TITLE: Emotional Responses to Music: The Need to Consider Underlying Mechanisms AUTHORS: Patrik N. Juslin and Daniel Vastfjall ABSTRACT: Research indicates that people value music primarily because of the emotions it evokes. Yet, the notion of musical emotions remains controversial, and researchers have so far been unable to offer a satisfactory account of such emotions. We argue that the study of musical emotions has suffered from a neglect of underlying mechanisms. Specifically, researchers have studied musical emotions without regard to how they were evoked, or have assumed that the emotions must be based on the 'default' mechanism for emotion induction, a cognitive appraisal. Here, we present a novel theoretical framework featuring six additional mechanisms through which music listening may induce emotions: (a) Brain stem reflexes, (b) Evaluative conditioning, (c) Emotional contagion, (d) Visual imagery, (e) Episodic memory, and (f) Musical expectancy. We propose that these mechanisms differ concerning such characteristics as their information focus, ontogenetic development, key brain regions, cultural impact, induction speed, degree of volitional influence, modularity, and dependence on musical structure. By synthesizing theory and findings from different domains, we are able to provide the first set of hypotheses that can help researchers to distinguish among the mechanisms. We show that failure to control for the underlying mechanism may lead to inconsistent or non-interpretable findings. Thus, we argue that the new framework may guide future research and help to resolve previous disagreements in the field. We conclude that music evokes emotions through mechanisms that are not unique to music, and that the study of musical emotions could benefit the emotion field as a whole by providing novel paradigms for emotion induction.

Tuesday philosophy talk - CHANGE IN TIME

by Krisztina Biber

Dear All, Upon some students` requests - because of a time conflict with a recently added Gender Studies lecture from 3.30 PM - the starting time of this lecture had to be changed. Sorry about any inconveniences caused! ***************************************** The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk by Iddo Landau (University of Haifa) on Should Marital Relations be Non-Hierarchical? Issues in Distributive Justice and Love 5.10 PM, Tuesday, 19 February 2008, Gellner room (9. Nádor str. 1st floor) ABSTRACT The paper examines whether there is a justification for an egalitarian norm widely accepted today, which I call the Marital Non-Hierarchy Standard (MNHS). According to this standard, marital relationships should be non-hierarchical; neither partner may be more dominant than the other. If I want to spend our vacation on the hillside, and you prefer the beach, we should find an alternative that satisfies us both equally. The MNHS is exceptional: hierarchies are widely believed to be morally legitimate, within certain limits, in almost all associations, including many financial, professional, educational and recreational ones, in almost all spheres of life. How might the MNHS be justified? It might be suggested that marital relations should be based on love, and love requires that lovers will have the same degree of power. However, philosophical analyses of love by, e.g., Solomon, Fisher, Kolodny, Soble or Newton-Smith, which present various characteristics as essential or typical of love, do not show that love excludes hierarchy. One can value one's partner, promote her interests, be attracted, committed, or dedicated to her, etc. while having unequal power to the loved one. Common experience, and the comparison of marital love to other types of love (e.g., parental, filial), also suggest that love does not exclude hierarchy. It might also be suggested that justice requires that lovers will have equal power. However, theories of distributive justice such as Rawls's, Sen's, Dworkin's, Miller's, Nozick's, and almost all others do not justify the MNHS, because they stipulate proportional equality while the MNHS stipulates strict equality in actual power. Thus, both the "love requirement" and almost all theories of distributive justice do not show that it is morally wrong to have non-MNHS relationships. Until other justifications of the MNHS are presented, it is unclear why it should be accepted. Kriszta Biber Department Coordinator Philosophy Department Tel: 36-1-327-3806 Fax: 36-1-327-3072
