Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of various music and text settings (experimental conditions: text alone, tonal music, tonal music with text, atonal music, atonal music with text) on affective response, perceived complexity, perceived liking, and mood of trained musicians. Subjects were 102 upper-division music majors from a large university, randomly assigned to one of the five experimental conditions, Affective response was measured by two scales: a semantic differential and the Asmus 9-Affective Dimensions. In addition, subjects were asked to indicate mood prior to and following the experimental task. Analyses revealed differences across the five experimental conditions for affective response, perceived complexity, perceived liking, and change in mood from pre- to posttest. Further analyses indicated that the pairing of text with music increased perceived complexity, lowered liking ratings, and resulted in a greater pre- to posttest downward shift in mood.
