Translated title:
The effect of music on the recognition of emotion in facial expressions: Scientific and musicological perspectives
Summary:
Undoubtedly music is an important means for modern society’s entertainment. It is involved in many everyday activities and influences our perception of what surrounds us (P.N.Juslin, P.Laukka 2010 ; J.A.Sloboda 2001 ; A.Wells, E.A.Hakanen 1991 ; S.Koelsch 2010). According to our present scientific knowledge, music can affect certain aspects of our visual perception (W.Jeong et al. 2010 ;J.Jolij, M.Meurs 2011 ; Α.Μ.Proverbio et al. 2015). In the present study we designed and implemented an experiment based on the experimental methodology and findings of a previous study by N.Logeswaran and J.Battacharya (2009). Specifically, our aim was to conduct a similar experiment in order to explore the possible influence of music listening on facial expression of emotions in the case of a typical Greek population sample. Our findings seem refute this possibility since, at least in our sample, music listening failed to influence the judgment regarding the emotional content of facial expressions.
