La música que escuchan las nuevas generaciones
Para los jóvenes, la música no solo es un objeto de consumo estético; también cumple una función social, a la que atribuyen diversos valores que influencian su identidad y sus relaciones sociales. Así, el objetivo de este artículo es evaluar cómo se estructuran sus preferencias musicales y qué diferencias existen en función del género y del rango de edad, además de estudiar qué estereotipos asocian a los estilos que más escuchan según dichas vari…
Potential spaces
Introduction: Following positive outcomes of music therapy-based skills-sharing projects undertaken there in 2009, this doctoral research responded to a locally identified need by classroom practitioners at a Belarusian Development Centre seeking to develop relationships with children with complex needs.Method The study employed a convergent mixed-methods, pre- and post-intervention design. Winnicott's theory of the holding environment provided t…
What is ‘open-earedness’, and how can it be measured
Recent years have seen some fundamental changes in the study of responses to music: the growth of neuroscientific approaches, in particular, is throwing new light on the role of imagination, affect and emotion. One focus has been on the nature of musical preferences in relation to other affective and cognitive judgements, and another has been on the issue of changes in musical preference across the lifespan. One explanatory concept which has prov…

Ownership and autonomy in early learning
This article provides a brief review of the main phases and findings of the Froebel Research Fellowship project, which has been funded by the Froebel Trust (previously the Incorporated Froebel Educational Institute) since 2002. The project is investigating the extent to which Froebelian ideals, such as the notion that children’s knowledge should grow from within rather than from outside the child, might be met within the demands of contemporary e…

Early career challenges in secondary school music teaching
The article reports an Economic and Social Research Council‐funded study of the early career experiences of secondary school music teachers in England, set within a wider national picture of decreasing age‐related pupil engagement with school music, career perceptions of music teaching, variable patterns of teacher recruitment and possible mismatches between the musical biographies of young people and intending music teachers. Qualitative and qua…

Developmental Psychology of Music
The Social and Applied Psychology of Music
"Music is so ubiquitous that it can be easy to overlook the powerful influence it exerts in so many areas of our lives - from birth, through childhood, to old age. The Social and Applied Psychology of Music considers the value of music in everyday life, answering some of the perennial questions about music."--Jacket.
Musical Preference, Identification, and Familiarity
The authors investigate whether there were significant differences in preferences for, familiarity with, and identification of Chinese, Malay, and Indian music between adolescent students from Singapore ( n = 78) and the United Kingdom ( n = 53). Also explored are the relationships among these three variables. Students were asked to rate their preference for and familiarity with Chinese, Malay, and Indian excerpts on 7-point Likert-type scales an…
Musical Style Discrimination in the Early Years
Previous research has suggested that by the age of six, children display high levels of competence in identifying and reliably distinguishing between different musical styles. Until now, it has been difficult to investigate musical style sensitivity in the early years because the test procedures have relied heavily on the use of language, including the use of verbal instructions and written responses, and because they have demanded levels of conc…
Teachers' perceptions of their relationships with children who speak English as an additional language in early childhood settings
The study investigated ten early childhood teachers' perceptions of their relationships with 120 children (mean age = 4 years 3 months), of whom 41 children spoke English as an additional language (EAL: mean age = 4 years 2 months). The Student—Teacher Relationship Scale (STRS) was employed to elicit teachers' perceptions of their relationships in the first and third terms of a school year. The results show that, while children who have the least…
Developing identities and attitudes in musicians and classroom music teachers
Background.The Western classical training of many secondary music specialist teachers may be inappropriate for the demands of the contemporary secondary school classroom, leading to a conflict between their self-concepts as 'musicians' and as 'teachers'.Aims.To undertake a short-term longitudinal comparison of the developing identities and the attitudes of a group of intending specialist secondary music teachers, during the transition into their …
Social Relations in a Secondary School
Drawing on the great wealth of knowledge and experience of education practitioners and theorists, the volumes in the Sociology of Education set of the International library of Sociology explore the very important relationship between education and society. These books became standard texts for actual and intending teachers. Drawing upon comparative material from Israel, France and Germany, titles in this set also discuss the key questions of girl…
Uses of Music in Everyday Life
The value of music in people's everyday lives depends on the uses they make of it and the degree to which they engage with it, which are in turn dependent on the contexts in which they hear it. Very few studies have investigated people's experiences of music in naturalistic, everyday circumstances, and this exploratory study provides some initial normative data on who people listen with, what they listen to (and what their emotional responses to …

