摘要

和谐偏好（PfH）被认为代表了个体对相对简单、规则和/或和谐的刺激物的偏好差异。我们测试了 PfH 的变化是否也反映了个体对更熟悉的刺激物的偏好程度，而不论其结构特征如何。为此，我们研究了 PfH 与两种偏好熟悉程度的行为测量之间的关联，一种是基于单纯暴露效应强度的个体差异，另一种是基于对西方音乐语料中出现频率较高或较低的和弦的偏好。我们的研究结果表明，PfH 与这两种测量结果之间存在适度但可靠的正相关。这些研究结果表明，PfH 至少部分反映了人们对更熟悉的刺激物的偏好，而不仅仅是结构上更简单、更规则和/或更和谐的刺激物。

Preference for Harmony: A Preference for Structural Simplicity, Familiarity, or Both?

The preference for harmony (PfH) has been posited to represent an individual difference in the preference for stimuli that are relatively simple, regular, and/or harmonious. We tested whether variations in PfH may also reflect the extent to which individuals prefer stimuli that are more familiar, irrespective of their structural features. To this end, we examined the association between PfH and two behavioral measures of the preference for familiarity, one based on individual differences in the strength of the mere-exposure effect and the other based on preferences for musical chords that appear more versus less frequently within Western musical corpora. Our results showed modest but reliable positive correlations between PfH and both measures. These findings qualify the original interpretation of PfH by suggesting that it at least partially reflects a predilection for stimuli that are more familiar, not just structurally simpler, more regular, and/or more harmonious.
