Using music to induce emotions: Influences of musical preference and absorption (2008, background): “Emotional responses to music listening are evidenced in everyday life (Sloboda et al., 2001), e.g. commercial environments (Alpert and Alpert, 1989) and film drama (Smith, 1999).”
Mobile listening situations in everyday life: The use of MP3 players while travelling (2010, background): “Sloboda et al. (2001) also found that reported mood change as a consequence of music listening was more significant when listeners chose the music they listened to.”
Music as a communicative medium (2009, background): “…identity (MacDonald et al., 2002 on music's roles in creating and projecting identities in contemporary western cultures) • instances of personal crisis, (Sloboda et al., 2001, on the use of music for the regulation or self-regulation of affect) • the hazards and uncertainties of the most…”
Media and Emotions (2005, methodology): “Moreover, Sloboda, O’Neill, and Ivaldi (2001) showed that the positive changes of moods increase the more the subjects could freely determine what music they heard.”
The functions of music for affect regulation (2011, background): “It has been shown, however, that most music listening occurs while other tasks are being carried out and seldom happens as a sole activity (e.g., North et al., 2004; Sloboda et al., 2001).”
Emotion perceived and emotion felt: Same and different (2006, background): “And yet, it is the power of music to express and induce emotions that is one of the most significant reasons for musical activities (see e.g., Sloboda et al., 2001).”
From the functions of music to music preference (2009, background): “…evidence that the reasons why we prefer one type of music over another, or even like music at all, can be ascribed to the functions of music (Arnett, 1995; Behne, 1986, 1997; Juslin & Laukka, 2004; Larson, 1995; Lewis, 1992; Saarikallio & Erkkilä, 2007; Schwarz & Fouts, 2003; Sloboda et al., 2001).”
Experimental evidence of the roles of music choice, social context, and listener personality in emotional reactions to music (2013, background): “The impact of music has now been explored in a broad variety of settings, for example while driving (Brodsky, 2001), shopping (Yalch & Spangenberg, 1990), eating (Stroebele & de Castro, 2006), and attending church (Miller & Strongman, 2002), as well as in everyday life in general (Juslin et al., 200”
University students’ strong experiences of music (2011, background): “…adults use music to accompany other activities such as housework, desk work, travelling, and eating (Heye & Lamont, 2010; Sloboda, 1999; Sloboda, O’Neill, & Ivaldi, 2001), and it helps listeners to feel more positive (Juslin, Liljeström, Västfjäll, Barradas, & Silva, 2008; Sloboda et al., 2001).”
Effects of noise and music on human and task performance: A systematic review (2008, background): “Ninety percent (90%) of transportation transits include musical exposure [63].”
