The emotion trajectory of self-selected jazz music with lyrics: A psychophysiological perspective

Have you ever wondered how music can affect your emotions and physiological responses? This groundbreaking study delves into the relationship between lyrics, participant-selected music, and emotion trajectory on self-reported emotional responses and physiological responses.

A new study shows that music with lyrics can elicit stronger emotional responses, and that the order of emotions in a playlist (emotion trajectory) matters for how we feel. The research has important implications for understanding musical emotions and their role in mental health support.

So, next time you listen to music, consider how the lyrics and emotion trajectory may be influencing your emotional and physiological responses.

Can we trust self-report data?

John Shaver, Martin Lang & colleagues went to the trouble of benchmarking self-reported religious service attendance against measured attendance in remote Fiji.

TL; DR: there is measurement error. In the villages studied, people overstate religious service attendance.
