Abstract:

芳香疗法研究表明，芳香精油可以改善个体的情绪问题(如焦虑和抑郁等)。该研究以中学生为研究对象(n = 70)，探究环境中的芳香气味能否改善中学生的心理健康状况。采用实验组对照组前后测准实验设计，选取某初中二年级两个平行班，其中一个班作为对照班(n = 33)，另外一个班作为实验班(n = 37)。对照班中放置盛纯净水的香薰灯，实验班中放置盛有甜橙精油的香薰灯。使用心理健康量表对学生的心理状况进行前测和实验进行两个月后的后测。结果显示，与对照班相比，实验处理后实验班学生的焦虑和抑郁情绪得分显著降低。该实验结果表明，芳香气味可以部分的改善中学生的心理健康状况。
Aromatherapy studies have shown that essential oils can improve an individual’s emotional problems (such as anxiety and depression). This study investigates the influence of ambient aroma on the middle school students’ mental health. The field experiment (n = 70) was conducted in the classrooms of one middle school. The students’ levels of mental health were measured in twice. The first time was measured in normal environment before the aroma was used. The second time was measured in two conditions after two months: 1) without any aroma (n = 33), 2) with orange aroma everyday (n = 37). The results showed that the scores of anxiety and depression in the experimental class were significantly lower than those in the control class. The results suggest that ambient aroma can partly improve the mental health of middle school students.
