The Role of Self-Construal in Affective Experiences With Music

尽管音乐对治疗和商业应用很重要，但目前对音乐情感反应在个体和文化中的差异的理解是有限的。大多数跨文化研究使用地理区域和种族来操作文化。将自我联想作为一种调节对音乐的情感反应的心理结构进行研究，提供了一个步骤的变化。我的项目调查的作用，自我情感体验与音乐使用自我报告问卷和行为实验。该项目具有潜在的理论和实际应用的研究和音乐从业者。

Current understanding of how affective responses to music differ across individuals and cultures is limited, despite its importance to therapeutic and commercial applications. Most cross-cultural studies operationalise culture using geographical regions and ethnicity. Examining self-construal as a psychological structure mediating emotional responses to music offers a step-change. My project investigates the role of self-construals in affective experiences with music using self-report questionnaires and behavioural experiments. This project has potential theoretical and practical applications for research and music practitioners.
