Julia F. Chris­ten­se­na, Anna Lam­b­rechts, Frank E. Pollick und Anto­ni Gomi­la haben die psy­cho­lo­gi­sche Wir­kung von Bal­let­fi­gu­ren unter­sucht (Affec­ti­ve respon­ses to dance).

„… more posi­ti­ve emo­ti­ons in respon­se to clips that invol­ved the dancer per­forming the atti­tu­de posi­ti­on … than to clips that did not invol­ve any roun­ded move­ments.“

„Par­ti­ci­pan­ts felt more posi­ti­ve emo­ti­on when the leg was rai­sed at all com­pared with not being rai­sed – a more impres­si­ve feat – but the­re was no increase in posi­ti­ve emo­ti­on for leg rai­ses that were hig­her and more dif­fi­cult. The rese­ar­chers said this sug­gests that, in con­trast with gym­nastics, „affect is indu­ced from dance through the qua­li­ty of the expres­si­ve inten­ti­on of the move­ment – not just by its qua­li­ty (e.g. how stret­ched or extre­me)“.“

Ich fin­de zwei Din­ge beson­ders inter­es­sant:

1. Run­de Bewe­gun­gen bewir­ken posi­ti­ve­re Emo­tio­nen als ecki­ge.
2. Die emo­tio­na­le Qua­li­tät einer Aus­füh­rung hat mehr Ein­fluss auf die emo­tio­na­le Bewer­tung als ath­le­ti­sche.
