In two exhibitions involving refugee acceptance (Study 1, N = 41) and climate awareness (Study 2, N = 49), we collected curator/artist-provided sets of specific intended emotions, matched to viewer reports and to changes in attitude measures via a pre-post design. In both studies, viewers felt more intended emotions and were proficient at identifying how they were intended to feel with, in Study 1, significant relation between the former and agreement that the exhibition had caused one to reflect. In Study 2, feeling more intended emotions, as set by the curator but not the artist, correlated to changes in nature connectedness. However, feeling more emotions in general, regardless of intentions, was consistently the strongest driver of effects, raising new implications for emotion-, arts-based-, and intervention-research.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144622380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is an urgent need for indepth research to examine the potential benefits and limitations of AI in art creation. This study investigates the issues mentioned above through a twopart experiment. Study 1 conducted an Art Turing test, selecting 10 works created by human artists representing different styles and 10 works generated by the AI creation tool Midjourney. The two sets of works were scored, and their differences were compared. Study 2 involved a 2 × 2 experiment with independent variables of “passing the Turing test” (pass vs fail) and “being informed about the works that passed the Art Turing test” (informed vs. uninformed). The dependent variable was the level of anxiety toward AI. The findings suggest that anxiety regarding AI artwork stems primarily from the quality of the pieces. When AI creates works of art that rival or surpass those of human artists, anxiety is further heightened due to the potential impact on anthropocentric thinking. This study provides empirical insight and a scientific basis for exploring AI in art creation.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144578836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is still a lack of research on the integrative mechanisms underlying cross-modal emotion transference between music and image. The present study employed a 2 (image: positive vs. negative) × 2 (music: major vs. minor) within-subjects design to investigate how these combinations influence aesthetic preferences for neutral stimuli. The findings revealed the following: (1) Under minor key music, negative emotional images significantly enhanced the aesthetic evaluation of neutral stimuli compared to positive emotional images. This reflects an emotion-congruent effect, facilitating emotion assimilation–contrast processes and enhancing aesthetic experience. (2) Under positive emotional images, major key music significantly increased the aesthetic appraisal of neutral stimuli relative to minor key music, again promoting assimilation–contrast effects and aesthetic enhancement. (3) Under negative emotional images, there was no significant difference in aesthetic evaluation of neutral stimuli between major and minor key music, possibly because the negative images dominated the emotional processing, marginalizing the influence of music. (4) Under major key music, no significant difference in aesthetic evaluation of neutral stimuli was observed between positive and negative emotional images, which may suggest that, within the emotional framework of major key music, the emotional impact of positive and negative images converged and thus failed to significantly alter aesthetic preferences. These findings reveal boundary conditions for the emotion assimilation–contrast effect in the context of cross-modal emotion transference. From an applied perspective, musical mode and emotional image can serve as effective modulators in the perception and aesthetic evaluation of visual information.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144513276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence, however, was ambiguous. In the present study ( N = 79), we studied whether collectivism in preferences is seen in terms of a relatively higher level of shared tastes. We employed beholder indices/taste typicality to compute private taste from aesthetic evaluations for different classes of visual images of Japanese and European participants. Collectivism for each participant was measured through a standard scale based on participants’ opinions towards their peer group. No difference in collectivism measure between the two populations was found. However, congruence in personal taste meaningfully differed between cultures, showing higher shared taste in Japanese participants for artistic stimuli. These effects reached beyond comparisons by individual collectivistic tendencies. While these findings require replication with larger samples, they point towards meaningful differences in group norm adherence between cultures.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144165576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study (N = 187), conducted in the naturalistic environment of a museum, we explored these ideas. Half the participants were instructed to rate the beauty of pottery objects created by a renowned artist, while the other half engaged in a control task that did not involve evaluating beauty. Based on Construal Level Theory, we used the Behavior Identification Form to explore whether aesthetic experiences encourage abstract thinking, and in turn, psychological distance. We also predicted that beauty appreciation would lead to greater transformative and self-transcendent emotions. Indeed, appreciating the beauty of artworks led participants to think in a more abstract way, especially those who practice an art hobby themselves, as well as to transformative, and self-transcendent emotions.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
