Full textAbstract:
According to folk psychology, instrumental music regularly elicits emotions in listeners. Philosophers and psychologists such as Kivy, Konecni and Zangwill have questioned the existence of these musically elicited emotions, arguing that instrumental music elicits moods or aesthetic judgments rather than emotions. I defend the folk psychological position against these skeptics. The first chapter sets up the debate surrounding musically elicited emotions, while chapters two and three defend the thesis that instrumental music elicits emotions against the critics’ arguments. Chapter four outlines the implications of this defense for a variety of fields.

Mood classification of music is an emerging domain of music information retrieval. In the approach presented here features extracted from an audio file are used in combination with the affective value of song lyrics to map a song onto a psychologically based emotion space. The motivation behind this system is the lack of intuitive and contextually aware playlist generation tools available to music listeners. The need for such tools is made obvious by the fact that digital music libraries are constantly expanding, thus making it increasingly difficult to recall a particular song in the library or to create a playlist for a specific event. By combining audio content information with context-aware data, such as song lyrics, this system allows the listener to automatically generate a playlist to suit their current activity or mood.

Mazzoni, Antonella. "Mood Glove : enhancing mood in film music through haptic sensations for an enriched film experience." Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 2018. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/39757.
Full textAbstract:
This research explores a new way of enhancing audience experience in film entertainment, presenting the design and implementation of a wearable prototype system that uses haptic sensations to intensify moods in lm music. The aim of this work is to enrich the musical experience of film audiences and might also have implications on the hearing-impaired, providing them with a new enhanced emotional experience while watching a movie. Although there has been previous work into music displays of a visual and haptic nature, and on the importance of music in film, there is no documented research on musical enhancement experience in film entertainment. This work focuses on the mood conveyed by film music in order to understand what role it plays in creating the film experience, and also explores the possibility of enhancing those feelings through haptic sensations. Drawing on HCI and interaction design principles, the design of a piece of haptic wearable technology is proposed and used as the tool for user studies. This research contributes to the fields of: HCI, interaction design, user experience design, multimodal interaction, creative technology, wearable technology, haptics, entertainment technology and film music. This work also provides a set of design suggestions to aid future research and designers of haptic sensations for media enhancement. Proposed guidelines are based on a number of empirical findings that describe and explain aspects of audience emotional response to haptics, providing some first evidence that there is a correlation between vibrotactile stimuli (such as frequency and intensity) and perceived feelings.

Irobunda, Cynthia. "The Effect of Mood on Persuasion: The Role of Music and Dance in Mood Induction." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/1090.
Full textAbstract:
Previous literature has shown how mood influences persuasion. The aim of this study is to investigate how the persuasion and elaboration of strong and weak arguments are increased or decreased by positive and negative moods, that will be induced through distinct video selections. Participants will be asked to watch a video that incorporates specific music and dancing to induce a positive or negative mood. This study is a 2 mood induction (positive vs. negative) X 2 argument strength (strong vs. weak) design. The results of the two-way ANOVA will show that elaboration is suspected to decrease when one is in a positive mood, but increase in a negative mood. Strong arguments are expected to be more persuasive than weak arguments. Mood and dance will successfully induce positive and negative mood. Mood and argument strength will influence persuasion and elaboration. Implications for this study are expected to further research on how to use music and dance in persuasive appeals, and how mood plays a role in emotional decision-making, especially within advertisements.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the effects of verbal suggestion and music listening on mood changes of college students. The 135 volunteers were randomly assigned to one of three conditions (Condition 1/somber depiction with music, Condition 2/pleasant depiction with music, or Condition 3/music only). The Profile of Mood States was administered before and after each condition. Significant differences (p<.05) were found between pre and posttest scores within the groups; however, no significant differences were found among the groups for these same measures.
A music questionnaire was administered following the posttest which examined the subjects' preference for the music played, the frequency of experiencing images while listening to music, and their opinion concerning whether the depiction complemented the music. Implications of the results are discussed, and suggestions for future research are given.

Thesis advisor: Elizabeth A. KensingerThesis advisor: Ellen Winner
Like it or not, music is everywhere. Our lives are accompanied by an omnipresent personal soundtrack—whether we are on our way to work, at the grocery store, at a movie, watching TV, or simply relaxing at home. It seems that the only way human beings have been able to tolerate this extraneous stimulus is, simply, by not consciously attending to it. Otherwise, we would most likely crash our cars, purchase the wrong items at the store, and never quite understand what happened in that movie we had just seen. Despite the technological advances in music recording and production (and, in turn, availability), very little psychological research has focused on the effects of music processing (especially at the unconscious level) on memory consolidation and storage. What previous memory research has shown is that human beings tend to exhibit an attentional enhancement for emotional stimuli when presented alongside non-emotional stimuli (Reisberg & Heuer 2004). Specifically, this finding has demonstrated that emotional events promote memory for "central" components of an event, while having a reverse effect for an event's "periphery." In the current study, I employed the medium of film in order to apply this hypothesis to our musical world. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: 1) a "no music" group, in which participants viewed a film clip in silence; 2) a "with music" group, in which participants viewed the same clip with the film's original, low-quality (and low arousal) recorded soundtrack; and 3) a "re-mastered music" group, in which participants viewed the film clip with a higher quality (and higher arousal) soundtrack. Three main results were found, all of which either aligned with or extended the findings of Reisberg & Heuer to include the domain of music as a modulatory force in the formation of emotional memories

Full textAbstract:
The background explains musical concepts of consonance, dissonance and quartal harmony which are the central parts of this work. Emotion in- and application of music is explained as well, to give an understanding to how the music is being used. The problem is what was studied, and the method shows how it was to be studied. The goal of this work was to see what kind of harmony is better at inducing stress in a player playing a game, quartal or triad harmony. Two different harmonizations of the same songs were composed and implemented into a game sequence. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were held to collect data. The result of this study showed that both harmonizations induced the same amount of stress, not leading to any concrete answer.

