Abstract

Music empathizing (ME) and music systemizing (MS) are constructs representing cognitive styles that address different facets of interest in music listening. Here we investigate whether ME and MS are positively associated with feelings of reward in response to music listening (MR). We conducted an online-survey in which n = 202 (127 identifying as female) participants, Mage = 26.06 years, SDage = 8.66 years, filled out the Music-Empathizing-Music-Systemizing (MEMS) Inventory, the Barcelona Questionnaire of Music Reward (BMRQ), further music-related inventories, and ad hoc items representing general interest and investment in music listening. Results from a conditional inference tree analysis confirm our hypothesis by showing ME followed by MS were the most important predictors of MR. In addition, subscription to music streaming services and investing free time into music listening were also associated with higher MR. These results suggest that perceiving reward through music listening is a function of both music empathizing and music systemizing. The nonsignificant contributions of music sophistication and music style preferences deny a larger role of these factors in MR. Further research is needed to investigate the interrelationships of musical cognitive styles and MR to refine our understanding of the affective value of music listening.

音乐移情和音乐系统化与音乐听力奖励

音乐移情（ME）和音乐系统化（MS）是代表认知风格的结构，它们涉及音乐听力兴趣的不同方面。在这里，我们调查了脑脊髓炎和多发性硬化症是否与听音乐（MR）的奖励感呈正相关。我们进行了一项在线调查，其中n=202（127名女性）参与者，Mage=26.06岁，SDage=8.66岁，填写了音乐移情音乐系统化（MEMS）清单、巴塞罗那音乐奖励问卷（BMRQ）、进一步的音乐相关清单，以及代表对音乐聆听的普遍兴趣和投资的特设项目。条件推理树分析的结果证实了我们的假设，表明ME和MS是MR的最重要预测因素。此外，订阅音乐流媒体服务和投入空闲时间听音乐也与较高的MR相关。这些结果表明，通过听音乐来感知奖励既是音乐移情的功能，也是音乐系统化的功能。音乐成熟度和音乐风格偏好的非显著贡献否认了这些因素在MR中的更大作用。需要进一步研究音乐认知风格和MR之间的相互关系，以完善我们对音乐听力情感价值的理解。
