An exploratory investigation of responses elicited by music varying in tempo, tonality, and texture

Kellaris, James J., Kent, Robert J.·1993·Journal of Consumer Psychology

Abstract

This study explores listeners' responses to music as a function of objective properties of musical sound. Original classical and pop‐style compositions were produced with digital sound technology to provide orthogonal manipulations of musical tempo, tonality, and texture. Three dimensions (pleasure, arousal, surprise) emerged from the responses measured. Variance analyses found main effects of tempo on both pleasure and arousal, and main effects of tonality on pleasure and surprise. Texture moderated the influence of tempo such that a positive contribution to pleasure was observed for classical music, and a positive contribution to arousal was observed for pop‐style music. Texture also moderated the influence of tonality on pleasure, with more pronounced reactions to tonal variations observed among listeners exposed to classical music. Implications for the use of music in consumer research and the interpretation of past music‐related findings are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
