Music Psychology

This project broadly aims to consider the relationship between music preferences, including particular musical styles, and specific aspects of personality.

This study aims to learn about what music people listen to and why – the emphasis is on the different ways in which music can now be accessed. Accordingly, you are being asked to take part in a research study on psychological aspects of music listening, including preference for particular musical styles.

The study investigates perception and evaluation of music. You will be asked to read four short notes of musicians’ biographies, listen to four different excerpts of their live concerts and then give your evaluation of the music. Finally, you will be asked a few demographic and opinion questions.

This study involves listening to a particular song and then responding to some questions to indicate your reaction to this piece of music. It also features some more general questionnaires and activities to complete.

We are looking for music listeners over 60 years to volunteer for our study on the effects of music. Volunteers will complete a questionnaire measuring their music listening habits, personality and wellbeing.

This study measures one’s type of musical engagement and appreciation. Participating is easy: After listening to a self-chosen piece of music, a series of statements is presented regarding how you just experienced the music. I would like to invite music listeners across a variety of musical genres.

The MARCS Institute is currently conducting an online study investigating the perception of music sung by a choir. You will be asked to listen to several pairs of choir performance recordings, and your task will be to judge which performance you prefer within the pair.

Do you find that certain music makes you feel really good while other music can make you feel a bit low? If you have ever suffered from depression, you are invited to participate in an online survey about how listening to music effects your mood.

This questionnaire will ask you questions about your background and experience with music. Then, you will be asked to reconstruct the previous day by listing what you did as episodes. For each episode, you will then answer a short series of questions.

We wish to ask viewers to rate the recorded 2-D spot animations of the recorded gestures on a musical emotion rating scale to test to what extent the musical affective experience of conductors can be conveyed by these animations to viewers who do not hear the music.

This study includes two questionnaires, one value survey and one music questionnaire. It asks about listening habits now and when you were younger and general life values. Thank you for agreeing to take part.

This short online survey is about your music listening habits and use of technology. All participants are welcome, whether you love or hate technology and listen to a little or a lot of music.

What are your attitudes towards how technology has impacted on the way in which we now access music? This forms the focus of this study where your personality is of particular interest. This short study should take approximately 10 minutes.

This brief survey (approx. 10 minutes) is part of a project to develop a questionnaire on group singing and its main psychological, social and bodily effects. Participants should be group/choir singers over 18.
