Can emotional music and faces influence our worldview? A simultaneously combined bimodal paradigm
Individuals’ perceptions of valence ambiguous stimuli can be affected by other emotional stimuli introduced through their modalities. However, there is evidence that modalities influence each other and as a result the effect of the emotional stimuli received by one modality may dominate. Affective p...

| description | Individuals’ perceptions of valence ambiguous stimuli can be affected by other emotional stimuli introduced through their modalities. However, there is evidence that modalities influence each other and as a result the effect of the emotional stimuli received by one modality may dominate. Affective priming and mood induction procedures are two widely used paradigms that investigate the effect of emotional stimuli on the individuals. This study combines them into a cross-modal paradigm in which emotional faces are utilised as primes and emotional music as a mood induction cue. A convenience gender balanced sample of 54 individuals (M=28.98years, SD=11.10years) evaluated a set of
valence ambiguous images derived from the GAPED database, once preceded by a happy and once by a sad face, derived from the FACES database. During the experiment, participants were also exposed to either the happy song “Barber
- Adagio for Strings”, or to the sad one “Mozart - Flute Concerto in D Major”. Indeed, a modality dominance effect was established in this study, as merely the main effect of emotional faces was significant F(1,52) = 18.841, p |
