• Music May Reduce Loneliness and Act as Social Surrogate for a Friend: Evidence from an Experimental Listening Study (2020, background): “However, the continuous use of music for distraction from negative moods may be an indicator of avoidant coping (Garrido & Schubert, 2011b; Miranda & Claes, 2009) or may even indicate psychological problems (Hutchinson et al., 2006; Salters-Pedneault et al., 2004).”
• Extramusical information contributes to emotions induced by music (2015, result): “Trait empathy was included in the analysis because previous studies have found a positive connection between the level of trait empathy and liking for sad music (e.g., Garrido & Schubert, 2011; Vuoskoski et al., 2012).”
• Listening to sad music in adverse situations: How music selection strategies relate to self-regulatory goals, listening effects, and mood enhancement (2015, background): “Aim 3: Understanding mood enhancement Several studies reported that listening to sad music can induce positive moods (Garrido & Schubert, 2010, 2011a, 2011b; Kallinen & Ravaja, 2006; Schubert, 2007; Vuoskoski et al., 2012).”
• Current Emotion Research in Music Psychology (2015, background): “…(Ladinig & Schellenberg, 2012; Vuoskoski, Thompson, McIlwain, & Eerola, 2012) are particularly likely to enjoy sad sounding music, as are introverts (Ladinig & Schellenberg, 2012), and people who score high on a measure of “absorption” (Garrido & Schubert, 2011, 2013a; Kreutz et al., 2008).”
• Experimental evidence of the roles of music choice, social context, and listener personality in emotional reactions to music (2013, background): “Previous studies have explored the roles of such traits as sensation seeking, locus of control, empathy, and absorption (Garrido & Schubert, 2011; Grewe, Nagel, Kopiez, & Altenmüller, 2007; Kreutz, Ott, Teichmann, Osawa, & Vaitl, 2007; Rawlings & Leow, 2008).”
• Adaptive and maladaptive attraction to negative emotions in music (2013, background): “This is in agreement with our previous findings (Garrido & Schubert, 2011a) and supports Schubert’s argument (1996) that some listeners are able to dissociate or de-activate displeasure in aesthetic contexts so as to enjoy the emotional arousal of the music.”
