Emoções de uma Escuta Musical Afetam a Percepção Subjetiva de Tempo

Abstract

This study examined whether perceived emotions during music listening tasks influence time perception. Musicians and non-musicians were submitted to tasks of listening to musical excerpts from Western clas- sical repertoire of 20 seconds and tasks of temporal association of each piece of music to standard dura- tions, ranging from 16 to 24 seconds. Musical excerpts were representative from one of the following emotional categories: Happiness, Sadness, Threat and Peacefulness. An analysis of variance showed that, while non-musicians showed temporal underestimations associated with, at least, one piece of music from each emotional category, musicians underestimated all sad musical excerpts, related to low arousal and negative valence features.
