3Understanding how experiences unfold requires measuring participants' emotions, especially as they move from location to location. Measuring and mapping emotions over space is technically challenging, however. While a number of technologies to record and spatially resolve emotion data exist, they have not been systematically compared. We present emotion data collected at a natural and military heritage site in the Netherlands using three different methods, namely retrospective self report, experience reconstruction, and physiology. These data are applied to three corresponding mapping methods. The resulting maps lead to divergent findings, demonstrating that spatial mapping of emotion data accentuates differences between distinct dimensions of emotions.

Understanding and managing tourism event experiences requires insight into how emotions unfold across space. Drawing on constructed emotion theory, this study advanced both theoretical and methodological knowledge by comparing three spatial emotion mapping approaches. Namely, we applied experience reconstruction maps, emotion physiology maps, and emotion effectiveness maps to visitor experiences of two events at nature-based fort settings in the Netherlands. Using intercept sampling (N = 98), we combined questionnaires with GPS tracking and skin conductance measurement to collect location-resolved emotional data. The resulting maps revealed markedly different spatial emotion patterns, reflecting distinct emotional components: physiological arousal and recalled or reconstructed emotional arousal and valence. Studies which map emotions have usually not accounted for within-individual autocorrelation. Our multilevel statistical models, in contrast, did account for this. The difference in emotion ranking of AOI raised questions about the validity of previous emotion mapping efforts. We extended constructed emotion theory to spatial analysis, demonstrated the limits of current mapping methods, and argued in favor of controlling for autocorrelation for robust spatial emotion research. Our findings can provide methodological guidance for researchers and event managers, and can lay the groundwork for future innovations that integrate physiological, self-reported, and spatial data for sustainable tourism event management.

Depression is a highly prevalent and seriously impairing disorder. Evidence suggests that music therapy can decrease depression, though the music therapy that is offered is often not clearly described in studies. The purpose of this study was to develop an improvisational music therapy intervention based on insights from theory, evidence and clinical practice for young adults with depressive symptoms. The Intervention Mapping method was used and resulted in (1) a model to explain how emotion dysregulation may affect depressive symptoms using the Component Process Model (CPM) as a theoretical framework; (2) a model to clarify as to how improvisational music therapy may change depressive symptoms using synchronisation and emotional resonance; (3) a prototype Emotion-regulating Improvisational Music Therapy for Preventing Depressive symptoms (EIMT-PD); (4) a ten-session improvisational music therapy manual aimed at improving emotion regulation and reducing depressive symptoms; (5) a program implementation plan; and (6) a summary of a multiple baseline study protocol to evaluate the effectiveness and principles of EIMT-PD. EIMT-PD, using synchronisation and emotional resonance may be a promising music therapy to improve emotion regulation and, in line with our expectations, reduce depressive symptoms. More research is needed to assess its effectiveness and principles.

Introduction: Depression can be a serious problem in young adult students. There is a need to implement and monitor prevention interventions for these students. Emotion-regulating improvisational music therapy (EIMT) was developed to prevent depression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of EIMT for use in practice for young adult students with depressive symptoms in a university context. Method: A process evaluation was conducted embedded in a larger research project. Eleven students, three music therapists and five referrers were interviewed. The music therapists also completed evaluation forms. Data were collected concerning client attendance, treatment integrity, musical components used to synchronise, and experiences with EIMT and referral. Results: Client attendance (90%) and treatment integrity were evaluated to be sufficient (therapist adherence 83%; competence 84%). The music therapists used mostly rhythm to synchronise (38 of 99 times). The students and music therapists reported that EIMT and its elements evoked changes in all emotion regulation components. The students reported that synchronisation elicited meaningful experiences of expressing joy, feeling heard, feeling joy and bodily responses of relaxation. The music therapists found the manual useful for applying EIMT. The student counsellors experienced EIMT as an appropriate way to support students due to its preventive character. Discussion: EIMT appears to be a feasible means of evoking changes in emotion regulation components in young adult students with depressive symptoms in a university context. More studies are needed to create a more nuanced and evidence-based understanding of the feasibility of EIMT, processes of change and treatment integrity.

