“…Research focusing on ideal-point judgments has been underrepresented in this literature. Indeed most of the studies exploring ideal-point judgments outside of traditional attitude research have centered on less socially relevant stimuli (Holbrook & Anand, 1990;Riskey, Parducci, & Beauchamp, 1979), with only a few studies relating to social groups or socially relevant judgments (Pettibone, 2000;Pettibone & Wedell, in press;Wedell & Pettibone, 1999;Wedell, Santoyo, & Pettibone, 2005). The current studies continue this latter line of research.…”

“…The effects of contextual clips were assessed with these target clips. Prior research has shown that tempo judgments follow an ordinal relationship with tempo but that pleasantness judgments follow a single peaked relationship, with an intermediate tempo being rated most pleasant (Holbrook & Anand, 1990;Quin & Watt, 2006). Accordingly, we predicted that participants would show contrast effects on tempo judgments, with target tempos being judged faster in the slow tempo context than in the fast tempo context.…”

“…Finally, if pleasantness shifts are related to more general shifts in levels of arousal induced by fast or slow context tempos, then effects might be expected to generalize to all targets. It should be noted that Holbrook and Anand (1990) proposed this type of generalized arousal mechanism and found some support for it in that shifts in preferred tempo reflected changes in arousal state induced by performing different cognitive tasks prior to listening. Because researchers have demonstrated that listening to fast-paced music leads to increases in arousal indicators such as heart rate and performance in stationary cycling and running (Edworthy & Waring, 2006;Waterhouse, Hudson, & Edwards, 2010), the idea of a generalized arousal effect driving ideal point shifts seems plausible.…”

Context effects on tempo and pleasantness judgments for Beatles songs

Context effects on tempo and pleasantness judgments of different tempos were demonstrated in three experiments using Beatles songs. In Experiments 1 and 2, we explored how listening to versions of the same song that were played at different tempos affected tempo and pleasantness ratings. In both experiments, contrast effects were found on judgments of tempo, with target tempos rated faster when context tempos were slow than when they were fast. In both experiments, we also showed that the peak of the pleasantness rating function shifted toward the values of the context tempos, reflecting disordinal context effects on pleasantness relationships. Familiarity with the songs did not moderate these effects, and shifts in tempo ratings did not correlate with shifts in most pleasant target tempos when context was manipulated within subjects. In Experiment 3, we examined how manipulations of context tempos for one song affected judgments of the same song as compared with judgments of other more or less similar songs. For tempo ratings, contrast effects transferred to ratings of a similar song, but for pleasantness ratings, assimilative shifts of ideals were found only for the same song and not for similar songs. This pattern of results was supportive of independent bases for the two context effects.

“…Music styles and tempos deeply influence consumers in increasing sales of the retail outlets. Pleasant music is associated with longer consumption time (Holbrook & Anand, 1990). The variety of the background music significantly impacts on the consumer perceptions and preferences (Bruner, 1990).…”

This paper aimed at identifying the effects of atmosphere on the consumer purchase intention in international retail chain outlets of Karachi, Pakistan. This was the first study, which investigated the collective impact of atmospheric variables at one point in time on purchase intention. This research was causal in nature. A sample of 300 consumers was taken who usually visited these outlets. Data was collected through a well-structured questionnaire and analyzed through regression analysis. Research findings indicate that atmospheric variables such as cleanliness, scent, lighting, and display/layout have a positive influence on consumers' purchase intention; whereas music and color have insignificant impact on consumers' purchase intention. The temperature has almost no impact on the purchase intention of the consumers. This study has important implication for Practitioners and Academicians.
