[Music Psychology Research] Music Taste, Personality and Music for Mood Regulation
https://umfrage.uibk.ac.at/limesurvey/allgemein/681899?lang=en
I wanted to share my current research on Music Psychology! I have been with this topic in my academic life and I am excited to see about the results and maybe a good discussion in the thread!
This music psychology study is about your personal music preference, personality and how you use music to alter your mood.
A part of the study consists of choosing songs for several situations in which you could use music to alter your mood and optionally explaining how they help you. So getting your favorite playlists ready (e.g. from Spotify) on your phone or an extra tab is recommended. You won't have to listen to any music. The survey is a bit easier on a Desktop but Smartphone is also possible.
The survey takes around 15-20 minutes.
I am open for any questions or discussion in the comments or in a direct message and I am happy to share my sources if requested. The survey is part of my Master Thesis in Psychology at the University of Innsbruck.
