May 3, 2018, University of the West of England
Taking up colouring can help reduce stress and improve creativity in adults, a study by a researcher at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) has revealed.
Together with her fellow researchers, psychologist Dr. Nicola Holt carried out two studies with undergraduate students to study the benefits of colouring in pictures.
In the first study, 47 first-year undergraduates (36 of them female) attended a session in which they were asked to take part in reading and colouring. They completed various psychological tests at the start of the session and after taking part in each activity.
