The Role of Self-Construal in Affective Experiences With Music

Lead Research Organisation: University of Sheffield
Department Name: Department of Music

Abstract

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.
