Abstract

If music connects to our most resonant emotional strings, why have not we used it to assess emotions? Our goal was to develop and validate the Measure of Emotions by Music (MEM). A total of 280 participants were randomly assigned to MEM Condition 1 (excerpts) or MEM Condition 2 (excerpts and adjectives). All participants responded to the PANAS-X. The internal consistency (α) of the MEM subscales (Happy, Sad, Scary, Peaceful) was in acceptable-to-strong range and similar to the PANAS-X. Construct validity of the MEM illustrated cohesive convergence to the PANAS-X. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the validity of a four-factor solution, as intended in the MEM. Split-half reliability shows good fidelity. A total of 69% of the respondents mentioned a preference for the MEM. The MEM demonstrates very good psychometric characteristics, seems to be an appreciated way to measure emotional states and may represent an interesting alternative for clinical groups having difficulties to identify their emotion with words.

音乐情感测量的验证（MEM）

如果音乐能与我们最共鸣的情感联系起来，为什么我们没有用它来评估情感呢?我们的目标是开发和验证音乐情感测量(MEM)。共有280名参与者被随机分配到MEM条件1(摘要)或MEM条件2(摘要和形容词)。所有与会者都对PANAS-X作出了答复。MEM各分量表(快乐、悲伤、恐惧、和平)的内部一致性(α)处于可接受到强的范围内，与PANAS-X相似。MEM的结构效度显示了与PANAS-X的内聚收敛。验证性因子分析证实了四因素解决方案的有效性，正如MEM所期望的那样。对半可靠度显示了良好的保真度。总共有69%的受访者提到了对MEM的偏好。MEM展示了非常好的心理测量特征，似乎是一种值得赞赏的测量情绪状态的方法，对于难以用语言识别自己的情绪的临床群体来说，它可能是一种有趣的选择。

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.
