Overview

Online experiment analyzed emotional responses and flow in music listening based on familiarity, suggesting areas for further model exploration.

Key Points

  • Familiar music triggered stronger emotional responses, but did not enhance flow experience.
  • Listeners rated their emotional experiences using questionnaires during a breathing meditation activity.
  • Assessment involved frameworks like spreading activation theory, BRECVEMA model, and flow theory in network analysis.
  • Different models are necessary to fully understand the expressive aspects of music across emotional categories.
