Emotional and motivational uses of music in sports and exercise: A questionnaire study among athletes (2013, background): “Short definitions of various concepts related to emotion, as discussed in this article, are provided following Scherer (2005). Emotions are generally considered to be brief and fairly intense affective responses to objects or events, and consist of several components including evaluations of the sig”
Cultural Industries: Product–Market Characteristics, Management Challenges and Industry Dynamics (2015, unknown): “Musical preferences have been found to be based on various functions, such as physiological arousal, self-reflection, communication and coming together with like-minded people (Schafer and Sedlmeier 2009; 2010).”
Personal and situational influences on the functions of music listening (2018, methodology): “…the relationships between the functions of music listening and musical tastes or musical preferences has consistently shown strong associations between the strength of music preference and diverse functions of music listening (Schäfer, 2016; Schäfer & Sedlmeier, 2009; Schäfer & Sedlmeier, 2010).”
Exploring a rationale for choosing to listen to sad music when feeling sad (2013, methodology): “…as the effectiveness of music for changing or regulating mood is well documented (see, e.g., Juslin & Västfjäll, 2008; Laukka, 2007; Lonsdale & North, 2011; Saarikallio & Erkkilä, 2007; Schäfer & Sedlmeier, 2009; Schwartz & Fouts, 2003; Sloboda, O’Neill, & Ivaldi, 2001; Van Goethem, 2010).”
Towards a holistic model of functions of music listening across cultures: A culturally decentred qualitative approach (2012, background): “…psychological functions of music listening (Behne, 1997; Lehmann, 1994; North et al., 2000; Tarrant et al., 2000; Sloboda, 2005), and additional published articles list psychological functions of music listening based on previous literature (Hargreaves & North, 1999; Schäfer & Sedlmeier, 2009).”
Moved by music: A typology of music listeners (2011, background): “Recently Schäfer and Sedlmeier (2009) found a connection between high preference for music and using it for different purposes, hence, studying both music’s importance and its relation to the way people use it makes sense.”
