我们探索了认知的、基于知识的概念的内容和结构，这些概念是音乐审美反应的基础。为此，我们要求290名芬兰学生口头联想音乐的审美价值，并在给定的时间限制内写下合适的形容词列表。在任务期间没有播放任何音乐。此外，还收集了参与者的音乐背景信息。我们使用了各种分析技术来确定我们研究的关键结果。事实证明，形容词“美丽的”是所涉概念的核心项目。有趣的是，形容词“感人”经常与“美丽”并列。此外，我们还发现了音乐特有的词汇以及与情绪和情绪状态相关的形容词，这表明情感过程是对音乐的审美反应的重要组成部分。在许多形容词上，音乐专家和门外汉之间以及女性和男性参与者之间的差异被发现。这些发现表明，在对音乐的审美反应之下，存在着一个共同的概念空间，这种空间在一定程度上可以被音乐专业知识水平和性别所改变。
We explored the content and structure of the cognitive, knowledge-based concept underlying aesthetic responses to music. To this aim, we asked 290 Finnish students to verbally associate the aesthetic value of music and to write down a list of appropriate adjectives within a given time limit. No music was presented during the task. In addition, information about participants' musical background was collected. A variety of analysis techniques was used to determine the key results of our study. The adjective "beautiful" proved to be the core item of the concept under question. Interestingly, the adjective "touching" was often listed together with "beautiful". In addition, we found music-specific vocabulary as well as adjectives related to emotions and mood states indicating that affective processes are an essential part of aesthetic responses to music. Differences between music experts and laymen as well as between female and male participants were found for a number of adjectives. These findings suggest the existence of a common conceptual space underlying aesthetic responses to music, which partly can be modified by the level of musical expertise and gender.
