Success in reaching affect self-regulation goals through everyday music listening
2023
While music listening on mobile phones can serve many affect-regulatory goals, success in reaching these goals is yet to be empirically assessed. This study aimed to determine how frequently listeners successfully reach their affect-regulatory goals, and the predictors of this success. Data were collected using the experience sampling app MuPsych, from 293 Finnish participants. Goals were successfully reached in less than half of cases, with adults more successful than adolescents. Success was determined largely within contexts, and strongly predicted by an initial low-valenced emotional state of the listener, suggesting that music listening is particularly useful for those in negative stat…
Validation of the German Version of the Music-Empathizing-Music-Systemizing (MEMS) Inventory (Short Version)
2018
Background: Kreutz et al. (2008) developed the Music-Empathizing-Music-Systemizing (ME-MS) Inventory to extend Baron-Cohen's cognitive style theory to the domain of music. We sought to confirm the ME-MS construct in a German sample and to explore these individual differences in relation to music preferences. Methods: The German adaptation of the MEMS Inventory was achieved by forward and backward translation. A total of 1014 participants (532 male, age: 33.79 ± 11.89 years) completed the 18-item short version of the MEMS Inventory online. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed and cut-off values were established to identify individuals who could be classified as ME, Balanced, or M…
The Role of Music in Everyday Life During the First Wave of the Coronavirus Pandemic : A Mixed-Methods Exploratory Study
2021
Although music is known to be a part of everyday life and a resource for mood and emotion management, everyday life has changed significantly for many due to the global coronavirus pandemic, making the role of music in everyday life less certain. An online survey in which participants responded to Likert scale questions as well as providing free text responses was used to explore how participants were engaging with music during the first wave of the pandemic, whether and how they were using music for mood regulation, and how their engagement with music related to their experiences of worry and anxiety resulting from the pandemic. Results indicated that, for the majority of participants, whi…
Effects of Age and Gender in Emotion Regulation of Children and Adolescents
2020
Emotional regulation, understood as the skills and strategies needed to influence and/or modify the emotional experiences, has a very remarkable implication within numerous emotional and behavioral disorders in childhood and adolescence. In recent years there has been a significant increase in research on emotional regulation, however, the results are still divergent in terms of differences in emotional regulation in relation to age and gender. This study aimed to assess emotional regulation in adolescents in relation to their age and gender. Two hundred and fifty-four adolescents from eight schools in the Valencian Community and aged between 9 and 16 years participated in the study. The ad…
Taking Familiar Others’ Perspectives to Regulate Our Own Emotion: An Event-Related Potential Study
2019
Current research on emotion regulation has mainly focused on Gross’s cognitive strategies for regulating negative emotion; however, little attention has been paid to whether social cognitive processes can be used to regulate both positive and negative emotions. We considered perspective-taking as an aspect of social cognition, and investigated whether it would affect one’s own emotional response. The present study used a block paradigm and event-related potential (ERP) technology to explore this question. A 3 (perspective: self vs. pessimistic familiar other vs. optimistic familiar other) × 3 (valence: positive vs. neutral vs. negative) within-group design was employed. Thirty-six college s…
Development and Validation of the Brief Music in Mood Regulation Scale (B-MMR)
2012
mood regulation has been shown to be among of the most important reasons for musical engagement, but there has been a lack of a concise measurement instrument for this behavior. The current study focused on developing and testing the Brief Music in Mood Regulation scale (B-MMR), a 21-item self-report instrument for assessing the use of seven different music-related mood-regulation strategies. Two survey studies (N = 1515 and N = 526) were conducted to first develop and then test and validate the instrument. The newly constructed scale showed adequate internal consistency reliabilities and correlated expectedly with measures of general emotion regulation and musical engagement. As a concise …
Nesuicidāls paškaitējums, emociju regulācija un vardarbības pieredze pusaudžiem
2020
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot saistības starp nesuicidāla paškaitējuma veidiem un motīviem, emociju regulācijas dimensijām un vardarbības pieredzi. Izlasi veidoja 82 pusaudži vecumā no 14 – 18 gadiem, vidējais vecums – 15,71 gadi, no kuriem 54 bija meitenes (66 %) un 28 bija zēni (34 %). Nesuicidāla paškaitējuma veidi un motīvi tika mērīti ar Paškaitējuma apgalvojumu aptauju (Inventory of statements about self – injury, Klonsky, 2008), emociju regulācijas dimensijas - ar Emociju regulācijas aptauju (Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Gross & John, 2003) un vardarbības pieredze - ar Bērnības traumas aptauju (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Fink, Bernstein, Handelsman, Foote,& Lovejoy, 1995)…
Nesuicidālais paškaitējums, nesuicidālā paškaitējuma iznākuma ekspektācijas un emociju regulācija pusaudžu un jaunu pieaugušo izlasē
2021
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot nesuicidāla paškaitējuma (NP) saistības ar NP iznākuma ekspektācijām un emociju regulāciju Latvijas pusaudžu un jaunu pieaugušo izlasē. Izlasi veidoja 92 abu dzimumu pusaudži un jauni pieaugušie vecumā no 14-30 gadiem, vidējais vecums – 20,08 gadi, 57 sievietes (62%) un 35 vīrieši (38%). NP ekspektācijas tika noteiktas ar Nesuicidālā Paškaitējuma iznākuma ekspektāciju aptauju (The Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Expectancies Questionnaire, Hasking & Boyes, 2017). NP uzvedība tika noteikta ar Paškaitējuma apgalvojumu aptauju (Inventory of statements about self-injury, Klonsky, 2008), un emociju regulācijas stratēģijas - ar Emociju regulācijas aptauju (Emotion Regulati…
Absolute of Relative? A New Approach to Building Feature Vectors For Emotion Tracking In Music
2013
It is believed that violation of or conformity to expectancy when listening to music is one of the main sources of musical emotion. To address this, we test a new way of building feature vectors and representing features within the vector for the machine learning approach to continuous emotion tracking systems. Instead of looking at the absolute values for specific features, we concentrate on the average value of that feature across the whole song and the difference between that and the absolute value for a particular sample. To test this “relative” representation, we used a corpus of popular music with continuous labels on the arousalvalence space. The model consists of a Support Vector Re…
Re-Creating Emotions in Chinese Poetry of the 1960s and 1970s

I poeti cinesi del periodo tra il 1960 e il 1970 re-inventano la lingua poetica cinese attraverso un'attenzione tutta nuova alle tematiche collegate all'io. Dopo anni di ispirazione volta all'aspetto collettivo della società cinese, la virata dei poeti in questione apre la poesia cinese verso orizzonti diversi.
