An Arts-Based Inquiry into Affective Experiences with Music: Priming Experiment Data

This dataset contains the data from a priming experiment, aimed at investigating whether listening to different music induces shifts in one's self-construal. In this study, participants completed a pre-test questionnaire regarding their self-construal. Thereafter, participants were randomly assigned to one of three music conditions: Chinese music, Western music, or control condition (no music). Participants then completed the post-test questionnaire regarding their self-construal. Participants also completed a demographic questionnaire about their age, gender, disability, nationality, race/ethnicity, education level, musical identity, and years of musical training.

This study received ethical approval by the University of Sheffield's ethics review procedure, as administered by the Department of Music (application reference #061030).
