Authors: Sky CH-Wang, Evan Li, Oliver Li, Smaranda Muresan, Zhou Yu
Abstract summary: We develop methods to measure affective responses to music from over 403M listener comments on a Chinese social music platform. We test for musical, lyrical, contextual, demographic, and mental health effects that drive listener affective responses.

Abstract: Affective responses to music are highly personal. Despite consensus that idiosyncratic factors play a key role in regulating how listeners emotionally respond to music, precisely measuring the marginal effects of these variables has proved challenging. To address this gap, we develop computational methods to measure affective responses to music from over 403M listener comments on a Chinese social music platform. Building on studies from music psychology in systematic and quasi-causal analyses, we test for musical, lyrical, contextual, demographic, and mental health effects that drive listener affective responses. Finally, motivated by the social phenomenon known as w\v{a}ng-y\`i-y\'un, we identify influencing factors of platform user self-disclosures, the social support they receive, and notable differences in discloser user activity.

We compare lyrical simplicity trends for users grouped as being at risk (At-Risk) of depression from those that are not (No-Risk) Our findings reveal that At-Risk individuals prefer songs with greater information content (lower Compressibility) on average, especially for songs characterised as Sad. At-Risk individuals also have greater variability of Absolute Information Content across their listening history.

Musical Prosody-Driven Emotion Classification: Interpreting Vocalists Portrayal of Emotions Through Machine Learning [0.0]
The role of musical prosody remains under-explored despite several studies demonstrating a strong connection between prosody and emotion. In this study, we restrict the input of traditional machine learning algorithms to the features of musical prosody. We utilize a methodology for individual data collection from vocalists, and personal ground truth labeling by the artist themselves.