Priest, David-Lee. "Characteristics and effects of motivational music in exercise." Thesis, Brunel University, 2004. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/2914.
Full textAbstract:
The research programme had three principal objectives. First, the evaluation and extension of the extant conceptual framework pertaining to motivational music in exercise settings. Second, the development of a valid instrument for assessing the motivational qualities of music: The Brunel Music Rating Inventory-2 (BMRI-2). Third, to test the effects of motivational and oudeterous (lacking in both motivational and de-motivational qualities) music in an externally-valid setting. These objectives were addressed through 4 studies. First, a series of open-ended interviews were conducted with exercise leaders and participants (N = 13), in order to investigate the characteristics and effects of motivational music in the exercise setting. The data were content analysed to abstract thematic categories of response. These categories were subsequently evaluated in the context of relevant conceptual frameworks. Subsequently, a sample of 532 health-club members responded to a questionnaire that was designed to assess the perceived characteristics of motivational music. The responses were analysed across age groups, gender, frequency of attendance (low, medium, high), and time of attendance (morning, afternoon, evening). The BMRI-2 was developed in order to address psychometric weaknesses that were associated with its forbear, the BMRI. A refined item pool was created which yielded an 8-item instrument that was subjected to confirmatory factor analysis. A single-factor model demonstrated acceptable fit indices across three different pieces of music, two samples of exercise participants, and both sexes. The BMRI-2 was used to select 20 pieces of motivational music, which were delivered in a health club gymnasium. It was found that health club members (N = 112) exercised for longer under the condition of motivational music as opposed to oudeterous music (the club’s typical output); however, no differences were noted in terms of affective response.

Full textAbstract:
Music is often studied in terms of its artistic value and expressiveness. While these are important characteristics, there are other observations we can make of scientific value, such as the effects of music on the human anatomy. At present, however, there is a general lack of scientific studies focusing on the effect music makes on specific physiological responses in the body. A limited range of these studies has included examinations of music preferences and correlating personality characteristics of participants, while some others have investigated the effects of music lessons on intelligence. While the previously mentioned research has contributed to some scientific understanding with regard to human physiology, it has not addressed how specific physiological processes of the human body responds to music. Through my own research, I hope to add to the body of musical research and health sciences, and help to close the gap between these two fields. In this study, one selection from a pool of five audio examples of different musical genres will be played to participants while their heart rate is monitored with a wrist-worn device in order to gauge possible differences in heart rate that might occur as they experience music. This assessment will also be paired with a self-perceived mood questionnaire by my participants in order to identify any correlations between the two. After my data collection is complete, I will statistically analyze the information and examine any parallels between the musical selections, genre, heart rate, and self-perceived mood. By analyzing this data, I hope to gain insight into possible human physiological responses as the subjects are exposed to different musical examples from various genres. I also hope to investigate the psychological realm of music, and determine its practical use in the medical field with regard to music therapy, which can lead to various treatments in post-traumatic stress disorder, and communicative diseases.B.M.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the efficacy of a music therapy protocol on mood states and levels of group cohesiveness in adult oncology patients. Eleven oncology patients in two groups (ages 30 to 84 years) took part in the study over a ten-week period of time (ten participants completed the study). During that period, participants took part in eight music therapy sessions consisting of two types of interventions: 1) four "music making" sessions (where the mechanism for change included the process of making music) and 2) four "music responding" sessions (where the mechanism included the process of responding to music). The two types of music therapy sessions and their effectiveness on improving mood states and group cohesiveness were examined. The Profile of Mood States- Short Form (POMS-SF) was used to assess changes in participants' mood states. A content analysis, attendance records, and a questionnaire were used to assess levels of group cohesiveness. Results showed significant improvement in mood state scores (from pre session levels to post sessions levels) after involvement in all music therapy sessions. Similar significant findings were found within each of the "music making" and "music responding" conditions but no differences were found when comparisons were made between those conditions. No statistically significant effects were found with respect to group cohesiveness measures. Study implications and future research directions are discussed.

Stordahl, Julie J. "The Influence of Music on Depression, Affect, and Benefit Finding Among Women at the Completion of Treatment for Breast Cancer." Scholarly Repository, 2009. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/oa_dissertations/337.
Full textAbstract:
Women at the completion of treatment for breast cancer experience relief along with continued physical and psychological distress. This study explored the effectiveness of two forms of a Relaxation Intervention in providing psychosocial support to women at the completion of treatment for breast cancer. The two conditions included (1) Music-Assisted Relaxation (MAR), in which contemporary, sedative music was paired with standard, spoken relaxation directives, and (2) Relaxation Alone (RA), in which only spoken relaxation directives were used. Individual sessions were held once each week for four weeks. This study included a mixed method design. Quantitative measures included The Center for Epidemiologic Studies - Depression Scale, The Profile of Mood States - Short Form, and The Benefit Finding Scale, a measure of psychological growth. Qualitative measures included Participant Diaries and a Semi-Structured Interview. A total of 20 women participated in this study, with 10 women in each of the two intervention conditions. Results revealed a statistically significant reduction in Depression for all participants over the course of the intervention. In addition, participants receiving MAR showed a statistically significantly greater improvement in Positive Affect during Week Three of the intervention when compared with participants receiving RA. Review of effect size calculations indicated that MAR had a stronger influence on Total Distress, Positive Affect, and Negative Affect than RA. Results from the qualitative analyses supported the quantitative findings, showing that the both forms of the Relaxation Intervention promoted reductions in Depression, seen in improved energy levels and better sleep. The Relaxation Intervention also led to improvements in Positive Affect, seen in greater focus of attention and elicitation of positive images and memories, especially for those participants in the MAR condition. In summary, the Relaxation Intervention used in this study was effective in reducing Depression among all participants. During specific weeks, all participants reported a decrease in Total Distress and Negative Affect and an increase in Positive Affect. MAR enhanced the effectiveness of the intervention, primarily through the promotion of positive mood states.