Musical identities
Music is a tremendously powerful channel through which people develop their personal and social identities. Music is used to communicate emotions, thoughts, political statements, social relationships, and physical expressions. But, just as language can mediate the construction and negotiation of developing identities, music can also be a means of communication through which aspects of people's identities are constructed. Music can have a profound…
Age variations in judgments of ‘great’ art works
This paper reports the results of two large‐scale surveys concerning nominations of ‘greatness’ in the arts. In Study 1, 1088 respondents to a national newspaper survey nominated the greatest art works of the past 1000 years. Analyses indicated that there was some, albeit limited, evidence that older respondents nominated older art works, but no evidence of a tendency to nominate works produced during the participants' adolescence/early adulthood…

The importance of music to adolescents
Aims. The study aims to determine the importance of music to adolescents in England, and investigates why they listen to and perform music. Sample. A total of 2465 adolescents (1149 males; 1266 females; 50 participants did not state their sex) between 13 and 14 years of age who were attending Year 9 at one of 22 secondary schools in the North Staffordshire region of England. Method. A questionnaire asked participants (a) about their degree of inv…
The Functions of Music in Everyday Life
What psychological functions does music serve in everyday life? In this paper we argue that the answer to this question is changing as a result of current social and technological changes in music itself, and that these changes force us to re-evaluate the role of the social context in music psychology. After describing the changes we go on to outline the psychological functions of music in everyday life in terms of the cognitive, emotional and so…
Music and Adolescent Identity
This paper reports four studies which investigated the function of musical preference as an identifying ‘badge’ by which adolescents express their own self‐concepts and make judgements of others. Studies 1 and 2 indicated that older and younger adolescents, respectively, hold normative expectations about the values and characteristics of fans of particular musical styles. Study 3 showed that 13‐14‐ and 18‐19‐year‐olds hold normative expectations …
Developing Concepts of Musical Style
This paper describes three studies which investigate age changes in different aspects of listeners' responses to musical styles. In the first study, 105 children between the ages of 8 and 14 years were asked make “odd one out” discriminations amongst triads of classical and popular excerpts drawn from four stylistic groups in each case. There were no consistent age differences, and there was a much higher proportion of correct identifications of …

Effects of Age, Gender, and Training on Musical Preferences of British Secondary School Students
The effects of age, gender, and musical training on preference ratings for 12 musical style categories were investigated in a sample of 278 British secondary school pupils drawn from the 11–12- and 15–16-year-old age-groups. There were no significant age x gender interactions, but a number of significant main effects were found. There was a general decline in liking with age, and this was particularly apparent for “serious” styles, although those…
The Effects of Repetition on Liking for Music
An inverted-U theory of the relationship between the subjective complexity of and liking for different musical pieces was developed. The theory was then used to derive some predictions about the effects of repetition on liking for pieces of music of different styles chosen to represent contrasting levels of objective complexity. These predictions were tested in two experiments. The first experiment was a short time-scale study in which two pieces…
The Attractiveness of Names
After a brief account of the importance, and neglect, of the psychological study of names, the role of familiarity in liking for names is investigated. Some empirical research on first names and surnames is set in the context of two opposing theories in experimental aesthetics: the “mere exposure” and “inverted-U” hypotheses. A preference-feedback hypothesis that enables us to resolve some apparently contradictory results from the experiments, an…

The effect of familiarity on preferences for surnames
A sample of 40 male and 40 female subjects rated either their familiarity with or their liking for 60 one-syllable and two-syllable surnames selected randomly from a local telephone directory. Linear and curvilinear regression analyses strongly corroborated the hypothesis of an inverted-U familiarity-favourability relationship. These results, together with those of earlier investigations using other classes of stimuli, are discussed in the light …

Psychological Factors Affecting Preferences for First Names
Anecdotal and anthropological evidence suggests that personal names are of considerable psychological significance, but they have not received much attention from psychologists. The relationship between the familiarity of first names and the degree to which they lare liked is of particular interest from the point of view of research in related areas of experimental aesthetics. Evidence from investigations carried out in England and Australia sugg…
Selecting Creativity Tests for Use in Research
This study looks at the problem of creativity tost selection by examining the relationships between 15 divergent and non-divergent tests. This practical problem raises two main theoretical issues: whether 'creativity' is a unitary dimension across and within tests, and what relationship this range of abilities bears to IQ. A secondary aim is to evaluate four new tests by comparison with the 11 others. The tests were administered, along with two I…