Abstract: Combined lifestyle interventions (CLI) are focused on guiding clients with weight-related health risks into a healthy lifestyle. CLIs are most often delivered through face-to-face sessions with limited use of eHealth technologies. To integrate eHealth into existing CLIs, it is important to identify how behavior change techniques are being used by health professionals in the online and offline treatment of overweight clients. Therefore, we conducted online semi-structured interviews with providers of online and offline lifestyle interventions. Data were analyzed using an inductive thematic approach. Thirty-eight professionals with (n = 23) and without (n = 15) eHealth experience were interviewed. Professionals indicate that goal setting and action planning, providing feedback and monitoring, facilitating social support, and shaping knowledge are of high value to improve physical activity and eating behaviors. These findings suggest that it may be beneficial to use monitoring devices combined with video consultations to provide just-in-time feedback based on the client’s actual performance. In addition, it can be useful to incorporate specific social support functions allowing CLI clients to interact with each other. Lastly, our results indicate that online modules can be used to enhance knowledge about health consequences of unhealthy behavior in clients with weight-related health risks.

This paper introduces the Feral Map, an open online map that brings together different creative practices questioning the dominant extractive, technocentric rendering and legitimising of particular algorithmic futures. Building on its initial development drawn upon open urban tree data, it invites people to explore and engage with their surroundings in creative, unfamiliar ways and share their experiences in the form of stories, using different kinds of media, sensory impressions, and personal expressions. These stories can be offered to existing places and local “creatures” (such as animals, ambiences, and glitches) or become new creatures on their own, emphasising mattering and entanglements: that change is the only constant in life. Through this, the map obscures the currently available–mostly quantitative–data about a place, and can help to raise questions about power, values, and structural inequalities that shape the place and its future. The Feral Map has been evolving to include such stories and creatures–or messy data–from different creative, practice-based research projects. Our paper presents the theoretical framing of the Feral Map and its design, how it has been transforming along with the involved projects, as well as our learnings from the process and possible future directions.

The idea that technologies influence society—both positively and negatively—is not new. This is mainly the terrain of the philosophy and the ethics of technolo-gy research. Similarly, design research aims to help create new technologies in line with individual, social, and societal needs and values. Against this backdrop, it seems essential to expose relations between design and philosophy of tech-nology research, particularly from a methodological perspective. The main goal of this paper is to suggest a preliminary overview of methods and approaches that can inspire and inform interdisciplinary collaboration and, with that, sys-tematic engagement with ethics in design processes. Through interdisciplinary exchange, we propose a preliminary typology of ethics-informed methods and approaches based on two main dimensions, namely theory-grounded approaches to theoretically-flexible techniques and assessment to accompaniment. This mapping intends to help navigate the ethical qualities of selected methods from both disciplines, and it aims to create a platform for fruitful interdisciplinary conversations.

Background: The etiology of lipoedema remains unclear, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Current treatment primarily consists of general lifestyle recommendations, with effective self-management being essential for integrating these recommendations into daily life. However, no self-management interventions currently address the unique needs of people with lipoedema. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based, theory-informed intervention to enhance self-management in people with lipoedema using the Intervention Mapping (IM) approach. Methods: Following the first four steps of the IM approach, this study used a participatory methodology involving stakeholders, empirical data, and theory. Steps included: 1) needs assessment; 2) identification of outcomes, performance objectives, and change objectives; 3) selection of behavioural change methods; and 4) development of program components. Results: The resulting intervention includes a program for people with lipoedema and a training program for healthcare professionals (HCPs). The intervention aims to empower patients to engage in self-management and equip HCPs to provide effective support. Key determinants targeted include self-efficacy, self-regulation skills, knowledge, attitudes, and social facilitation. The program for people with lipoedema consists of seven themes aligned with self-management behaviours and is delivered through 19 sessions: seven one-on-one sessions, one session involving supportive individuals, and 11 group sessions. The program for HCPs is delivered through six group sessions, each focusing on the core skills HCPs need to effectively deliver self-management support to their patients. Conclusion: The IM approach effectively guided a systematic, transparent, and reproducible development process. Grounded in established theories and behavioural change methods, the intervention provides a strong foundation for implementation and evaluation among people with lipoedema. The fifth and sixth steps of IM are considered future priorities.