Full textAbstract:
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S. with approximately 795,000 Americans experiencing a stroke each year. In addition to common difficulties with communication and physical impairments following stroke, psychosocial impacts warrant assessment and treatment. Experiencing a stroke can lead to depression, mood disorders, and difficulties with emotion regulation. It is well documented that post-stroke depression (PSD) affects a third of stroke survivors. Higher levels of depression and depressive symptoms are associated with a less efficient use of rehabilitation services, poor functional outcomes, greater odds of hospital readmission, negative impacts on social participation, and increased mortality. The acute phase of stroke recovery may be a key factor in influencing the depression trajectory with early depression predicting poor longitudinal outcomes. The current approach to treating PSD is medication. However, psychotherapy approaches have demonstrated more promise in preventing PSD. Investigations into music-based treatments have shown encouraging results following acquired brain injuries with active music therapy interventions demonstrating large effect sizes for mood improvement. Therefore, the purpose of this three-part dissertation was to examine the effects of active music therapy on mood and describe the clinical decision making process of using music therapy to target mood elevation for hospitalized adults following a first-time acute ischemic stroke.
The first study examined the effect of one treatment of active music therapy on mood following a first-time ischemic stroke during acute hospitalization. Active music therapy was defined as music making interventions that elicit and encourage active participation from participants. The Faces Scale was used to assess mood immediately prior to and following treatment. Forty-four adults received at least one treatment. A significant change in mood was found following one treatment. Comment analysis indicated that participants viewed music therapy as a positive experience.
The second study investigated the impact of receiving two treatments of active music therapy on mood as compared to one. No significant difference was found between those who received one treatment and those who received two. Both dosing groups demonstrated significant mood improvement; however Group 2 (two treatments) had more severe strokes and did not improve until the second session.
The purpose of the third study was to describe the clinical decision-making (CDM) process of a music therapist targeting mood elevation for hospitalized patients following a first-time acute ischemic stroke. The Three Phase Process Model of Collaborative Self-Study was selected as a guiding qualitative methodological framework. Data was collected from four sources: (a) electronic medical records, (b) audio recordings of eight music therapy treatments, (c) a researcher journal, and (d) patient and caregiver/visitor comments. Results indicate that factors influencing CDM included progression through a four-stage treatment process, use of a variety of music-based and therapy-based techniques, and the monitoring and influencing of participant levels of arousal, affect, salience, and engagement.
In conclusion, active music therapy during acute hospitalization following a first-time ischemic stroke is effective in significantly improving mood. Components of clinical decision making to elevate mood are illustrated in a provided conceptual framework. Continued investigation is warranted with consideration of stroke severity, dosing amounts, and additional outcomes of interest. Longitudinal investigation is needed to evaluate the impact of treatment on the trajectory of post-stroke depression.

