Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare participants' perceived emotion following harmonic changes in music. In this study, 144 participants, aged 19 to 29 years, listened to music online that included low to high harmonic progression in tonal music (major-minor). After listening to each piece of music, participants were asked to rate 4 items using a 7-point Likert scale: emotional potency, arousal, degree to which the harmony impacted the listener's emotions, and listener's preference for the music. There were significant differences between each of the four items upon the level of harmonic progression. When the participants were divided into two groups (i.e., those with a background in music and those with no background in music), there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of emotional potency, but there was no significant interaction effect. This study confirmed that various emotional responses in listeners can be induced by controlling the exogenous variables in musical excerpts. Based on this, it is expected that the harmonic progression level can be provided to the client to be used as an effective therapeutic tool in music therapy intervention.

본 연구의 목적은 화음의 전개 수준에 따라 감상자가 지각하는 정서 차이를 비교하는 데 있다. 만 19세-29세 사이 음악 전공자 73명, 음악 비전공자 71명의 성인 144명을 대상으로, 조성(장조-단조)과 화음 전개 수준(낮음-높음)이 서로 다른 총 네 가지의 음악을 온라인으로 제공하여 실험을 진행하였다. 연구 참여자들은 각 음악에 대해 정서적 역동감, 각성, 화음이 감정에 영향을 미치는 수준, 선호도의 총 네 가지 항목을 리커트 7점 척도로 평가하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 화음 전개 수준과 조성에 따라 감상자가 지각하는 정서적 역동감, 각성, 화음이 감정에 영향을 미치는 수준, 선호도에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 둘째, 전공 배경을 기준으로 하여 음악 전공자와 음악 비전공자로 그룹을 나누고 화음의 전개 수준 차이에 따른 그룹 간 정서 지각을 분석하였을 때, 정서적 역동감에서 그룹 간 유의한 차이가 나타났으나, 각성, 감정에 영향을 미치는 수준, 선호도에서의 그룹 간 상호작용 효과는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 조성, 감상자의 외생 변인을 통제하여 제공한 음악에서 화음의 전개 수준에 따른 감상자의 다양한 정서 반응의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 결과는 내담자의 필요에 따른 음악 선곡 시, 화음의 전개 수준을 다르게 제공하는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
