This dataset contains data from a listening experiment, aimed at investigating the relationships between self-construal, music preferences, and emotions. This project comprises a listening task and a questionnaire. For the listening task, participants will listen to their favourite piece of music in the laboratory using free music streaming services such as Spotify or YouTube. The questionnaire will include open-ended questions about their favourite music, their favourite ways of listening to it, and why that is their favourite music. The questionnaire also includes "select-all-that-apply" questions and checklists, standardised self-report measures, and demographic questions.