Bautch, Katie A. "Feasibility and Effectiveness of Self-Administered Mood Vectoring Playlists in the Treatment of Anxiety Symptoms." Scholarly Commons, 2021. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/3736.
Full textAbstract:
This is a mixed-methods pre-experimental clinical effectiveness trial that examines the effectiveness of a self-administered one-directional mood vectoring playlist in the management of symptoms of anxiety. This study used the Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory, as well as a self-report Likert-type scale where participants rated their anxiety symptom severity, to explore the impact of the playlist intervention. Qualitative interviews sought to identify themes common among participants who were daily high responders and those who were daily low responders to the intervention in order to determine for whom this intervention would be most or least effective.Management of anxiety symptoms is particularly important at the moment, as mental health concerns and levels of anxiety are rising amid coronavirus lockdowns and stay at home orders. This intervention has a strong basis in music therapy research, neurological research, and psychotherapy treatments that are effectively used in the management of anxiety symptoms. Findings indicated a significant relationship between the intervention and a reduction in both state and trait anxiety scores over the full two-week course of treatment (p < 0.001). There was also a significant relationship found from pre-listening to post-listening on a daily basis (p = 0.003). This study has a small sample size and results should be interpreted with caution, but this is an indication that further studies on this intervention are warranted.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of participation in music therapy support groups (MTSG) on physical, psychological, and social functioning of cancer patients and caregivers. Participants were 24 cancer patients and 17 caregivers randomly assigned to experimental (n=21) or wait-list control (n=20) groups. The primary dependent variables were mood, coping, social support, and quality of life as measured by the Profile of Mood States (POMS), State Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) and Trait (STAI-T) scales, Personal Resource Questionnaire 85-Part 2 (PRQ85-Part 2), and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General Form (FACT-G). These measures, completed by all participants at baseline, midpoint, and end of three weeks, assessed the long-term effect (three weeks) of MTSG participation. The Music Therapy Support Group Numerical Rating Scales (MTSG-NRS) evaluated the short-term effect of each 60-minute music therapy session on mood, pain, stress, anxiety, and quality of life. All participants also completed the Music Therapy Support Group Assessment Form (MTSG-AF) beforehand to provide demographic information and music preferences, and the Music Therapy Support Group Evaluation Questionnaire (MTSG-EQ) after participation in music therapy sessions. Experimental participants completed six MTSG sessions over a three-week period; interventions included singing, songwriting, playing instruments, movement with music, creative arts with music, and music-assisted relaxation. The data from the POMS, STAI-S, STAI-T, PRQ85-Part 2, and FACT-G questionnaires were analyzed using five individual repeated measures ANOVA. The MTSG experimental group showed a significant improvement in mood and a significant decrease in anxiety as a result of participation in the music therapy support groups; the control group showed no significant change over time. The MTSG also showed improvement, though non-significant, on social support and quality of life; the control group remained stable on these measures over time. Data from the MTSG-NRS were analyzed using a Wilcoxon Rank Sum test. Analyses revealed that the MTSG achieved significant improvement in mood and significant decrease in stress and anxiety throughout each 60-minute MTSG session. Participation also significantly decreased the perception of pain and significantly improved quality of life in four of six sessions.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore treatment options for aggression-related disorders. Two activities were examined to validate their use as frustration-reduction techniques --yoga and therapeutic drumming. Twenty-two college students were randomly assigned to participate in one of three groups--yoga, drumming, or silence (control)--following experimentally-induced frustration using a computerized Stroop color-word technique. Self-reported emotion levels and physiological responses were tracked at baseline, post-frustration, and post-treatment to measure responses to treatment. Results indicate that self-reported frustration levels were significantly reduced in all experimental groups, but physiologic responses showed no significant changes. A Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) indicated no significant difference in lowered frustration for any of the treatment groups, suggesting that they are equally effective. These results also suggest that the passage of time may be key to successful emotion regulation. Further study should examine control variables and methodology to identify other factors that may be involved in regulating aggressive emotions.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this thesis is to study the way that adaptive audio can be used in digital games and how it can be used to portray different moods to the listener, how games can reflect different feelings and how quickly those feelings can change. Games audio environment is significant to be able to adapt to the ever changing narrative of the game. The purpose is to gain insight in how immersion in digital games can be improved with the use of adaptive audio to study if there’s an easy way to implement a system where audio can be mixed and adjusted in realtime to mirror the events in the game and project accurate feelings. To study this we will create a parameter based system in the sound engine of the game we will make during the production phase, with different parameters based on a number of different factors . Keywords: Adaptive Audio, Parameter System, Mood Music, Digital Games, Game Production Syftet med detta kandidatarbete är att studera hur adaptiva ljud kan användas i digitala spel, hur de kan användas för att beskriva olika stämningar till lyssnaren, och hur spel kan spegla olika känslor och hur snabbt dessa känslor kan förändras. Det är viktigt att ett spels ljudmiljö kan anpassa sig till den ständigt föränderliga berättelsen i spelet. Syftet är att få en inblick i hur immersion i digitala spel kan förbättras med användning av adaptiva ljud att studera om det finns ett enkelt sätt att implementera ett system där ljudet kan mixas och anpassas i realtid för att spegla händelserna i spelet och återskapa äkta känslor. För att undersöka detta kommer vi skapa ett parameterbaserat system i ljudmotorn till spelet som vi kommer göra under produktionsfasen, med olika parameterar som är baserade på ett antal olika faktorer.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of dance and exercise to music on mood in those with Parkinson's disease (PD). A series of five studies were conducted in order to explore whether there are physical and psychological benefits of dance and exercise to music for those with PD. This programme of research collected data in a variety of ways, over a number of weeks (study one - 10 weeks), through survey data (study two) and in peoples own homes (study three, four and five). These studies have focused on the effect of these activities on mood and as the programme of research developed, the role of socialisation became a key factor. These studies have concluded that mood is significantly improved following dance and movement to music, but that this may be moderated by social interaction. Mood effects observed during a social dance class initially appeared to be comparable to 30 minutes of exercise to music at home. This suggests that music and movement without the social aspect of a class could also evoke an improvement in mood. After further investigation, however, it appeared that mood may have been affected by the presence of the researcher as a social factor. Overall, this programme of research has suggested that dance and music to movement is a beneficial form of activity but that the social aspect of this is imperative to have an effect on mood.

Adam, Timothey Andrew. "PROCEDURAL MUSIC GENERATION AND ADAPTATION BASED ON GAME STATE." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2014. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/1202.
Full textAbstract:
Video game developers attempt to convey moods to emphasize their game's narrative. Events that occur within the game usually convey success or failure in some way meaningful to the story's progress. Ideally, when these events occur, the intended change in mood should be perceivable to the player. One way of doing so is to change the music. This requires musical tracks to represent many possible moods, states and game events. This can be very taxing on composers, and encoding the control flow (when to transition) of the tracks can prove to be tricky as well.
This thesis presents AUD.js, a system developed for procedural music generation for JavaScript-based web games. By taking input from game events, the system can create music corresponding to various Western perceptions of music mood. The system was trained with classic video game music. Game development students rated the mood of 80 pieces, after which statistical representations of those pieces were extracted and added into AUD.js. AUD.js can adapt its generated music to new sets of input parameters, thereby updating the perceived mood of the generated music at runtime.
We conducted A/B tests comparing static music, both composed and computer-generated, to dynamically adapting music. We find that AUD.js provides reasonably effective music for games, but that adaptiveness of the music does not necessarily improve player experience over composed music. By conducting a user study during Global Game Jam 2014, we also find that since AUD.js provides a software solution to music composition, it can be a useful tool for game music integration under time pressure.

