However, existing studies do not fully explain why one predictor may have a greater influence on aesthetic preference than the other. This study investigates the role of typicality and novelty in explaining aesthetic preferences across rich (with multiple sub-categories) and poor categories (with few sub-categories). Using furniture as stimuli, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 306 participants with non-design backgrounds. The results indicate that typicality is a stronger predictor for poor categories, while novelty has a greater influence on rich categories. These findings suggest that object category richness influences the weight of typicality and novelty in shaping aesthetic preference, offering further elaboration and nuanced interpretation of the MAYA principle that ‘ Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable ’ is suitable for rich categories while ‘ Most Acceptable, Yet Advanced ’ is for poor categories. The study also highlights the necessity of object categorization when integrating typicality and novelty into product designs. These results provide new insights into the cognitive mechanisms underlying aesthetic preference, with implications for both theoretical development and practical design applications.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144898964","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}

These experiences are shaped into aesthetic judgments using verbal concepts. We explored this process in music by surveying 804 participants who described their favorite music using adjectives, resulting in 94 semantic fields based on 7,388 responses and 1,786 unique terms. Using the Cognitive Salience Index (CSI), we assessed the prominence of these terms, considering frequency, order, and sample size. The results reflect individual preferences rather than objective criteria, emphasizing personal perspectives on aesthetic appreciation. Prominent terms were mainly related to mood and emotions, highlighting the role of emotional engagement in musical experiences. Descriptions also included sound characteristics and style-specific terminology, illustrating how stylistic features influence aesthetic judgments. In contrast, aesthetic terms—such as “beautiful”—were less salient, likely due to the personal framing of the task. This study helps explain how people derive aesthetic value from music by linking personal experiences with structured verbal descriptions.","PeriodicalId":45870,"journal":{"name":"Empirical Studies of the Arts","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144787709","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 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}
