个人特征会影响 VR 体验后对情绪的影响，尤其是参观前对体验和情绪的开放性（以审美体验为中介）和专业知识（以心率为中介）。研究结果强调了性别对 VR 环境中生理反应的主观解释的潜在影响。具体来说，女性倾向于将唤醒的标志--心率加快归因于在 VR 中的积极体验，而男性则将放松的标志--心率变异性增加归因于在 VR 中的积极体验。
