In Western classical music, relationships between intonation in perception and performance have shown to be less straightforward than one might expect. In this study, we investigated leading-tone intonation for solo violin, as perceived and performed by six accomplished violinists. We selected excerpts from classical violin repertoire, each of which included ascending semitone intervals leading up to tonally stable tones. Each violinist performed the excerpts and participated in a listening study and a semi-structured interview. Prior recordings of the excerpts, manipulated in terms of the pitch of the leading tones, were used in the listening study to obtain information about each participant’s accepted perceptual range of leading-tone intonation. The violinists’ preferred semitone sizes were between 80 and 90 cents, on average, both in their perceptual preferences and their performance practice. This group average appeared to approximate the “standard” of leading-tone intonation that the participants consistently mentioned in their verbal protocols. However, the perceptual preferences and the performance intonation also varied both within and between individuals. Given the overall sharp standard of leading-tone intonation, even an equal-tempered leading tone might sometimes represent an expressive gesture in the violinists’ artistic practice.","PeriodicalId":47977,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Music","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144165574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, growing recognition of changes in the affective meaning of specific cues over time raises intriguing questions about the degree to which these links hold across historical eras. In particular, the traditional focus on compositional principles from common-practice period music (ca. 1600–1900) might not capture how emotion is perceived in later compositions. Here we explore perceived emotion ratings in a set of 24 preludes by Dmitri Shostakovich (Op. 34), comparing the effects of cues in his preludes vs. those by Bach and Chopin. We find that prosodic cues (i.e., pitch height, timing) play a stronger role than mode in these pieces. Because music theorists widely recognize Shostakovich’s music as tonal, this result reflects not his abandonment of mode, but rather his decision to use it differently than his predecessors. This provides an important perspective complementing a growing body of research using score-based analyses to explore historical changes in the “meaning” of specific cues. Our findings illustrate how modern compositions can provide novel insight into cues’ historically changing roles in emotional communication.","PeriodicalId":47977,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Music","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144113539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this review was to provide an updated search of the research on treatments for PA in musicians and conduct a meta-analysis for available randomised controlled trials (RCTs). A systematic search identified 57 published articles on interventions targeting a reduction in PA symptoms in musicians. Results identified a range of intervention types, with cognitive-behavioural-based therapies most studied. Quality appraisal identified a low–moderate risk of bias, with a lack of detailed information on study design and participant awareness noted as contributors to studies falling in the moderate range. A total of 16 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis, which revealed treatment is more effective than control. Moderators of intervention delivery (individual or group) and age of participants (adolescents, college students, or a mixture of ages) were not significant. Future studies are recommended to be grounded in a theoretical model with the intervention targeting core contributing and maintaining factors, with a focus on greater methodological rigour. Comparing intervention types in future meta-analysis will aid in supporting one treatment above or equal to another.","PeriodicalId":47977,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Music","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144097083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally treated categorically, here we build upon recent work exploring this crucial musical construct on a continuum, an approach we refer to as ‘relative mode’. Specifically, we formulate and evaluate a computational model calculating this property from either symbolic or audio representations of music by adapting common key-finding techniques traditionally used to identify mode categorically. Here, we use them to infer the relative mode based on differences between the potential strength of major and minor key candidates. The model evaluation is based on a corpus of excerpts from Preludes by Bach, Chopin, and Shostakovich previously assessed by expert music analysts. Our results suggest that the model (using only audio files) is able to predict relative mode to a degree closely aligning with experts (using both audio and notated scores). A pragmatic set of parameters for the model is identified, and the shortcomings and the applicability of the model to other eras and genres are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47977,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Music","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has shown relationships between earworms and schizotypy as well as subclinical OCD. The aim of this study was to investigate these associations in a Hungarian sample of 4301 participants. We hypothesized that (1) there would be significant correlations between aspects of schizotypy, subclinical OCD and earworms; (2) higher scores on either the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory – Revised (OCI-R) or the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire – Brief Revised (SPQ-BR) would be associated with more negative attitudes toward earworm experiences, as measured with the Negative valence factor of the Involuntary Musical Imagery Scale (IMIS), as well as (3) longer and more frequent earworm episodes. Bayesian Kendall’s tau-b correlations showed weak relationships between several aspects of both schizotypy and subclinical OCD, and introspection related to earworms and earworm-related movement. S tructural equation models showed that subclinical OCD had a weak, positive association with negative attitudes toward earworms, while schizotypy had a positive association with earworm frequency, earworm-related movement, and earworm-related introspection. These results partially support previous findings, and provide new, relevant information about the associations of personality traits and earworms in a large sample.","PeriodicalId":47977,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Music","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But although there have been several studies on the experience and psychological benefits of music listening and music making, few have focused specifically on musical improvisation outside the practices of music therapy and jazz improvisation. In this study, we aim to explore the phenomenology of musical improvisation to find the possible psychological motives and everyday mental health functions related to it. Semi-structured interviews were recorded with 11 musicians (2 female/10 male, mean age 27.8 years) and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The analysis found two master themes (with five emergent themes): self-actualization (with need for growth, self-expression, and peak experiences) and intersubjectivity (with receptivity and rapport). In this empirical study, we found that musical improvisation provides a medium for self-expression and self-exploration, and by creating an intersubjective field within the improvisers and listeners. These motives also reliably trigger peak and optimal experiences, such as flow state.","PeriodicalId":47977,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Music","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143915972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although a broadening demographic indicates growing diversification and inclusivity within club culture, experiences differ between groups and reveal socially constructed norms associated with age and gender. This study investigated older women’s motivations for and experiences of participating in Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and explored how this group sustains and maintains their involvement. One hundred and thirty-six female clubbers aged 40 years or over (age range = 40–65 years) completed a survey. EDM participation played a central role in women’s mental and physical health and provided them with social connectedness, an outlet for self-expression, and a release from pressures of daily life. Despite these positive benefits, participation was not without challenges as women reported navigating other people’s views on what was deemed to be ‘appropriate’ behaviour for older, female clubbers and highlighted grappling with their own prejudices about age. The research identified strategies they use to manage their continued participation in a music scene traditionally associated with youth and considered the extent to which their experiences of ageing affect and shape their involvement.","PeriodicalId":47977,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Music","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143893535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed a novel framework to categorize rituals based on their instrumental purpose, psychological influence, and symbolic significance. With 93% of participants incorporating rituals into their preparation, these practices range from symbolic actions to direct performance strategies, highlighting a deep engagement with rituals across a spectrum of music disciplines. Our research further explores the development of these rituals through personal experimentation and community influence, emphasizing the critical role of educators and peers in shaping these practices. Group rituals, in particular, strengthen feelings of camaraderie and support among ensemble members, reinforcing the importance of rituals in creating a cohesive and supportive musical community.
