page 25/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Emotion in familiar and unfamiliar music familiar musical styles tend to be preferred (Peretz et al., 1998) and rated as more pleasant (Ritossa & Rickard, 2004) stronger and more diverse emotions in familiar music (Gabrielsson & Lindström Wik, 2003) familiarity and liking: joy, calm, movement & fun foreignness and dislike: anger, madness, fear & chaos (Parncutt & Marin, 2006) musical arousal ratings may depend on familiarity (Ritossa & Rickard, 2004) sensitivity to emotions in unfamiliar music: acoustic cues more important than culture-specific (Balkwill et al., 2004)

page 35/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Skin conductance & musical emotions studies on tonic levels of EDA (SCL): focus on mood few studies on phasic levels of EDA (SCR): focus on emotion depends mainly upon stimulus arousal (environmental sounds, affective pictures) familiar musical style: SCRs are stronger for stimulating emotions than for relaxing emotions (Khalfa et al., 2002) musical structure and SCL: low vs. high arousal: accentuation, tempo, rhythmic articulation (Gomez & Danuser, 2007)

page 45/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Familar vs. unfamiliar music - Question Are there differences in psychological and physiological reactions to familiar and unfamiliar music?

page 55/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Musical stimuli three instrumental musical styles: Western tonal (18 th -19 th century) Western atonal (20 th century) classical traditional Persian more than one instrument, no orchestra no electronic instruments wide range of composers 5 emotion categories: peacefulness, joy, sadness, fear, anger 5 excerpts per emotion; 25 excerpts per style duration of 5s; 200ms fade-in and fade-out equalization of loudness

page 65/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Pilot study collection of musical stimuli: tonal and atonal excerpts by 6 music students and the 1 st author collection of Persian excerpts by 7 Persian musicians 80 excerpts in Western tonal and atonal styles, rated by 14 music teachers of a conservatory 58 excerpts in classical traditional Persian style, rated by 16 Persian musicians ratings of emotion category (peacefulness, joy, sadness, fear, anger) emotion intensity (5-point rating scale) criteria for selection 75% of musicians must agree on a specific emotion emotion intensity (1 = weak, …, 5 = strong): >3

page 95/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Procedure participants were tested individually, 1.5-2 hours double-insulated cabine (sound, electro-magnetic) headphones (AGK, K240 Studio) measurement of temperature and humidity before and after measuring SCRs (1)Edinburgh-Handedness-Inventory (Oldfield, 1971) (2)Multidimensional Mood Questionnaire (3)SCR measurements a)Resting period: ~ 5 minutes b)SCR measurements: 25 minutes (4)Multidimensional Mood Questionnaire (5)rating of musical stimuli onto the computer (6)questionnaires, pencil and paper versions

page 205/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Austrians‘ SCRs to different styles
22
page 215/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Persians‘ SCRs to different styles
23
page 225/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Emotion category & unfamiliar styles Western listeners: Persian music: high agreement on peacefulness and joy, disagreement on other categories Western atonal music: high agreement on joy and fear, disagreement on other categories Persian listeners: Western tonal music: high agreement on joy, disagreement on other categories Western atonal music: no agreement for all categories
24
page 235/5/2015 SMPC 2007, Montreal, Quebec Conclusion familiarity with a musical style modulates ratings of pleasantness, liking and arousal no significant effect of familiarity with style on skin conductance responses joy seems to be the most easily recognizable emotion in an unfamiliar style
