1 Synesthetic associations and psychopathological symptoms Marcel Necká Abstract Synesthesia in general is a phenomenon of intersensory and intrasensory linkage that may be observed in various conditions including artistic creativity and also manifests in conditions of various brain dysfunctions and injuries. Synesthesia is a phenomenon represented by transmodal associative connections that may represent a continuum from strong synesthetic phenomena to its mild forms that may enable creation of "synesthetic" metaphors. This study is focused on projective assessments of word-color association and their relationship to psychopathological measures reflecting stress, depression, dissociation and other psychometric measures in 154 participants selected from general population. The results are in agreement with previous reported studies suggesting that lighter colors are more frequently associated with positive emotional meanings. In addition the results indicate significant relationships of color- word associations to some specific words with depression, anxiety, alexithymia and symptoms of traumatic stress. These results are in ac-cordance with existing findings in context of the so-called metaphorical synesthesia where significant role might be attributed to color intensity. In this context, results of this...
The synesthetic connections of associative processes and color symbolism.
NECKÁŘ, Marcel
Main topic of this bachelor's work is synesthesia. Important part of this work is literature review with aim to find deeper contexts between the associative processes and their colour expression. In the theoretical part author presents the phenomenon of the synesthesia on the general level of recent state of the art from historical point of view in science and art. In the empirical part of the work author is focussed mainly on the metaphorical aspects of human perception and processing of words and colours and related associative processes. In this context there is analogy to the language of the unconscious, creative processes that lead to projection of internal associations into colours. CAT (colour association test) and questionnaires for psychopathology were used for assessment of relationships between the degree of deepness of colours (on the continuum from light colours to dark) and psychopathology conditions.
