Research showed that hospital clown interventions can have a beneficial effect for patients in need of care, but the empirical evidence is thin, inconsistent and methodologically not free of criticism (Dionigi, Flangini & Gremigni, 2012). There is a lack of research that investigates the fine-grained changes in the emotional states of recipients of hospital clown interventions in comparison to other types of interventions. This thesis aimed at identifying the uniqueness of hospital clown interventions in their effects on individuals using a sound empirical methodology (subjective and objective assessment instruments, controlled experimental design). It comprises three empirical parts. In Part One, an assessment instrument sensitive to the induction of clown-specific emotional states was developed (the 29 Clown Emotion List, CLEM-29). Two studies were conducted to examine the usefulness of the instrument in the evaluation of hospital clown interventions. Study 1 hypothesized that the CLEM-29 represents state ratings sufficiently different from existing instruments for the assessment of emotional states and is more specific in predicting the total amount of positive affect in response to clowns than existing state scales. For the study, 119 adults watched two videos of clown interventions (a circus clown and a hospital clown), and rated their emotional state on the CLEM-29 as well as on two broader mood scales. Results showed some empirical overlap of the CLEM-29 ratings with general scales of mood, but many CLEM-29 ratings specific to hospital clowns (e.g., feeling connected to the clown, feeling touched) did not strongly relate to exiting scales. Furthermore, ratings from the CLEM-29 outperformed the existing scales in the prediction of the total amount of positive affect. Study 2 in Part One (N = 183 adult observers) aimed at identifying the unique effects of hospital clowns on the emotional state of observers, and therefore investigated the II differences in elicited emotional states in response to hospital clowns, circus clowns and nurses. Four factors were found (amusement, transcendence, arousal and unease), which successfully distinguished between emotional states elicited by hospital clowns, circus clowns and nurses. Transcendence (which describes the recipients being uplifted and surpassing the ordinary) emerged as a core component of hospital clowning in that hospital clowns elicit a combination of amusement and feeling state that go beyond the typical humor response. Both samples used in Part One consisted of individuals observing hospital clown interventions. To replicate and extend the results, in the following parts the effects on the emotional state were investigated with a sample of adult hospitalized patients. In Part Two, the CLEM-29 was presented to a group of 42 adult hospitalized patients involved in a hospital clown intervention to investigate whether the emotional states identified by experts and laypersons actually exist during a real clown-patient interaction. The study used a controlled experimental design within a natural hospital setting to examine the degree of similarity of emotions elicited when observing the intervention and when being involved in the intervention. Additionally, the experiment was designed to gain more insight into the unique effects of hospital clown interventions on patients in comparison to other types of intervention typically used in hospitals (e.g., a nurse assessment). Results showed that the hospital clown intervention elicited higher levels of self-reported amusement than a nurse intervention (while no difference was found for transcendence and unease). No differences were found between the emotional state of patients observing the intervention and patients involved in the intervention. Again a combination of transcendence and humor (here: the level of perceived funniness) best predicted the total amount of positive affect after the hospital clown intervention, supporting the notion that a hospital clown intervention replicates and exceeds the results from previous research. Importantly, the experiment had a higher internal validity than previous studies; however, external validity was limited, as only one III clown pair was used and thus no effects of different humor types were investigated, and results were valid only for the adult sample of patients in a rehabilitation center. Furthermore, no objective assessment of emotions was used, and no effects of individual differences in the emotional reaction of patients were investigated, which was done in Part Three. Part Three only took into consideration the emotional reaction to the hospital clown intervention, and studied the facial display of enjoyment (Duchenne smile; Ekman, 2003) elicited by hospital clowns compared to false smiles (Non-Duchenne smile; N = 26). It aimed at validating the subjective emotional experiences of patients with an objective assessment method. The study furthermore examined individual differences of patients in their habitual susceptibility to smiling and laughing. Trait cheerfulness has been identified to predict the emotional experience and observable behavior of individuals in several humor studies (Ruch & Hofmann, 2012), and was therefore defined as a potential factor in influencing the emotional state of patients during an interaction with a hospital clown. Results identified the Duchenne smile as the predominant facial display of patients during the intervention (76% of all smiles were smiles of enjoyment). Additionally, patients with a higher frequency of Duchenne smiles also reported higher levels of perceived funniness of the clown visit, global positive feelings, transcendence and enjoyment of participating in the study, which demonstrated a high convergence of subjectively and objectively assessed emotional states. Individual differences in trait cheerfulness influenced the frequency of Duchenne smiles (high trait cheerful individuals had higher frequencies of Duchenne smiles than low trait cheerful individuals, and reported higher levels of positive emotions), indicating that the success of a hospital clown intervention depends, among other factors, on the general susceptibility of individuals to humor. The thesis made an important contribution to the understanding of the elicited emotional states in observers and participants of hospital clown intervention, and provided a IV suitable self-report instrument, which can be of use for future studies. The use of the standardized experimental design in Part Two and Three enhanced the internal validity as it reduced the likelihood for systematic errors. Results presented in the thesis are of use to clown organizations training clowns,

  • An Earthly Cosmology
    Forum on Religion and Ecology Indigenous Traditions and Ecology Annotated Bibliography Abram, David. Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology. New York and Canada: Vintage Books, 2011. As the climate veers toward catastrophe, the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land. For too long we’ve ignored the wild intelligence of our bodies, taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance. Abram’s writing subverts this distance, drawing readers ever closer to their animal senses in order to explore, from within, the elemental kinship between the human body and the breathing Earth. The shape-shifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in this book. --------. The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World. New York: Vintage, 1997. Abram argues that “we are human only in contact, and conviviality, with what is not human” (p. ix). He supports this premise with empirical information, sensorial experience, philosophical reflection, and the theoretical discipline of phenomenology and draws on Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of perception as reciprocal exchange in order to illuminate the sensuous nature of language. Additionally, he explores how Western civilization has lost this perception and provides examples of cultures in which the “landscape of language” has not been forgotten. The environmental crisis is central to Abram’s purpose and despite his critique of the consequences of a written culture, he maintains the importance of literacy and encourages the release of its true potency.

  • “Send in the Clowns!”, Or the Imagination at Work: the Narratives of Three Pediatric Ward Clowns
    Studia paedagogica vol. 19, n. 4, 2014 www.studiapaedagogica.cz DOI: 10.5817/SP2014-4-5 “SEND IN THE CLOWNS!”, OR THE IMAGINATION AT WORK: THE NARRATIVES OF THREE PEDIATRIC WARD CLOWNS FRANCESCA GOBBO Abstract The article presents an interpretation of three narratives collected from three young professionals who volunteer as clowns for the young patients of a pediatric ward in a northern Italian hospital. Through their narratives, the clowns illustrate the role that imagination has in offering a different perspective on a given condition and context (in this case, illness and medical rules), and thereby in contributing to the strengthening of patient resources. The narratives, together with the notes from participant observation, trace the processes whereby the narrators came to identify with, and problematize, the characters of the whiteface clown and the Auguste type clown that the author first encountered during her fieldwork among Italian travelling entertainers, and then researched in the productions of artists (writers, musicians, painters, actors, and film directors). Keywords imagination, clown therapy, identity/identification processes, narrative language 102 FRANCESCA GOBBO Introduction Between 1999 and 2001, one of the research lines I pursued in the area of intercultural education and social justice was focused on the learning experiences of the children of travelling entertainers.