Music PerformanceD.M.A.
This monograph explores the development and variety of signs for musical expression and discusses strategies for identifying and teaching them, enabling students to communicate musical expressivity. Chapter 1 provides a background for this study, including a brief survey of how writers from ancient times to the present conceived of expression, along with findings from recent psychological research into the connection between emotion and music. Chapter 2 delves into the signs themselves and proposes how students can learn to recognize them at different levels of study. An overview of musical topics and structural features that contribute to musical expression leads to an analysis of the expressive states in the first movement exposition of Mozart's Sonata in C minor, K. 457. Chapter 3 discusses particular strategies for connecting the discovered signs with performance at the piano. To help their students communicate expressively, teachers first need to guide students to a recognition of musical signs, then help them to highlight expressive features through deviations in tempo, dynamics, and articulation. Instructors can use a variety of strategies ranging from metaphors and specific language through aural and physical modeling. Additional work with Hevner's mood wheel, supplemented by student projects in the visual arts, writing, movement, and drama, can create a connection between students and musical expression.

In this work, we focus on automatically classifying music by mood. For this purpose, we propose computational models using information extracted from the audio signal. The foundations of such algorithms are based on techniques from signal processing, machine learning and information retrieval. First, by studying the tagging behavior of a music social network, we find a model to represent mood. Then, we propose a method for automatic music mood classification. We analyze the contributions of audio descriptors and how their values are related to the observed mood. We also propose a multimodal version using lyrics, contributing to the field of text retrieval. Moreover, after showing the relation between mood and genre, we present a new approach using automatic music genre classification. We demonstrate that genre-based mood classifiers give higher accuracies than standard audio models. Finally, we propose a rule extraction technique to explicit our models.En esta tesis, nos centramos en la clasificación automática de música a partir de la detección de la emoción que comunica. Primero, estudiamos cómo los miembros de una red social utilizan etiquetas y palabras clave para describir la música y las emociones que evoca, y encontramos un modelo para representar los estados de ánimo. Luego, proponemos un método de clasificación automática de emociones. Analizamos las contribuciones de descriptores de audio y cómo sus valores están relacionados con los estados de ánimo. Proponemos también una versión multimodal de nuestro algoritmo, usando las letras de canciones. Finalmente, después de estudiar la relación entre el estado de ánimo y el género musical, presentamos un método usando la clasificación automática por género. A modo de recapitulación conceptual y algorítmica, proponemos una técnica de extracción de reglas para entender como los algoritmos de aprendizaje automático predicen la emoción evocada por la música

Music TherapyPh.D.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to determine the effects of pre-transplant music therapy on distress, pain, anxiety, mood, quality of life (QOL), and pain medication use during the preparation period for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Distress, the primary outcome, was measured via the Distress Thermometer. QOL was assessed with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – General 7 (FACT-G7). Participants self-rated pain and anxiety on Numeric Rating Scales (NRS) and mood on the Rogers Happy/Sad Faces Scale. Participants randomized to the experimental group received three music therapy sessions prior to stem cell infusion day. Repeated measures analysis of variance (RMANOVA) was employed to detect differences between groups for distress and QOL, and t-tests were used to detect differences between groups for pain, anxiety, and mood. Data collection is ongoing and will conclude when 50 patients have been accrued. This report presents interim data analysis, with complete data available for 23 participants. The experimental group had higher distress that was statistically significant at baseline and on Day -1. Music therapy did not affect distress but showed other limited beneficial effects. There were no differences between groups at any individual time point for pain, anxiety, or mood. At all three time points, decreases in anxiety from pre-session to post-session assessment were statistically significant in the experimental group. In the first and third music therapy session, differences between pre- and post-session mood scores were statistically significant in a positive direction. Differences in pain medication use could not be calculated because too few participants required pain medication. Although music therapy did not affect the primary outcome of distress, the positive short-term effects on anxiety and limited positive effects on mood are important to acknowledge. The small sample size likely contributed to the lack of findings on distress, although the longitudinal assessment of this outcome may have also been a factor. This study provides an initial understanding of how music therapy may be effective on distress and other variables during the pre-transplant hospitalization period for patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT, as it is the first research study to examine this treatment phase. There are few music therapy research studies with patients undergoing HSCT, which leaves many options for future research. It would be worthwhile to explore any short-term effects of music therapy on distress and QOL, as well as longitudinal effects on anxiety and mood. Optimal music therapy session duration and frequency during the pre-transplant hospitalization period remains unknown. Research opportunities exist during other phases of HSCT treatment, such as the out-patient pre-transplant period, duration of hospitalization, or post-transplant follow up. Understanding the effects of music therapy for patients suffering from Graft-Versus-Host Disease could also be beneficial as this is often debilitating and can be life-threatening. Finally, there is a need for qualitative music therapy studies with this patient population, as none currently exist but could provide additional insight for future research studies as well as clinical practice.

