Outline of Final Research Achievements

Prior research on individual differences in ‘groove,’ the sensation of urge to move body when listening to music, has been limited to musical ability. Thus, the present study investigated and tested the hypothesis that groove is due to non-musical individual difference factors, such as age and mood. Study 1 examined individual differences in the characteristics of groovy songs, such as body size, age, and gender. Study 2 examined the relationships between temporary mood and groove. The results showed that (1) Groove is influenced by non-musical individual characteristics such as age. (2) On the other hand, regarding individual differences, the influence of physical characteristics may be less significant for groove. (3) Groove is also influenced by temporary factors such as mood, which is also relevant for characteristics of musical stimulus.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

グルーヴの個人差の先行研究は音楽的な能力が主であった。一方で、日常場面で影響することが予想される多様な個人差は見過ごされていた。本研究はそこに着目し、一過性の気分のグルーヴへの影響などを示し、音楽と身体の関係に独自の学術的観点を加えた。また、成果はグルーヴの研究のみならず、音楽聴取による気分変化などの研究にも寄与する。
社会的意義としては、教育やエクササイズなど、音楽と身体が結びつく様々な実践場面で、個人差を意識したオーダーメイドのプログラム開発などに貢献しうる。とくに、実践場面での影響が大きいことが予想される年齢や心理状況などの個人差の要素を検討することで、より効果的な音楽の活用が期待される。
