Collective Preference

Music is frequently used to regulate one’s affect. Yet, societal affordances for emotions vary across cultures, meaning that music preferences should reflect these differences in emotional affordances as representations of culture (cultural products). By quantifying music through musical features, we can examine the cultural psychological processes involved in music preferences. The exploratory section (Studies 1 and 2) identified differences in music preferences for East-Asian and Western popular music on Spotify (combined N = 1006644). In interpreting these results, we developed a theory on danceability as a music feature, that represents cultural affordances for high arousal emotions. Subsequent confirmatory studies (Studies 3-6) tested this theory by examining danceability and the role of emotion in music preferences through: participant self-reported preferences for music arousal and music function (Study 3: N = 268 participants from Singapore and the US), arousal and cultural orientation in lyrics (Study 4: N = 343 songs from Singapore, Hong Kong, US and Canada), emotion prevalence and popular music preference in 60 countries (Study 5, N = 3000 songs), and self-reported music preference and danceability in 13 countries (Study 6, N = 1331 participants). Across these studies, danceability was robustly associated with anger, and this relationship suggests danceability feature preferences may be representative of cultural affordances for anger experiences and expressions. We argue that this collective preference is due to high danceability music having a cathartic effect on the downregulation of everyday high-arousal negative emotions, which differs across cultures.

This paper investigates the role of unusualness ratings in predicting music preference. In addition, the variables complexity and familiarity were rated for five music stimuli covering a range of styles. Ninety-four participants were exposed to each stimulus ten times over a three-week period. The three variables were tested as predictors of preference using linear and quadratic curve-fitting procedures. A linear increasing relationship was observed for familiarity, and inverted-U relationships were observed for unusualness and complexity. These results are consistent with Berlyne’s inverted-U model, or a segment of the inverted-U in the case of familiarity. Unusualness was a good indicator of music preference, and explained more variance than complexity or familiarity. Furthermore, the two stimuli that scored highest in unusualness produced consistently low ratings of preference independent of exposure, which appears to be a hallmark of “extreme” music stimuli.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.
