Hypothesis: Gandharva Veda music balances the mind and body. Materials and Methods: A professional Gandharvan performed 16 live and two online concerts. Mood states were assessed with the Profile of Mood states (POMS) at the live concerts, emotional and physiological balance were assessed during the online concerts using a traditional Ayurveda diagnostic technique called “pulse diagnosis,” and the EEG of a single Gandharvan was recorded while she played a raga. Results: In the first study (n=1,800), Gandharva Veda music led to significant decreases of negative emotions and significant increases of positive emotions. In the second study, 78 Ayurveda students reported significantly higher levels of vibrant health and significant lowers level of physiological blockages after the ragas. In the last study, high theta1 and alpha1 coherence patterns were seen both during meditation practice and when the Gandharvan played the ragas, along with higher 12 – 50 Hz coherence during the ragas. Discussion: The responses on the POMS and pulse reading support the prediction that Gandharva Veda music creates a healthy influence for the listener. Also, the coexistence of higher alpha1 coherence, a marker of inner silence, and higher 12-50 Hz coherence, a marker of goal-oriented performance suggests that playing Gandharva Veda music may culture inner silence as the performer plays complex musical passages. Conclusion: Future research is warranted to explore the application of Gandharva Veda music across a wider population of healthy and clinical patients.","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44624717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Part of the value of working memory training is that it activates the prefrontal cortex. Therefore, it is important to determine the parts of the prefrontal cortex that are activated by working memory training. While there is much evidence that mental abacus effectively trains working memory, few studies have assessed whether the abacus (Soroban) in Japan should be considered an effective training approach for working memory and if it activates the prefrontal cortex. Therefore, in this case study, a 16-channel functional near-infrared spectroscopy device (OEG-16H, Spectratech, Japan) was used to compare brain activation during the abacus task using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Working Memory Index tasks (i.e., digit span (forward), digit span (backward), letter–number sequencing, and picture span tasks). First-grade boys and fifth-grade girls participated in this study. The results revealed that the anterior part of the prefrontal cortex was specifically activated by the abacus task. These findings support the possibility that the abacus activity is an effective training approach for working memory.","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46668517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Literature in thematic areas was reviewed. For the methodology, the grounded theory was adopted to provide the theoretical underpinning for the study, and the researcher used a qualitative research approach with a semi-structured interview with open-ended questions. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to identify and recruit the participants. The research was conducted in three Swedish cities: Lund, Malmö, and Karlstad. The participants consisted of ten different immigrant men and women. The ages of participants ranged from 26 to 58 years. The participants were limited to immigrants who were married to Swedish natives but are now divorced. They were married for more than 2 years and divorced for more than 5 years. The result revealed that attitude change, communication, abuse, controlling behavior, ‘studying each other,’ cultural acceptance, accommodating each other, and traumatic experiences are associated with the high divorce rates in marriages between Swedish immigrants and native Swedes, as opposed to the comparatively lower divorce rates found in marriages between Swedish-born citizens. It can be challenging when immigrants and native Swedes who are married hold on to their cultural norms and beliefs. The findings will help enlighten would-be spouses on the need to familiarize themselves with the cultural values of their would-be partners before they get into marriage and adds insight into the pattern of divorce commonly experienced among immigrants in Sweden.","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42606816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Short-term mindfulness trainings can increase life goal and autobiographical memory specificities. The present study extends the literature by investigating whether trait mindfulness is associated with life goal and autobiographical memory specificities. Additionally, because mindfulness trainings improve working memory capacity, which is associated with future episodic specificity and autobiographical memory retrieval, a second aim of this study was to examine whether working memory capacity moderates the relationship between trait mindfulness and life goal and autobiographical memory specificities. 96 participants completed the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory, Automated Operational Span task, minimal instructions Autobiographical Memory Test, and Measure to Elicit Positive Future Goals and Plans. A multiple regression analysis revealed that the presence aspect of trait mindfulness and the interaction of the acceptance aspect of trait mindfulness and working memory capacity were predictive for goal specificity. A follow-up simple slope analysis revealed that high acceptance aspect of mindfulness was associated with low goal specificity in participants with a high working memory capacity. However, this association was not present in participants with medium and low working memory capacity. Neither trait mindfulness nor working memory capacity were associated with autobiographical memory specificity. Findings suggest that present-moment awareness enables one to focus on accessing event-specific knowledge, and that an accepting attitude alone cannot help people with high working memory capacity to make more concrete and specific future plans. The lack of association between trait mindfulness and autobiographical memory specificity might be attributed to low specific memories found in this study.","PeriodicalId":90867,"journal":{"name":"International journal of psychological studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42603889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
