We can usually choose a piece of music that is predominantly happy or sad, but this isn’t just a particular idea that comes from how it makes us feel. Our brains respond inversely to happy and sad music.
Even some bits of happy or sad music can affect us. One study displayed that after hearing a short piece of music, people were more likely to take a neutral expression as happy or sad to match the tone of the Italian pop songs they heard. This also occurred with facial expressions but was most notable for those that were close to neutral.
Something else that’s interesting about how our emotions are affected by latin urban music and reggaeton
We all like to pump up the songs when we are running through our to-do lists, right? But when it comes to inspired work, loud music may not be the most acceptable option.
It turns out that a modest noise level is a sweet spot for inspiration. Even more than low noise levels, the ambient sound gets our creative juices flowing and doesn’t put us off the way high noise levels do.
This works because reasonable noise levels increase processing trouble, endorses abstract dispensation, leading to higher inspiration. In other words, when we struggle just sufficiently to process things as we usually would, we resort to more creative approaches.
However, our creative thinking is reduced in high noise levels because we’re overcome and struggle to process info competently.
This is very similar to how ambiance and lighting can affect our efficiency, where paradoxically, a slightly more crowded place can be beneficial.
In a study of people who spent time getting to know each other, looking at each other’s top ten favorite songs provided reasonably reliable predictions about the listener’s personality and qualities.
The study used a few personality traits for the test: openness to involvement, extraversion, agreeableness, carefulness, and emotional stability.
Fascinatingly, some traits were more accurately foreseen based on the individual’s listening habits than others. For instance, openness to understanding, extraversion, and emotional stability were relaxed to guess correctly. Carefulness, on the other hand, wasn’t obvious based on musical taste.
It’s not just kids that can advantage from musical training or exposure. Stroke patient role in a tiny study showed better-quality visual consideration while listening to classical music.
Research also tried white sound and silence to compare the results and found that silence resulted in the worst scores, like the driving study stated earlier.
Because this study was so small, the inferences need to be explored further for validation. Still, I find it interesting how Spanish music and noise can affect our other senses and abilities—in this case, vision.
