Link to the study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3682130/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3682130/ > Three types of musical excerpts of approximately 30 s each were used. > Forty-four people (25 females and 19 males) participated in our experiment (mean age of 25.3 years; SD = 6.6). Seventeen of these individuals were professional musicians or college students who were majoring in music (the “musician group”; n = 17). The other 27 participants were working people or college students who were not majoring in music (the “non-musician group”; n = 27). > The participants evaluated both perceived emotion and felt emotion by responding to 62 descriptive words and phrases on a scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) using the numerical keypad.