Social factors in conservation
This study is a partial replication, with variations, of the experiments of McGarrigle & Donaldson (1975) and Light et al. (1979). Sixty-four 5-year-old children were tested on traditional Piagetian tests of conservation of number under a standard control condition, and one of two experimental conditions: one (M) in which the task materials were apparently accidentally transformed by a mischievous monkey manipulated by a second experimenter, and …

Situational Influences on Divergent Thinking
S ummary . Three tests of divergent thinking were administered, along with Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices Test, to two matched groups of 10‐ to 11‐year‐old school children in untimed ‘game‐like’ and untimed ‘test‐like’ conditions. Analysis of the relative performances of the two groups showed that the removal of time limits appears to depress divergent test scores in a test‐like context; it was concluded, however, that the characteristics …
Sex Roles in Divergent Thinking
A content analysis of responses to the 'Circles'; test, designed to elicit information about sex-typing, was developed on a pilot sample of 10- to 11-year-old school children. When this analysis was applied to the main sample, characteristic sex-typed response patterns were broadly replicated, as was the finding that there was no sex difference in total Fluency scores. When instructed to adopt opposite-sex response styles on a parallel form of th…

Liking words as a function of the experienced frequency of their occurrence
A hypothetical inverted‐U curve is postulated linking liking of stimuli to familiarity with them. An experiment using a special procedure was carried out in which the relationship was investigated for words, ranging from very unfamiliar to very familiar, between favourability and familiarity. The results conformed to the theoretical curve. This indicated that the positive correlation between the variables reported by several researchers (e.g. Zaj…

The Development of Ideational Fluency
S ummary . 199 schoolchildren in five groups at 1‐year intervals between the ages of 7 and 12 completed a verbal and a figural divergent test along with the Draw‐a‐Man test in a preliminary normative investigation of age trends in ideational fluency. The broadly consistent increases with age found on the verbal divergent and Draw‐a‐Man tests were not present on the figural divergent test, and there were no consistent effects of sex on these resul…

Techniques of Computer-Assisted Generalization / Accommodating Subjective Cognition and Objective Logic
Interactive Computer Graphics involves communication between the user and the computer by means of standard graphics commands and algorithms written to perform highly specialized functions. This communication between human operator and computers is an interaction between subjective cognition and objective logic. As computers operate in a purely programmable objective mode, what then is the role of the subjective cartographer? Many cartographers n…

The Developmental Psychology of Music
This book sets out the psychological basis of musical development in children and adults. The study has two major objectives: to review the research findings, theories and methodologies relevant to the developmental study of music; and to offer a framework within which these can be organised so as to pave the way for future research. It describes the relationship between thinking and music, and discusses the relationship between thinking and musi…

The Effects of Stimulus Familiarity on Conservation-Type Responses to Tone Sequences
The body of research on music conservation is briefly outlined and critically evaluated; although most of the results of this research are in line with predictions from Jean Piaget's theory, there are many reasons the analogy with nonmusic conservation tasks may be invalid. These issues were investigated in the present study by comparing the performances of equivalent groups of 6-year-olds and 8-year-olds in the United Kingdom and the United Stat…

A Scale for the Assessment of Hedonic Tone the Snaith–Hamilton Pleasure Scale
BACKGROUND: Hedonic tone and its absence, anhedonia, are important in psychopathological research, but instruments for their assessment are lengthy and probably culturally biased. METHOD: A new scale was constructed from the responses of a large sample of the general population to a request to list six situations which afforded pleasure. The most frequent items were reviewed and those likely to be affected by cultural setting, age, or sex were re…

Responses to music in aerobic exercise and yogic relaxation classes
Berlyne's theory of aesthetic response was investigated in two naturalistic music listening situations. Fifty participants in an aerobic exercise class, and 50 participants in a yogic relaxation class were presented with five three‐minute musical excerpts representing a range of complexity. Participants rated these excerpts on scales of either liking or complexity and appropriateness. The relationship between ratings of liking and complexity was …
Liking for Musical Styles
This paper reports two experiments on liking for musical styles. The first study investigated the relative extent to which liking for musical excerpts is associated with liking for the styles in which they are performed and for the pieces on which they are based. Fifty subjects were presented with 24 short musical excerpts comprising 5 original pop music pieces and 19 ‘cover’ versions of them in different musical styles. The results indicated tha…