Dette studiet undersøkte om det finnes en positiv relasjon mellom korsang og det subjektive velbefinnendet. I undersøkelsen deltok 84 sangere fra 5 kor på både avansert og amatørnivå. Deltagerne fylte i et Mood Adjective Checklist-skjema (MACL: L. Sjöberg, E. Svensson & L.-O. Persson, 1979) før og etter korøvelsen på to forskjellige korøvelser. Resultatene indikerte at korsang påvirket deltagerne signifikant i form av økt velbefinnende, og at sangere mellom 32 og 51 år hadde den største økningen i grad av velbefinnende før og etter korøvelse. Det fantes derimot ingen signifikant forskjell i velbefinnende mellom amatørkor og avansert kor. Resultatene står som et bidrag til tidligere forskning innenfor området, men kan på grunn av det lave deltagerantallet ikke anses være generaliserbart.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Auswirkungen des Musikhörens nach der einmaligen Inhalation eines Gasgemisches aus 35 % CO2 und 65 % O2 auf Emotionen, die aktuelle Stimmung sowie auf die Stress- und Immunparameter Noradrenalin, Leptin, Somatostatin und TNF-α untersucht. Außerdem wurden die Stress- und Immunparameter betreffs ihres Zusammenhangs mit den Emotionen und Stimmungen sowie ihrer Geschlechter- und Tageszeiteneffekte näher betrachtet.
In die Studie wurden 143 gesunde Probanden eingeschlossen, die randomisiert jeweils einer Experimentalgruppe und einer Kontrollgruppe zugeteilt wurden. Die Experimentalgruppe hörte nach der Inhalation des Gasgemisches fröhliche belebende Instrumentalmusik, während die Versuchspersonen der Kontrollgruppe nach Zugabe des Gasgemisches neutrale Zwölftonfolgen dargeboten bekamen. Während des Hörens wurden die Emotionen an Hand standardisierter Fragebögen bewertet. Die aktuelle Stimmung wurde jeweils vor und nach dem Experiment erhoben. Zu 6 definierten Zeitpunkten wurden den Probanden Blutproben entnommen, die auf die Stress- und Immunparameter untersucht wurden.
Dabei zeigte sich die Inhalation des Gasgemisches aus 35 % CO2 und 65 % O2 als wirkungsvoller Stressor, der die Schlüsselmechanismen der humanen Stressantwort zu aktivieren imstande war. Das Hören der Instrumentalmusik erbrachte signifikant positive Effekte auf die Einschätzung der Emotionen und aktuellen Stimmung verglichen mit dem Hören von Zwölftonfolgen. In den Konzentrationen der Stress- und Immunparameter zeigten sich im Vergleich von Instrumentalmusik mit Zwölftonfolgen jedoch keine eindeutigen Unterschiede.
Diese Arbeit liefert damit einen Beleg zur positiven Wirkung von Musik und unterstützt die Bestrebungen, vergleichbare musikalische Stimuli im klinischen Alltag therapeutisch einzusetzen.

É bem conhecida a influência da música no desempenho do exercício no domínio moderado e nos estados de ânimo. Poucos estudos investigaram essa relação em exercícios no domínio intenso e severo. Além disso, a audição de música é bastante disseminada entre praticantes de atividade física, os quais devem selecionar músicas de acordo com suas preferências pessoais. Entretanto, a relação entre a preferência musical e o desempenho e o estado de ânimo não está esclarecido. Desse modo, dois estudos foram propostos.

Full textAbstract:
La musique est présente dans tous les métrages produits par les industries audiovisuelles et cinématographiques. Elle peut préexister au film, avoir pour destination l’industrie traditionnelle de la musique ou être spécialement prévue pour être synchronisée à des images. Dans ce cas, la musique recherchée est généralement perdue dans des bases de media musicaux disposant de leurs propres Systèmes de Recherche d’Information (SRI). Alors que dans le monde anglo-saxon la profession de Music Supervisor (MS) permet d’allouer à cette tâche un vrai spécialiste de l’utilisation de ces systèmes, il n’en est pas de même dans les productions d’Europe continentale. Des MS per accidens s’y trouvent devoir traduire l’humeur musicale désirée en requêtes pour ces SRI qu’ils interrogent parfois pour la première fois. Dans l’optique de rendre cette tâche moins ardue pour des non-spécialistes de la question musicale, nous avons exploré deux voies. L’une envisage la proxémie sémantique pour le nettoyage des nuages de tags mêlant taxinomies et folksonomies, afin de tracer de nouvelles reliances entre media ou écarter des qualifications qualitativement aberrantes. La seconde voie explorée consiste à trouver une manière d’éviter la verbalisation. Après un état de l’art des solutions existantes pour la qualification de l’humeur ou, plus largement, des états émotionnels, solutions développées pour les besoins de nombreuses autres disciplines (psychologie expérimentale, sciences de l’éducation, marketing, etc.), l’analyse conduit au prototypage du dispositif SYM (Spot Your Mood). Par pointage sur un espace de Valence-Arousal, SYM permet de substituer des coordonnées spatiales abstraites relativement intuitives aux qualifiants verbaux. Au-delà du champ musical, SYM a aussi fait l’objet d’autres validations dans la qualification de l’expérience d’utilisateurs ou de spectateurs, ainsi que pour l’aide à l’explicitation de l’humeur chez des publics souffrant de divers handicaps empêchant la verbalisation ou la communicationThe music is part of all films produced within the audiovisual and cinematographic industries. It can preexist the film, be destined to be part of the traditional music industry or to be especially synchronized with pictures. In this case, the music excerpt sought after is usually lost in endless media bases providing their own Information Retrieval Systems (IRS). Whereas in the Anglo-Saxon world Music Supervisors (MS) are genuine experts in the use of these systems, it is not the same across Continental Europe. Per accidens MS are asked to translate the desired musical mood into queries for these IRSs, systems that they are sometimes using for the first time. In order to make this task easier for these non-specialists, we explored two approaches. The first led us to explore the possibilities offered by semantic proxemics in order to clean tag clouds mixing taxonomies and folksonomies to trace new relationships between media or to reject qualitatively aberrant qualifications. The second consisted in finding a way to do so without verbalisation. After a review of extant solutions developed for the needs of many other disciplines (experimental psychology, sciences of education, marketing, etc.), we managed to prototype SYM (Spot Your Mood). Instead of relying on verbalisations, SYM makes it possible to provide relatively intuitive spatial coordinates out of a valence-arousal space. Also, SYM has been put to use for many other adaptations in order to qualify user or spectator experience as well as to help elicit the mood with audiences suffering from various verbal or communicational impairments

Full textAbstract:
This bachelor thesis aims to investigate whether methods of composition can facilitate the creative process and, despite frameworks, produce personal and unique results. It also aims to investigate how to develop a confident and unrestricted artistry. The essays process includes the use of 6 different methods for composition and artistic preparations for the project’s examining concert. These preparations included: body awareness, vocal technique, planning and rehearsals. The result was 4 songs written based on different methods. These songs are presented through a demo recording instead of a concert due to circumstances. The study showed that most of the methods facilitated the creative process without inhibiting a unique and personalized product. The process also led to the realization that the quest for creativity to be painless beneficially should be replaced by awareness that creativity requires courage. Through the process as well as its need for reflection and analysis, insights came about how to develop a confident and unrestricted artistry. Continuity in the practice of musical craftmanship, mental awareness and to work with body awareness to help enhance musical expression are mentioned as three main insights.

