MUSEMAP

Music Emotion Assessment and Personality Lab

At the Music, Emotion, Assessment, and Personality Lab we examine personality and emotion across a variety of domains, notably personality development, close relationships, and musical-aesthetic experiences.

We use surveys, experiments, longitudinal methods, and also develop new methods such as tools for assessing music-evoked emotions (GEMS), musical ability (PROMS), and child temperament risk factors (ICTI).

Our recent projects include an analysis of relationship satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic, musical mood congruency effects, a new database of emotion-rated songs (EMMA), and an interdisciplinary collaboration on music recommender systems.

Case reports of convicted offenders offending again after being deemed „low risk“ are often in subject of heated discussions in the media. How do professionals assess the risk of someone to reoffend?

Children with a narcissistic predisposition are mo

Children with a narcissistic predisposition are more likely to show physiological signs of stress when anticipating a performance compared to those with a high self esteem. Why could that be? We hypothesized a bit. And, again: having high levels of Narcissism is not the same as a clinical diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and is not something „bad“. Those are misconceptions!

Do you enjoy performing? Or do you feel very stressed about it before going on stage? And how is that related to Narcissistic Predispositions in kids? Well, our latest post touches on the topic! What we would like to stress is that we are not talking about Narcissism as a clinical personality disorder, but rather a trait level people have.

We know, we know. Talking about „good“ and „

We know, we know. Talking about „good“ and „bad“ people doesn‘t take the complexity of individuals into perspective, and when we talk about „feeling bad for someone“, it‘s more sympathy than empathy (which is important to distinguish! Empathy doesn‘t mean excusing actions). But whether or not people that have behaved immorally receive the same amount of empathy that another person would is an important question! What do you think: do you empathize with „bad“ people the same way you would with any other individual? And if not: why not?
