Interventions/Control_1

In a room with the appropriate environment, participants are asked to fill out a questionnaire (short version of the Multifaceted Emotion Scale). A wireless electrocardiogram (GMC Mem Calc/Banally Light) is attached to measure autonomic nerve activity, and measurement with the electrocardiogram begins. The participants are asked to remain at rest in a seated position for 5 minutes. After that, they are given a foot bath (water temperature 40C) for 15 minutes. After the foot bath, the researcher wipes the moisture off the participants' feet. The participants are asked to remain at rest in a seated position for 5 minutes, after which measurement with the electrocardiogram is stopped and the electrocardiogram is removed. After that, participants are asked to fill out a questionnaire (short version of the Multifaceted Emotion Scale).

Interventions/Control_2

In a room with the appropriate environment, participants are asked to fill out a questionnaire (short version of the Multifaceted Emotion Scale). A wireless electrocardiogram (GMC Mem Calc/Banally Light) is attached to measure autonomic nerve activity, and measurement with the electrocardiogram begins. The participants are asked to remain at rest in a seated position for 25 minutes, and when the time has elapsed, measurement with the electrocardiogram is stopped and the electrocardiogram is removed. After that, participants are asked to fill out a questionnaire (short version of the Multifaceted Emotion Scale).
