Official title

An Investigation of the Intersection of Affect and Meaning in Music-Based Pain Modulation

Overview

The overall goal of this project is to examine the impact of music's meaning on pain. Relationships between trait affect, meaning in life, and subjective qualities of meaningful music will be assessed. We will also conduct interviews with a subset of participants to determine which aspects of music are most meaningful and how this meaning increases or decreases pain sensations.

Interventions

  • Other Music intervention
    Participants will be asked to select different music clips based on meaning, enjoyment and preference.

Primary outcome measures

  • Pain Unpleasantness [Time frame: Baseline/Pre-intervention and During the Intervention]
  • Pain Intensity [Time frame: Baseline/Pre-intervention and During the Intervention]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
  • The Multidimensional Meaning in Life Scale [Time frame: Baseline/Pre-intervention]
  • The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule-X (PANAS-X) [Time frame: Baseline/Pre-Intervention]
  • The Hedonic and Eudaimonic Motives for Activities Scale [Time frame: Baseline/Pre-intervention]
  • The Geneva Emotional Music Scale [Time frame: During the Intervention]
  • Optional Micro-Phenomenological Interview [Time frame: Immediately After the Intervention]
