“…Despite evidence that induced sadness can cause benefits (Finn & Roediger, 2011;King & Janiszewski, 2011;van Knippenberg et al, 2010; see also Jaffe, 2012 for a review), the current study did not support these findings nor did it transfer these findings to music.

“…Emotion induction for these studies varied. They used the Velten method (King & Janiszewski, 2011), emotionally provocative pictures (Finn & Roediger, 2011), and emotional imagination (van Knippenberg et al, 2010), which are more personalized approaches to emotion induction than the procedure used in this study, because the person is forced to read sentences in the first person in the Velten Method and to imagine a situation that makes them sad in the emotional imagination method. Perhaps the participants did not place themselves in the music as they would in these other methods,…”

This thesis tested some of Levinson's (1997) ideas on why people like music that makes them sad. A path model of this effect was interpreted from Levinson's theory, and 5 of the paths were tested. These paths were that music would directly create a communion with the song, that happiness and sadness would mediate this effect, that absorption would moderate the direct path, that absorption would moderate the songs' ability to evoke the emotions, and that satisfaction would moderate the emotions' influence on liking the songs. A pilot study was conducted to determine if the songs evoked their intended emotions. The pilot study included 6 songs: two fast, major songs to induce happiness; two repetitive songs intended to be neutral; and two slow, minor songs to evoke sadness. One song for each condition was retained for the primary study. All participants listened to all three songs in a counterbalanced order and completed a measure of absorption in a counterbalanced order. The music did not directly cause a change in communication scores, but happiness mediated it. Sadness did not. Absorption did not moderate the direct path, either. It also did not moderate the songs' ability to evoke emotions. Satisfaction did not ! ! ! "! ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the overwhelming, encouraging support from my committee, Drs. Jef Kahn, Andrea Crimmins, and Scott Jordan. Their guidance, support, and commitment to this project have been incredible. Humbly and gratefully, I thank them for their efforts in helping me complete this project.

“…In addition, creative ads trigger "positive emotions that transfer to intentions … even when consumer involvement is low" (Yang & Smith, 2009, p. 945). Further, when consumers are in a positive affective state, research indicates they attend more to visual information as well as the benefits of a product (King & Janiszewski, 2011). Producers of healthy food products should use these creative techniques to attract attention, transfer positive feelings to a product, and enhance the effectiveness of their advertising through visual appeal.…”

“…Touch: the mother of the senses This review identifies a parallel between disgust theory, and consumer research on perception of naturalness: touch's ability to communicate and evoke response. Despite this, there is an occularcentric disregard for touch, the mother of the senses, in consumer perception research and architectural design (Williams, 1980, p. 5;Pham et al, 2001;King & Janiszewski, 2011;Pallasmaa, 2012;Gaines et al, 2016). Consumer perception research tends to focus more on "high order" experiences of branding, and marketing, as opposed to "lower order" multi-sensory experiences (Pham et al, 2001;King & Janiszewski, 2011;Spence & Gallace, 2011).…”

A Mycelium Connection: A study of the influence of mycelium bio-composites’ senso-aesthetics on disgust, and other barriers to uptake in architecture

Mycelium bio-composites’ temporality, and material-meaning, provide architecture a novel solution for both resource and well-being crises. New materialist, growing design practices offer an opportunity to realise mycelium bio-composites’ full holistic potential by acknowledging the evocation of meaning by materials’ senso-aesthetics and their ability to generate positive perceptions and favour. This research employs a growing design framework in its endeavour to understand the role of perception, disgust, and other barriers to the uptake of mycelium bio-composites in architecture. Adaptive digital and analogue design methods were utilised to engage this biological organism’s agency and the uncertainties that co-creating with it entails. A tinkering process helped to understand the behaviours and ideal growth conditions of mycelium and produced a materials library of mycelium bio-composites; its reception defined the trajectory of this thesis. Disgust was identified as a potential barrier to mycelium bio-composites in an industry tethered to industrial standardisation and an expectation for permanence. Existing mycelium bio-composite, and innovation diffusion, research is limited by their collective cognitive focus on production and technical performance. This research acknowledges the influence of emotions on decision-making, through its investigation into how multi-sensory, meaningful materials experiences affect consumer perceptions and decision-making. It conducts a material experience study using survey and video observation methods to understand early adopters’ subjective experiences of mycelium bio-composites. The study confirmed disgust and mycelium bio-composites’ temporality as potential barriers to industry uptake. The key finding, however, was the reported influence of touching mycelium bio-composites on decision-making, as well as its psychophysiological benefits: to calm; and to stimulate. An opportunity to present these results to industry representatives at the NZIA Design Awards was hindered by covid restrictions that necessitated a virtual presentation. The inability to share the physicality of the material, and its emotive influence, confirmed the limitations of a fundamentally occularcentric industry, whose material representation is predominantly audio-visual and focused on mechanical functions. To optimise the holistic benefits of this material, further research is required to confirm and quantify this information for high-level architectural adoption. More broadly, however, it invites the architectural industry to adopt a new materialist paradigm that values and engages materials’ agency and multi-sensory, psychophysiological impacts.
