Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between music consumption and cultural dimensions within a Japanese context. Since Japan is the second largest music market globally, it is surprising that there is little focus on those factors often examined in cross-cultural research that might mean Western findings do not extrapolate well. A questionnaire using established measures of tightness–looseness, relational mobility, and ideal affect was used to test three main research questions. RQ1 was that there should be a relationship between cultural dimensions and musical taste, and this was fully supported. RQ2 was that cultural dimensions should relate to participants’ goals of music consumption, and this was largely supported. RQ3 was that there should be a relationship between socioeconomic status and musical taste, but this was not supported. The findings also supported several more specific research questions concerning how specific uses of music ought to relate to specific cultural dimensions. The findings of the study help us better understand the way music is consumed in relation to specific cultural dimensions in the context of Japan and beyond. It also extends the literature concerning music and cross-cultural psychology where prior research has not considered these dimensions within the context of music consumption.
日本的音乐消费和使用情况
本研究以日本为背景,调查音乐消费与文化因素之间的关系。日本是全球第二大音乐市场,但令人惊讶的是,跨文化研究中经常考察的那些因素却很少受到关注,这可能意味着西方的研究结果不能很好地推断。我们使用了一份调查问卷,其中采用了已确立的松紧度、关系流动性和理想情感测量方法,以检验三个主要研究问题。问题 1 是文化维度与音乐品味之间应该存在关系,这一观点得到了充分的支持。问题 2:文化维度应与参与者的音乐消费目标相关,这一观点得到了基本支持。问题 3:社会经济地位与音乐品味之间应该存在关系,但未得到支持。研究结果还支持几个更具体的研究问题,即音乐的具体用途应如何与具体的文化维度相关联。研究结果有助于我们更好地理解在日本及其他国家,音乐消费方式与特定文化维度之间的关系。这项研究还扩展了有关音乐和跨文化心理学的文献,因为之前的研究并没有在音乐消费的背景下考虑这些维度。

期刊介绍: Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