Kim, Minpyo. "The revival of a waning moon." Diss., University of Iowa, 2011. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/999.
Full textAbstract:
My dissertation is a musical composition for a chamber ensemble of sixteen players, scored for flute and piccolo, oboe, clarinet in Bb, bassoon, horn in F, trumpet in Bb, trombone, percussion (2 players), piano, violin I, violin II, viola, violoncello, and double bass. It is specifically written for the University of Iowa Center for New Music Ensemble, and has been read by the ensemble twice to secure ideas for orchestration.
The Revival of a Waning Moon is a single-movement work for approximately 15 minutes. The harmonic content of the work are derived from five hexachords that I labeled H-I through H-V: H-I [013478], H-II [012578], H-III [012468], H-IV [012567], and H-V [012479]. Even though all of the six chords are associated with each other to establish overall harmonic control, only H-II is cultivated for its thematic harmony. The subsets from the H-II, such as the trichord [015] and tetrachord [0157], produce melodic ideas and associates with other harmonies throughout the piece.
Metric modulation is utilized between the sections where the rhythmic elements are emphasized. Jajinmori, a Korean traditional rhythmic pattern is employed to describe a Korean folk dance, which is typically performed in the moonlight. Brake drums and gongs are especially used for imitating the sonorities of Korean percussion instruments.
Formally the work is comprised of three parts (ABA'). Each part has a few divisional sections, which are connected and incorporates each other in terms of their harmonic elements, but is developed with various rhythmic gestures in different tempi.
My personal reception of visual images of the waning phase of the moon, more specifically between the waning crescent and new moon, is mainly a sense of loss, sorrow, loneliness, and anger. Do-Hyang Na (1902-1926), tragically and untimely died at a young age, also describes the waning crescent as an expelled princess and a regrettable widow despite of its beauty in his essay Geu-Meum-Dahl.

Music CompositionPh.D.
This dissertation synthesizes critical theories of identity with music theoretical analysis to explore how listeners use popular music as a means of identity construction. Focusing on Radiohead’s 2016 album A Moon Shaped Pool, the dissertation investigates the various sociological and musical frameworks that illuminate how the songs interact with listener expectations in the process of interpretation. Work on popular music and personal expression is already present in sociology, anthropology, musicology, and other disciplines, though that work rarely engages the close readings of musical processes that I employ in the dissertation. Richard Middleton (Studying Popular Music) and Tia DeNora (Music in Everyday Life), for example, apply a wide variety of methodologies toward identifying the complexities of identity and popular music. For the dissertation, though, I focus primarily on how Judith Butler’s conception of interpellation in Giving an Account of Oneself can be used as a model for how musical conventions and listener expectations impact the types of identity positions available to listeners. For Butler, interpellation refers to how frameworks of social norms force subjects to adhere to specific identity positions. This dissertation will explore both the social and musical conventions that allow for nuanced and critical interpretations of popular songs. Although many theorists have probed Radiohead’s music, this dissertation synthesizes robust analytical approaches with hermeneutics in order to explore how Radiohead’s music signifies, both in the context of their acoustic components and with regard to how this music impacts the construction of listener identities. Radiohead’s music is apt for these analyses because it often straddles the line between convention and surprise, opening several avenues for critical and musical scrutiny. I also argue that listeners interact with this music as if the songs are agents themselves––they have powerful emotional and physical effects on us.

Syfte och Forskningsfrågor Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur flygbolag, ur ett företagsperspektiv, kan arbeta med ljudsinnet i form av anpassad musik efter resenärers sinnesstämningar under en flygresa. Detta för att visa hur flygbolagen kan arbeta med musikpsykologi med hjälp av digitaliseringen och därmed skapa mer personliga reseupplevelser för sina konsumenter som även gynnar deras varumärke. Utifrån syftet har vi formulerat följande forskningsfrågor: 1. Hur arbetar flygbolag med ljudsinnet med hjälp av musik under en flygresa? 2. Hur kan flygbolag använda musik för att skapa en önskad sinnesstämning för sina resenärer? 3. På vilka sätt kan anpassad musik under en flygresa främja flygbolagen som varumärke? Metod Vår studie bygger på en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod med en deduktiv forskningsansats med induktiva inslag. Vårt empiriska material har samlats in genom sex semistrukturerade intervjuer och en kvalitativ enkät med öppna frågor till två respondenter. Intervjuerna och enkäten har genomförts med personer inom både musikoch flygbranschen för att få en insikt i ämnet. Slutsatser Det är bevisat att musik kan påverka människors sinnesstämning samt ta bort fokus från oönskat ljud. Om flygbolagen har ett strategiskt arbete med musik under sina flygresor med framtagna spellistor efter sinnesstämningar som resenärerna kan lyssna på individuellt, kan kundvärdet öka. Det i sin tur kan gynna flygbolagets kundrelationer och varumärke.Purpose and research questions The purpose of this thesis is to examine how airlines, from a business perspective, can benefit from working with sound consisting of music adjusted to fit the travellers mood during the flight. We want to show how airlines can use the digitalisation to work with music psychology and thereby create a more personal travel experience for their consumers, which also will favour them as a brand. From this purpose we aim to answer these research questions: 1. How does airlines work with sound by using music during a flight? 2. How can airlines use music to create a desired mood for their travelers? 3. In what ways can adjusted music during a flight benefit airlines as a brand? Method Our study is based on a qualitative research method. It has a deductive research approach with some incorporating inductive elements. Our empirical data is collected through six semistructured interviews and a qualitative questionnaire with two respondents. The interviews were done with people in both the music and the airline industry in order to gain insight in the subject. Conclusion It has been proven that music can affect people's mood and remove focus from unwanted sounds. If airlines have a strategic work with music during their flights with developed playlists for moods that travelers can listen to individually, the customer value can increase. This in turn can benefit the airline's customer relations and brand.

