Dynamics of emotional judgment in music (qualitative
dimension)
To investigate the dynamics of the emotions expressed by
music (at acoustical and musical structure levels)

Scenario 3 : Audience
Perception of emotion is the process of recognizing the
emotions expressed or represented in the music and opposes
to the induction of emotion which is the process of
experiencing emotions as a result of listening to music. A
major aspect of music is time, because music unfolds in time.
Using the GEMS model proposed by Zentner, Grandjean &
Scherer (2008), the aim of the present study is to investigate
to what extent, on a given dimension, participants agreed on
the emotion expressed by music. Although this model is
related to felt emotions, it is currently the most effective
attempt to describe emotions linked to music and accordingly
to investigate emotions expressed by music. A new approach
called “dynamic judgment” seems to be a promising avenue of
research to better understand the links between music and
emotions, especially linking these dynamic judgments to the
acoustical characteristics of the signal and the musical
structures, using a dynamic Brunswikian modeling of emotion
communication (Brunswik, 1956).
Following preliminary results and using the GEMS model, a
high reliability exists between subjects in the judgment of
several musical excerpts on a given dimension. Linking these
judgments with acoustic parameters and musical structure will
allow us to better understand the emotions expressed by
music and the process by which an emotion is attributed to a
piece of music. We propose to articulate three levels in the
process of perception: physical level (acoustic parameters),
perceptual level (perception of what is expressed in a piece of
music), and attribution of emotion via the method of dynamic
judgment.
To be defined
This experiment belongs to the scenario 3 of the project
(introduction of the audience) and is related partly to the
concept of emotional contagion. We want to understand the
relationships between performers and audience, the
mechanisms of perception between what is expressed by
performers and what is perceived by listeners.
