Harmonies of Taste
Although partner similarity in demographics, personal values, and personality has been well studied, little is known about partner similarity in aesthetic dispositions. Music preferences offer a particularly promising lens for examining this question because they function as powerful social signals that individuals seem to consider when forming relationships, for example, by showcasing their favorite music on dating apps. Across three studies and…
The role of attachment style in unhealthy music use
Music is a widely used tool for stress reduction and mood regulation, but its effectiveness may differ depending on individual characteristics and the emotion regulation strategies employed. In the present study, we investigated the association between (un)healthy music use and attachment style, a factor that shapes not only interpersonal behavior but also emotion regulation tendencies. Using a sample of 224 participants, we administered question…
The Accuracy of Temperament Ratings in Late Childhood and Early Adolescence and their Relation to Behavior Problems
Interrater agreement on child temperament and personality is often found to be low to moderate. While some interpret this finding as a psychometric problem, others argue that it may instead reflect the distinct contexts and perspectives that shape each informant's perception of the child. To gain a better understanding of this issue, we adapted the parent version of the Integrative Late Childhood Temperament Inventory (ILCTI) for use in children …
How much does performance quality matter in musical emotion induction? Main effects and interaction effects with listener features
Encapsulating musicality
Assessing aesthetic music-evoked emotions in a minute or less
The Geneva Emotional Music Scale (GEMS) is a widely used instrument to measure emotions evoked by music. Its original version includes 45 emotion-related adjectives that can be grouped into nine dimensions and three second-order factors. Because time is often critical, the same authors introduced a checklist that assesses each dimension with one item only (GEMS-9). The checklist is being increasingly used, but it remains at present unclear whethe…
Trajectories of relationship and sexual satisfaction over 2 years in the Covid‐19 pandemic
OBJECTIVE: Previous research on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on romantic relationships has mainly concentrated on short-term effects and average trends of change. This study aimed to explore different trajectories of relationship and sexual satisfaction from April 2020 to March 2022. METHOD: Including a cross-national sample of 2859 individuals, a latent class approach was applied to identify subgroups of sexual and relationship satisfacti…
Assessing Temperament Risk Factors in Late Childhood and Early Adolescence
Childhood temperament has a well-documented influence on later life outcomes, notably behavior problems, quality of interpersonal relationships, and academic achievement. However, there is at present a lack of brief measures that assess temperament characteristics which are represented across models of temperament in the late childhood and early adolescence period. To redress this gap, the aim of the current study was to develop and validate a sh…
The role of listener features in musical emotion induction
A prospective study of relationship and sexual satisfaction during the first year of the Covid ‐19 pandemic
OBJECTIVE: The COVID-19 pandemic had a strong impact on many aspects of life, particularly social relationships. Although there is some evidence regarding short-term effects of the pandemic on cohabitating couples or individuals, it is unclear to what extent these effects persist over time and whether they also apply to noncohabitating individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in relationship and sexual satisfaction among …
Early Detection of Temperament Risk Factors
Despite an extensive literature on associations between early childhood temperament and behavior problems, most of this evidence is based on general population samples. Hence, relatively little is known about the temperament characteristics of children who have been referred for in- or outpatient treatment of emotional and/or behavioral problems. Whether temperament-to-behavior problems identified in community samples would also be found in sampl…
Women’s Personal Resources
A sociocultural framework for understanding partner preferences of women and men
In the current sociocultural framework for understanding mating preferences, we propose that gender roles affect sex differences and similarities in mate preferences. Gender roles, in turn, are shaped by the unequal division of labour between women and men. As a consequence, mating preferences and choices should converge across the sexes as the weakening of this division puts the sexes in more similar social roles in their societies. To evaluate …
What Is Temperament Now ? Assessing Progress in Temperament Research on the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Goldsmith et al. (1987)
The now-classic article “What Is Temperament? Four Approaches” by H. H. Goldsmith et al. (1987) brought together originators of four prominent temperament theories—Rothbart, Thomas and Chess, Buss and Plomin, and Goldsmith—to address foundational questions about the nature of temperament. This article reviews what has been learned about the nature of temperament in the intervening 25 years, It begins with an updating of the 1987 consensus definit…
Handbook of temperament
Timely and authoritative, this unique handbook explores the breadth of current knowledge on temperament, from foundational theory and research to clinical applications. Leaders in the field examine basic temperament traits, assessment methods, and what brain imaging and molecular genetics reveal about temperament's biological underpinnings. The book considers the pivotal role of temperament in parent-child interactions, attachment, peer relations…
Homer'sProphecy
In hisOdyssey, Homer described a particular kind of music-evoked emotion, a tapestry of wonder, dazzle, entrancement and enchantment which has been largely ignored in recent work on music and emotion. In this article, our work on the characterization and classification of music-evoked emotion, which allowed us to identify 45 emotion terms relating to emotive states typically and recurrently induced by music, will be recapitulated. A model with ni…
