Le processus souverainiste en Catalogne : entre crise institutionnelle et impasse politique
2017
Cet article interroge les facteurs qui ont conduit, à partir de 2010, à une radicalisation des revendications indépendantistes en Catalogne et à une situation de quasi-blocage institutionnel à travers une analyse des discours politiques des exécutifs catalan et madrilène et des nouveaux modes d'activité protestataire mis en place par la société civile. La complexité de cette crise qui pose le problème des limites du cadre constitutionnel de 1978 implique de prendre en compte les interactions qui se créent entre la sphère politique et la société civile au cours de ce cycle de mobilisations. La réflexion s'oriente donc à la fois sur les arguments convoqués dans le discours institutionnel mais…
A person-oriented approach to diary data. Children’s temperamental negative emotionality increases susceptibility to emotion transmission in father-c…
2015
The notion that some individuals are more prone to emotion transmission than others has prompted the need for a person-oriented approach to emotion transmission in parent-child dyads. The present study applied a person-oriented analysis to examine the patterns of emotion transmission that can be identified in the diary data of father-child dyads, and the extent to which children with high levels of temperamental negative emotionality are particularly susceptible to emotion transmission within the family. Mothers of 149 first grade children (age 6 to 7) completed questionnaires concerning their child’s temperament. Mothers and fathers maintained diary questionnaires (for a total of 7 days) c…
”Do you have a language of emotions?” : early multilinguals' perceptions of emotional weight in their languages
2017
Monikielisyys on tänä päivänä hyvin yleinen ilmiö, jota on tutkittu monista näkökulmista. Yksi suosittu aihe on monikielisten henkilöiden omiin kieliinsä yhdistämät tunnemerkitykset, eli kuinka jotkut kielet voidaan kokea tunnetasolla painoltaan tai merkitykseltään voimakkaampina kuin toiset. Tämä tunneherkkyys on yleisesti ottaen vahvin henkilön äidinkielessä, mutta niille puhujille, joilla ei ole yhtä selvää äidinkieltä, tilanne on toinen. Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena oli selvittää, kokevatko tällaiset hyvin varhaiset monikieliset puhujat, että jokin heidän kielistään on selvästi emotionaalisemmalta painoarvoltaan selkeämpi kuin muut, tai onko heillä kieli, jonka voisi luokitella tunteide…
Investigating Relationships Between Music, Emotions, Personality, and Music-Induced Movement
2013
Listening to music makes us to move in various ways. The characteristics of these movements can be affected by several aspects, such as individual factors, musical features, or the emotional content of the music. In a study in which we presented 60 individuals with 30 musical stimuli representing different genres of popular music and recorded their movement with an optical motion capture system, we found significant correlations 1) between musical characteristics and the exhibited movement, 2) between the perceived emotional content of the music and the movement, and 3) between personality traits of the dancers and the movement. However, such separate analyses are incapable of investigating…
The Effect of Expertise in Evaluating Emotions in Music
2013
This study investigates the role of expertise in the listener judgment of emotion in music. Previous studies suggest that the most important factors are mode and tempo, respectively influencing valence and arousal. The effect is stronger when the two parameters converge (major mode combined with fast tempo and vice versa), whereas tempo predominates when they do not converge. An open question is whether and how these judgments vary with the expertise of the listener. Our hypothesis is that non-experts will base their evaluation mainly on tempo, disregarding mode, which is more complex to be aware of. On the other hand, experts will take advantage of both sources of information. The experime…
Emotional Data in Music Performance : Two Audio Environments for the Emotional Imaging Composer
2013
Technologies capable of automatically sensing and recognizing emotion are becoming increasingly prevalent in performance and compositional practice. Though these technologies are complex and diverse, we present a typology that draws on similarities with computational systems for expressive music performance. This typology provides a framework to present results from the development of two audio environments for the Emotional Imaging Composer, a commercial product for realtime arousal/valence recognition that uses signals from the autonomic nervous system. In the first environment, a spectral delay processor for live vocal performance uses the performer's emotional state to interpolate betwe…
The Effects of Nicotine on Music-Induced Emotion
2013
Nicotine is an available drug widely self-administered in the context of music (e.g. pubs, clubs). Furthermore, nicotine effects one’s physiology, which allowed us to test the effects of these physiological changes on the emotional experiences of music. We hypothesized that because nicotine changes one’s physiology it may also change one’s affective arousal in response to music. To test this, non-smokers were administered nicotine gum at either 2mg, 4mg, or placebo level. Participants then listened to 4 musical excerpts: happy, sad, neutral, and self-selected chill-inducing. After each listening, participants rated their emotional responses on 6 intensi-ty scales: arousal, pleasure, happy, …
Relationships Between Audio and Movement Features, and Perceived Emotions in Musical Performance
2023
A core aspect of musical performance is communicating emotional and expressive intentions to the audience. Recognition of the musician's intentions is constructed from a combination of visual and auditory performance cues, as well as compositional features. The current study attempted to quantify these contributions by measuring relationships between ratings of perceived emotion, and motion and auditory performance features. A pianist and violinist with advanced degrees in music performance individually performed four short western tonal pieces. The musicians were tasked with performing the pieces while invoking different expressive intentions: sad, happy, angry, and as a control, deadpan. …
Who enjoys listening to sad music and why?
2011
although people generally avoid negative emotional experiences in general, they often enjoy sadness portrayed in music and other arts. The present study investigated what kinds of subjective emotional experiences are induced in listeners by sad music, and whether the tendency to enjoy sad music is associated with particular personality traits. One hundred forty-eight participants listened to 16 music excerpts and rated their emotional responses. As expected, sadness was the most salient emotion experienced in response to sad excerpts. However, other more positive and complex emotions such as nostalgia, peacefulness, and wonder were also evident. Furthermore, two personality traits – Opennes…
Emotions of music listening in Finland and in India : Comparison of an individualistic and a collectivistic culture
2020
Music is appreciated for emotional reasons across cultures, but knowledge on the cross-cultural similarities and differences of music-evoked emotions is still sparse. The current study compared music-evoked emotions in Finland and in India, contextualizing them within the perceived psychological functionality of music in an individualistic versus collectivistic culture. Participants ( N = 230) answered an online survey on music-evoked emotions and related personal meanings. A mixed-method approach using factor analysis and qualitative content analysis was used to identify the concepts for cross-cultural comparison. Results show that both cultures value music for positive emotional experien…
