Music May Reduce Loneliness and Act as Social Surrogate for a Friend: Evidence from an Experimental Listening Study
2020
After losing a close other, individuals usually confide in an empathic friend to receive comfort and they seem to have a heightened desire for mood-congruent, consoling music. Hence, it has been proposed that affect-congruent music acts as a social surrogate for an empathic friend. Thus, we hypothesized that listening to comforting music, as a response to a social loss experience, provides a sense of empathic company as indicated by reduced loneliness and heightened empathy. We further predicted that distracting music would have a stronger impact on the listeners’ mood in comparison to comforting pieces. To test these assumptions, an experiment with two factors was designed: (1) Sadness wa…
Might as well jump: Sound affects muscle activation in skateboarding
2014
The aim of the study is to reveal the role of sound in action anticipation and performance, and to test whether the level of precision in action planning and execution is related to the level of sensorimotor skills and experience that listeners possess about a specific action. Individuals ranging from 18 to 75 years of age - some of them without any skills in skateboarding and others experts in this sport - were compared in their ability to anticipate and simulate a skateboarding jump by listening to the sound it produces. Only skaters were able to modulate the forces underfoot and to apply muscle synergies that closely resembled the ones that a skater would use if actually jumping on a ska…
La plantilla 3.0, un instrumento para conocer la música de la infancia: Revisión y validación
2015
Este trabajo se interesa por conocer la música de la vida diaria de los niños desde una mirada educativa1. Para estudiarlo el artículo ofrece un instrumento que permite conocer los elementos objetivos de la música que escuchan, prestando especial atención al entorno sonoro de mayor cobertura e impacto, el mediático. El instrumento constituye el paso inicial para estudiar los posibles efectos de la música y proponer alternativas educativas, porque la finalidad última de la investigación es la mejora de la educación. El desarrollo metodológico ha consistido en la creación del instrumento, la plantilla 3.0, y su aplicación, dando cuenta en este artículo de su revisión, características técnicas…
Characterisation of the microflora contaminating the wooden vats used for traditional Sicilian cheese production
2015
Traditional Sicilian cheese productions are carried out employing traditional wooden vats, called <em>tina.</em> Many studies have highlighted the beneficial role of wooden dairy equipment by contributing to enriching the milk microflora and improving the acidification processes. The present work was undertaken to evaluate the safety of the wooden vats used to coagulate milk. To this purpose, the different microbial populations hosted onto the internal surfaces of the vats used to produce two different stretched cheeses, namely <em>Caciocavallo Palermitano</em> and <em>Vastedda della valle del Belìce DOP</em>, were investigated for the presence of spoilag…
It's Sad but I Like It The Neural Dissociation Between Musical Emotions and Liking in Experts and Laypersons
2016
Emotion-related areas of the brain, such as the medial frontal cortices, amygdala, and striatum, are activated during listening to sad or happy music as well as during listening to pleasurable music. Indeed, in music, like in other arts, sad and happy emotions might co-exist and be distinct from emotions of pleasure or enjoyment. Here we aimed at discerning the neural correlates of sadness or happiness in music as opposed those related to musical enjoyment. We further investigated whether musical expertise modulates the neural activity during affective listening of music. To these aims, 13 musicians and 16 non-musicians brought to the lab their most liked and disliked musical pieces with a …
The pleasure evoked by sad music is mediated by feelings of being moved
2017
Why do we enjoy listening to music that makes us sad? This question has puzzled music psychologists for decades, but the paradox of “pleasurable sadness” remains to be solved. Recent findings from a study investigating the enjoyment of sad films suggest that the positive relationship between felt sadness and enjoyment might be explained by feelings of being moved (Hanich et al., 2014). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether feelings of being moved also mediated the enjoyment of sad music. In Experiment 1, 308 participants listened to five sad music excerpts and rated their liking and felt emotions. A multilevel mediation analysis revealed that the initial positive relations…
Autentiskie video materiāli skolēnu klausīšanās prasmju pilnveidei angļu valodas stundās 8. klasē
2022
Diplomdarbā tiek pētīts, kā iespējams pilnveidot 8. klases skolēnu klausīšanās prasmes, izmantojot autentiskos video materiālus angļu valodas stundās. Darbs sniedz ieskatu klausīšanās prasmju nozīmē komunikācijā un autentisko video materiālu izmantošanā angļu valodas stundās. Izvēlētā pētījuma metode bija gadījuma pētījums kādā no Latvijas vidusskolām. Skolēnu aptaujas, testi, skolēnu atsauksmes un intervijas ar trīs angļu valodas skolotājām tika izmantotas kā datu ieguves metodes. Iegūtie dati liecina, ka autentisku video materiālu izmantošana angļu valodas stundās, pozitīvi ietekmē skolēnu klausīšanās prasmes: skolēniem ir vieglāk saprast dažādus akcentus, viņus mazāk ietekmē fona troksni…
Uz autentisku materiālu balstītu audio kursa izstrāde un ieviešana skolēnu klausīšanās prasmju pilnveidei angļu valodā 11. klasē
2022
Praktiskās klausīšanās prasmju trūkums skolēnu vidū ir viena no biežāk novērojamām problēmām angļu valodas stundās. Dažādi testēšanas elementi tiek izmantoti ar mērķi novērtēt klausīšanas prasmes, tomēr patiesais klausīšanās izpratnes process netiek veidots. Skolēni nezina iemeslus, kāpēc, klausoties, viņi pieļāva īpašas kļūdas, un tas noved pie tā, ka viņiem nav iespēju izstrādāt savas stratēģijas, kā izvairīties no kļūdu pieļaušanas. Stundās nav pietiekami daudz iespēju iesaistīties aktīvā klausīšanās procesā un nav iespējams praktiski izmantot piezīmes, kas gūtas, klausoties, un darba autore to uzskata par vienu no faktoriem, kas skolēniem rada grūtības klausīties. Pētījuma mērķis bija i…
Perceived differences between natural and convolution reverberation types in 5.0 surround sound
2011
This Graduate Thesis investigates the perceived differences between natural and convolution reverberation in surround sound. Two spaces with distinct reverberation times were used for this study. Initially three musical excerpts from three instruments (Cello, Oboe, and Piano) were recorded in a dry studio environment. Then the Impulse Response (IR) of the spaces was captured using two methods: balloon burst and sine sweep. The dry excerpts were then recorded in the spaces to capture the natural reverberation pattern while the IRs were convolved with them to create the artificial reverberation excerpts. A listening test was then conducted using six perceptual scales to rate these 18 excerpts…
ACQUISITION AND APPLICATION OF MUSIC LISTENING SKILLS FOR TEENAGERS
2018
Living in a society means there is a constant communication between its members. However, it is possible only when there is mutual understanding, because base principals of communication are the ability to communicate, emotional and physical readiness for communication, speaking and listening experience, as well as, mutual attitude between the talker and listener and vice versa. Listening to music is closely related to general ability to listen and perceive what has been heard. That is why the act of music listening under the guidance of a professional teacher is very important. Relevant requirement is the choice of qualitative learning content and diverse methods which are fit to teenager`…
