  1. Psychophysiological Assessment of Emotion-Eliciting Properties of Cosmetic Products University of Wuppertal Physiological Psychology Wolfram Boucsein & Florian Schaefer

  2. Psychophysiology in Ergonomics (PIE) • The purpose of the PIE organization is to promote and advance the understanding of psychophysiological methods and their application to ergonomics… • …through the interchange of knowledge and methodology in the behavioral, biological and physical sciences, and engineering disciplines. • “Kamsung engineering” in Korea and “kanseiengineering” in Japan… • …relates to sensitivity and feeling of a person being in contact with an industrial product and can be measured by means of psychophysiological methods in the process of designing a product.

  16. Objective Emotional Assessment (OEA) reveals emotional and arousing properties of cosmetic products • elicited by: • consistency of foams • smoothness of hair treated with a specific shampoo • typical fragrances • Technique of OEA: • easy-to-apply • non-invasive • measures of autonomic and somatic nervous system parameters • Superior to classical techniques: • sensory assessment • home-use tests

  17. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances • Hypotheses: • Lavender is relaxing and soothing • Jasmine is activating and animating • Design: • two by two factorial (fragrance and sequence) • (Lavender and jasmine; 1st and 2nd trial). • within-subjects (each subject is investigated under each of the • four possible conditions, randomized).

  18. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Subjects: Twenty-four female employees who were selected in pre-tests according to their good ability to smell fragrances. • Physiological parameters: • Electrodermal activity (EDA) • Heart activity (ECG) • Finger pulse volume amplitude (PVA) • Activity of three facial muscles (EMG) • (Zygomaticus major, Levator labii, Corrugator supercilii)

  24. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Lavender: Inconspicuous, non-interesting (PVA modulation) Steady over both trials Jasmine: Conspicuous, eliciting more interest (PVA modulation) Decrease in trial 2 sequence significant, fragrance significant

  25. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Lavender: In the 1st trial more negatively toned (NS. SCR freq. higher) In the 2nd trial more relaxing (mean IBI longer → lower HR) and negative valence diminishing Jasmine: In the 1st trial more positively toned (NS. SCR freq. lower) In the 2nd trial more exiting (mean IBI shorter → higher HR) and positive valence remaining

  26. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Lavender: Total face less in move (relaxed) (mean EMG of all three muscles) Jasmine: Total face more in move (activated) (mean EMG of all three muscles)

  27. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Lavender: Subliminal smile weaker* Becoming stronger in trial 2 (*: Interaction significant) Jasmine: Subliminal smile stronger* Becoming weaker in trial 2 (*: Interaction significant)

  28. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Lavender: Less critically evaluated (Corrugator: no. of responses) Increase in trial 2 (Trial and interaction significant) Jasmine: More critically evaluated (Corrugator: max. amplitude) (Odor significant)

  29. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Lavender: Unobtrusive, uninteresting (PVA modulation) Steady over both trials Jasmine: Striking, interest-eliciting (PVA modulation) Decreasing in trial 2 sequence significant, fragrance significant if baseline is used as covariate

  30. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Lavender: In the 1st trial more negatively toned (NS. SCR freq. higher) In the 2nd trial more relaxing (mean IBI longer → lower HR) and negative valence diminishing Jasmine: In the 1st trial more positively toned (NS. SCR freq. lower) In the 2nd trial more exiting (mean IBI shorter → higher HR) and positive valence remaining

  31. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Lavender: Subliminal smile weaker* Becoming stronger in trial 2 (* : Interaction significant) Jasmine: Subliminal smile stronger* Becoming weaker in trial 2 (* : Interaction significant)

  32. Psychophysiological effects of fragrances Lavender: Less critically evaluated (Corrugator: no. of responses) Increase in trial 2 (Sequence and interaction significant) Jasmine: More critically evaluated (Corrugator: max. amplitude) (Fragrance significant, sequence sign. if baseline used as covariate)

  33. Results from ANOVA • Our hypotheses were at least partially confirmed: • The relaxing and soothing property of lavender showed up in the heart rate (IBI longer). However, the emotionproduced might have had some negative touch (EDA). • The activating and animating property of jasmine was shown in the PVA (eliciting interest) and in the zygomaticus (eliciting a subliminal smile), but only during the first presentation. Afterwards, this effect was gone but a critical evaluation persisted (as shown in the corrugator activity).