Full textAbstract:
While developing creativity is an important goal of many educational endeavors, creating music, from a music education perspective, is a powerful pedagogical tool. Beyond comparing the relative creativity of individuals' musical creative products (e.g., melodies, songs, lyrics, beats, etc.), research in musical creativity must consider how engaging in the creative process can be an effective teaching tool, what I have termed creativity-based music learning. If music teachers are to develop students' abilities “to experience music as meaningful, informed by sensitive discernments and broad understandings, in each particular musical role engagement in which one becomes involved” (Reimer, 2003, p.214), then we must gain a better understanding of how different aspects of the person and context interact during the creative process.
Based on the available literature, Webster (1987a, 2002) conceived the Model of Creative Thinking in Music as a conceptual model for understanding the importance of various components that are at work in the musical creative process. Since, generally speaking, learning results from thinking of some sort, Webster's model represents a reasonable starting point from which to examine how musical creative thinking leads to musical learning. There is much research in music education and the general creativity literature that has investigated how these various component parts (e.g., music aptitude, personality, motivation, previous experience, context) relate to creativity, but there has yet to be any substantive attempt to understand how all of these various elements simultaneously interrelate during a given musical creative process. More importantly, there is limited research on how creativity-based music learning contributes to important learning outcomes such as students' perceptions of learning from the process, students' self-evaluations of creative products (e.g., songs they have written), the development of conceptual understandings, and the development of musical creative self-efficacy.
The initial primary purpose of this study was to develop and identify a statistical model that best represents the nature of the various interrelationships of components of the musical creative process, as identified in Webster's (2002) model, and as they relate to learning outcomes. Understanding how all of these components relate and ultimately impact various learning outcomes has important implications for how we educate our music students.
Data were collected from students taking a Massive Open Online Course entitled “What is Music?: Finding Your Song,” which was designed, developed, and taught by the researcher, and offered in January 2014 through the Canvas Network. In the course, the question “what is music?” was approached from several perspectives, including Music as Human Activity, Music as Emotion, Music as Physics, and Music as Form. While learning about each perspective, students were encouraged to engage with and complete various musical creative projects (e.g., creating a representative playlist, writing lyrics, writing a melody, writing a song). Such an educational context in which creativity is used as a pedagogical tool provided an opportunity for studying the educational outcomes of such an approach. Embedded within the course were measures of several predictors of learning (based on Webster's model), including past experience in music, personality, music aptitude, contextual support, musical creative self-efficacy, motivation, and situational engagement.
Initial analysis plans included the use of structural equation modeling to (1) compare and contrast the statistical fit of competing models; and (2) examine how each of these constructs not only relate to each other, but also how they each contribute (uniquely and in combination) to various learning outcomes, including perceptions of learning, self-evaluations of creative products, and musical creative self-efficacy. However, a sufficient number of students did not engage in and complete the creative projects, nor did a sufficient number of students complete all of the research items, in order to examine the full structural model. When it became apparent that sufficient data would not be available, the study was re-envisioned to examine questions about why students chose to participate or not participate in the creative music-making projects.
Data were collected from 281 students, and although missing data was quite extreme for variables measured late in the course (e.g., motivation), large amounts of data were available regarding students' past experience in music, their expectations regarding participation as MOOC learners, and demographic information (e.g., age, gender, education, language, geographic region). The available data were used in an exploratory manner to derive a model for predicting creative project participation in the course.
The sole important predictor of project participation was whether students identified themselves as an "active participant" at the beginning of the course, although this variable explained only a small amount of variability in project participation. Follow-up analyses for group differences in Active Participant (individuals who identified themselves as "active participants" versus all other Types of Learners) found that “active participants” had significantly higher levels of Musical Creative Self-Efficacy, greater perceptions of the learning context as challenge-supportive, and higher scores on the Openness personality factor. Notably, students' Past Experience in Music appeared to be unrelated to both whether they intended to participate in the creative music-making projects and whether they actually participated in the projects.
In addition to the primary MOOC study, the development and initial validation procedures and results for two new research instruments utilized in the MOOC study, the Past Experience in Music Inventory (PEMI) and the Musical Creative Self-Efficacy Scale (MCSES), are described in detail. The latent class measurement model utilized for measuring Past Experience in Music is a unique and potentially valuable approach for measuring this important variable in music research of all kinds.
Finally, an exploratory analysis of all zero-order rank-order intercorrelations of all non-nominal variables indicated some initial support for the General Specified Model of Creativity-Based Learning. It was not possible to take the next step with the model: to prune it, alter it, or reject it altogether, but when viewed as a very large-scale pilot study, this study did provide enough evidence to warrant investing the considerable amount of resources necessary to take that next step.
Implications for creativity-based music learning and the significance of MOOCs and MOOC research are discussed. In particular, music MOOCs represent an opportunity to fill in some much needed space for lifelong learning. However, if we are to promote lifelong musical engagement, then the pedagogy within a MOOC should also promote engagement. As such, questions and further research regarding such engagement, especially within a creativity-based learning framework, are central to better understanding how to promote and facilitate lifelong musical engagement and musical learning.
