概要 Twenty adults participated in all combinations of two focal-length conditions (long or short) and two head-inclination conditions (upward or downward) consecutively. The participants' saliva was then examined to determine α-amylase levels and assess their physiological states; to assess emotional states after each condition, participants were required to complete several self-report questionnaires. Two-way analyses of variance were conducted, and the results showed that focal length exerted significant effects on their psychological states, but the effect of head inclination on the psychological state was only partially significant. The findings imply that focal length, rather than head inclination, primarily affected psychological states. It is noteworthy that previous studies' results regarding the effect of head inclination on emotional states may have mistakenly indicated a relationship because focal length coincides with head inclination.
