Abstract

The arts and humanities have enriched human life in various ways throughout history. Yet, an analysis of empirical research into the effects of arts and humanities engagement remains incomplete, calling for a systematic and integrative understanding of the role of arts and humanities in promoting human flourishing. The present study used a mixed studies systematic review approach to integrating recent evidence from 27 intervention studies on the effectiveness of arts and humanities interventions on psychological flourishing of healthy adults. Our final dataset both represented quantitative and qualitative data on real-world interventions that encompassed a range of arts and humanities domains, including music, theater, visual arts, and integrative arts. A separate quantitative and qualitative data synthesis on study characteristics and psychological flourishing outcomes and a meta-integration of both types of evidence were conducted. Overall, arts and humanities interventions were associated with positive changes in a range of psychological flourishing outcomes, with overlapping quantitative and qualitative evidence for emotional, social, and sense of self outcomes. A secondary analysis explored key contextual and implementation features that contributed to effectiveness. Recommendations for future research and practice are provided based on our review.

艺术和人文干预健康成人的繁荣:一项混合研究系统综述

历史上，艺术和人文学科以各种方式丰富了人类生活。然而，对艺术和人文参与影响的实证研究的分析仍然不完整，需要系统和综合地理解艺术和人文在促进人类繁荣中的作用。本研究采用了混合研究系统综述的方法，整合了27项干预研究的最新证据，这些研究表明艺术和人文干预对健康成年人心理健康的有效性。我们的最终数据集代表了现实世界干预的定量和定性数据，涵盖了一系列艺术和人文领域，包括音乐、戏剧、视觉艺术和综合艺术。对研究特征和心理发展结果进行了单独的定量和定性数据综合，并对这两种类型的证据进行了元整合。总体而言，艺术和人文干预与一系列心理繁荣结果的积极变化有关，情感、社会和自我感觉结果的数量和质量证据重叠。第二次分析探讨了有助于提高效率的关键背景和执行特征。根据我们的综述，为未来的研究和实践提供了建议。

期刊介绍： Review of General Psychology seeks to publish innovative theoretical, conceptual, or methodological articles that cross-cut the traditional subdisciplines of psychology. The journal contains articles that advance theory, evaluate and integrate research literatures, provide a new historical analysis, or discuss new methodological developments in psychology as a whole. Review of General Psychology is especially interested in articles that bridge gaps between subdisciplines in psychology as well as related fields or that focus on topics that transcend traditional subdisciplinary boundaries.
