“…When people take others' perspectives, they may attempt to imagine the negative emotions others had experienced before feeling relief. Binyamin-Suissa et al, (2021) suggested that individuals who take the sensitive others' perspective rated the strength of the others' negative emotions marginally higher than that of individuals who maintain their own perspective, while there is no difference between taking the sensitive others' perspective and own perspective in rating the strength of others' positive emotions. Individuals who take the others' point of view would tend to focus on the others' negative emotions rather than their positive emotions.…”

This study aimed to develop the Belief of Affective Perspective-Taking Ability Scale (BAPTAS). The belief of affective perspective-taking ability is defined as the tendency of individuals to believe people are generally capable of taking others’ perspectives and imagining others’ emotions, and we developed 17 items for BAPTAS. The participants in the study comprised 151 university students, who answered the BAPTAS, Experience of Receiving Empathy Scale (ERES), perspective-taking tendency, Interpersonal Trust Scale (ITS), and UCLA loneliness scale in Japanese (ULS-J). Thus, 13 items were constructed, and the scores of BAPTAS showed a normal distribution (M = 4.52, SD = 0.97). BAPTAS is positively related to ERES, a perspective-taking tendency and ITS, and it is negatively related to ULS-J. The relations between BAPTAS and other scales correspond to our previous expectations. We discussed both the potential contribution of BAPTAS to perspective-taking and empathy research and the need to examine its validity experimentally. Our hypothesis was supported, and the validity and reliability of BAPTAS was confirmed.

“…C1–C4 were composed of E major, D major, A minor, and C minor, respectively. This study operationally defined happiness/sadness as valence, although valence does not directly refer to happiness/sadness (Binyamin-Suissa et al, 2021 ). I asked a professional composer to arrange the timbre and loudness of each instrument naturally.…”

Specific rhythmic patterns in music have been reported to induce an urge to move with feelings of pleasure or enjoyment, called “groove.” However, it is unclear how the emotional characteristics of music (e.g., happiness or sadness) affect groove. To address this issue I investigated the effects of the emotional characteristics of music on groove by altering the chord progressions accompanying drum breaks composed by a professional composer while manipulating independent tempo and rhythmic patterns. An online listening experiment was conducted using pieces composed by a professional composer but comprising different types of chord progressions that lead to happiness or sadness. Participants evaluated the nine items on a 7-point scale, including urge to move (i.e., groove), felt emotions, nori, and liking. The experiment found that: (1) chord progressions that evoke happiness were more likely to induce groove, (2) emotional characteristics did not interact with tempi and syncopation in terms of groove ratings, and (3) the accompaniment of drum breaks enhanced groove in both happy and sad chord progressions. Musical pieces with chord progressions that induce happiness were more likely to evoke groove, namely the urge to move. This implies that considering the emotional characteristics of musical pieces and rhythms is crucial when creating music for movement during rehabilitation, therapy, or dance.

To address this issue, we investigated the effects of the emotional characteristics of music on groove by altering the chord progressions of a drum break composed by a professional composer while manipulating independent tempo and rhythmic patterns. An online listening experiment was conducted using pieces composed by a professional composer but comprising different types of chord progressions that lead to happiness or sadness. Participants evaluated the items on a 7-point scale, including subjective groove. Items included “urge to move,” among others. The experiment found that: 1) chord progressions that evoke happiness were more likely to induce groove, 2) emotional characteristics did not interact with tempi and syncopation in terms of groove ratings, and 3) the accompaniment of drum breaks enhanced groove in both happy and sad chord progressions. Musical pieces with chord progressions that induce happiness were more likely to evoke groove, namely, the urge to move.
