| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A POMS test assessing mood/emotion and a salivary α-amylase activity test assessing sympathetic nerve activity were performed before and after group cooking in college students and elderlies. A questionnaire survey was also performed to assess the influence of personality. The POMS test showed that the cooking increased psychological stability in both students and elderlies, suggesting the effect of “harmonious personality” on mood/emotion.
Then, the effect of group cooking in a standing position and deskwork in a sitting position were compared in the students. The increase in psychological stability was greater in cooking than in deskwork. Also, a free description survey after the work revealed that cooking work provided a stronger sense of accomplishment, pleasant emotion and surprise of discovery compared to deskwork, It also seemed to give stronger sense of self-efficacy. Thus, it is considered that the cooking is a more future-oriented activity than the deskwork.
