Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a sensory phenomenon characterised by a pleasant tingling sensation in the scalp that radiates throughout the body in response to specific triggers. Using self-reported measures, the current study sought to establish if regular ASMR elicitation over a one-week period bestowed significant improvements in mood in comparison to a mindfulness intervention and control group. Findings suggest ASMR is an ineffective long-term intervention for improving mood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
