Description:Academic dissertation.The present work summarizes the results of a series of experiments that focused on the emotional effects of music per se, in particular background music on other activities such as reading or listening to news messages, as well as on the potential moderating influence of various individual difference variables on the relationship of music with emotional responses. We defined emotions as processes that are influenced by various interactive components, such as musical attributes (e.g., tempo, harmony, musical genre), individual attributes(e.g., musical preferences, personality), and contextual attributes (e.g., music in connection with everyday activities or multi modal information). In order to control the various factors related to musical emotions, we proposed a multidimensional research approach, which consists of (a) measuring subjective responses, psychophysiological responses, and various traits, and (b) examining the relationships between the musical, individual, and contextual attributes that may influence emotions. The results suggest, for example, that music is a multidimensional phenomenon, and that musical emotions are heterogeneous and hierarchical. The results also suggest that music often arouses emotions that are very similar to the ones it is evaluated as being expressive of. We also found that the interaction between personality and musical stimuli can usually be explained by similarity-attraction. That is, people are attracted to persons or media stimuli similar to their own personality. The results also suggest that the interaction between (background) music and some other stimuli (e.g., reading)can usually be explained by mood congruency (i.e., individuals preferentially process emotional stimuli that are emotionally congruent with each other and/or with their current mood state). In sum, the multidimensional research approach seems to produce many interesting results that are presumably more precise than those yielded by previous research on emotional effects of music.However, it should be acknowledged that more research is needed to understand the functions of different components of musical emotions.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
