Abstract

This study identified heart response of participants while listening to sounds which have 1/f fluctuations with exponent ${\alpha}$ gradient. The participants were engaged in emotional stress work. Prior studies related to 1/f fluctuation sound have reported that sound source can alleviate psychological and physiological state of users. Subjects of this study were exposed to sound with three levels of ${\alpha}$ gradient. Heart response of subjects were measured with Photoplethysmography(PPG) sensor simultaneously. The dependent variables of this study were beat per minute(BPM), very low frequency percent of pulse rate variability (VLF percent), the standard deviation of all normal RR intervals (SDNN), and high frequency power(HF power). Subject showed arousal response when exposed to sound with exponent ${\alpha}$ gradient of 3 whereas the sound with exponent ${\alpha}$ gradient of 1 and 2 resulted in relax effect. The characteristic of 1/f fluctuation sounds can be applied to alleviate stress for employers under emotional labor.

본 연구는 1/f fluctuation의 ${\alpha}$기울기 따라 구성된 사운드를 들었을 때 감정 스트레스 업무에 종사하고 있는 피험자들의 심박 변화를 확인하고자 하였다. 기존의 연구에서는 주로 사용자의 심리상태 안정시키는 효과 또는 생리적 안정성에 1/f fluctuation의 ${\alpha}$기울기가 관계가 있는 것으로 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 1/f fluctuation 수준을 총 3가지 나누어 제작한 사운드를 독립변수로 사용하였다. 독립변수는 감정노동 종사자에게 제시하여 그에 따른 심장반응을 측정하였다. 종속변수는 네 가지로 BPM(Beat Per Minute), VLF(Very Low Frequency), SDNN(Standard Deviation of NN intervals), 그리고 HF(High Frequency) 파워(Power)값을 확인하였다. 분석결과 기울기가 3인 1/fluctuation 사운드는 각성효과를 보였다. 기울기 1, 2인 사운드는 이완효과가 있는 것을 통계적으로 검증하였다. 이러한 1/f fluctuation 사운드의 특성을 활용해 감정 노동자들의 스트레스를 완화시키기 위한 서비스에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
