The present field study therefore investigated whether sound pressure level, reverberation time, and soundscape pleasantness can predict factors associated with overall restaurant quality. In total, 142 persons visiting 12 restaurants in Berlin rated relevant acoustical and non-acoustical factors associated with restaurant quality. Simultaneously, the A-weighted sound pressure level (LA,eq,15) was measured, and the reverberation time in the occupied state (T20,occ) was obtained by measurements performed in the unoccupied room and a subsequent calculation of the occupied condition according to DIN 18041. Results from linear mixed-effects models revealed that both the LA,eq,15 and T20,occ had a significant influence on soundscape pleasantness and eventfulness, whereby the effect of T20,occ was meditated by the LA,eq,15. Also, the LA,eq,15 as well as soundscape pleasantness were significant predictors of overall restaurant quality. A comprehensive structural equation model including both acoustical and non-acoustical factors, however, indicates that the effect of soundscape pleasantness on overall restaurant quality is mediated by the restaurant's atmosphere. Our results support and extend previous findings which suggest that the acoustical design of restaurants involves a trade-off between comfort and liveliness, depending on the desired character of the place.}, language = {en} } @article{SteffensSchulteFortkampBeckerSchweitzer2012, author = {Steffens, Jochen and Schulte-Fortkamp, Brigitte and Becker-Schweitzer, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Human-machine interaction as influencing factor of indoor soundscape evaluation}, series = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, volume = {131}, journal = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, number = {4}, publisher = {AIP}, doi = {10.1121/1.4708899}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @article{SteffensSchulteFortkampBeckerSchweitzer2012, author = {Steffens, Jochen and Schulte-Fortkamp, Brigitte and Becker-Schweitzer, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Ger{\"a}uschbewertung von Haushaltsger{\"a}ten im Labor und in der Realit{\"a}t [Sound evaluations of household appliances in laboratory and in real environments]}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, volume = {7}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, pages = {64 -- 68}, year = {2012}, language = {de} } @article{SteffensSkodaBeckerSchweitzeretal.2014, author = {Steffens, Jochen and Skoda, Sabrina and Becker-Schweitzer, J{\"o}rg and Heinze, Michael}, title = {K{\"o}nnen Wasserger{\"a}usche zur Minderung der L{\"a}stigkeit von Straßenverkehrsl{\"a}rm im Wohnumfeld [Can water sounds contribute to a reduced annoyance caused by road traffic noise in living environments?] beitragen?}, series = {L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, volume = {9}, journal = {L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, number = {4}, publisher = {Springer-VDI}, pages = {172 -- 178}, year = {2014}, language = {de} } @article{SteffensSteeleGuastavino2015, author = {Steffens, Jochen and Steele, Daniel and Guastavino, Catherine}, title = {Measuring Momentary and Retrospective Soundscape Evaluations in Everyday Life by Means of the Experience Sampling Method}, series = {The Brunswik Society Newsletter}, volume = {30}, journal = {The Brunswik Society Newsletter}, publisher = {The Brunswik society}, pages = {45 -- 48}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{SteffensSteeleGuastavino2017, author = {Steffens, Jochen and Steele, Daniel and Guastavino, Catherine}, title = {Situational and person-related factors influencing momentary and retrospective soundscape evaluations in day-to-day life}, series = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, volume = {141}, journal = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, number = {3}, publisher = {AIP}, doi = {10.1121/1.4976627}, pages = {1414 -- 1425}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{VersuemerSteffensBlaettermannetal.2020, author = {Vers{\"u}mer, Siegbert and Steffens, Jochen and Bl{\"a}ttermann, Patrick and Becker-Schweitzer, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Modelling evaluations of low-level sounds in everyday situations using linear machine learning for variable selection}, series = {Frontiers in Psychology}, volume = {11}, journal = {Frontiers in Psychology}, publisher = {Frontiers}, issn = {1664-1078}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2020.570761}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-23779}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{WagnerHallmannSteffensetal.2013, author = {Wagner, Stefan and Hallmann, Dijana and Steffens, Jochen and Becker-Schweitzer, J{\"o}rg and Kameier, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Ger{\"a}uscharme Reifen - H{\"a}ndlerempfehlungen in der Praxis}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, volume = {8}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer}, pages = {118 -- 121}, year = {2013}, language = {de} } @article{ElversFischingerSteffens2018, author = {Elvers, Paul and Fischinger, Timo and Steffens, Jochen}, title = {Music listening as self-enhancement}, series = {Psychology of Music}, volume = {10}, journal = {Psychology of Music}, number = {2}, publisher = {Sage}, doi = {10.1177/0305735617707354}, pages = {1 -- 19}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{ElversSteffens2017, author = {Elvers, Paul and Steffens, Jochen}, title = {The Sound of Success: Investigating Cognitive and Behavioral Effects of Motivational Music in Sports}, series = {Frontiers in psychology}, volume = {8}, journal = {Frontiers in psychology}, publisher = {Frontiers}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2017.02026}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Listening to music before, during, or after sports is a common phenomenon, yet its functions and effects on performance, cognition, and behavior remain to be investigated. Listening to music before, during, or after sports is a common phenomenon, yet its functions and effects on performance, cognition, and behavior remain to be investigated. In this study we present a novel approach to the role of music in sports and exercise that focuses on the notion of musical self-enhancement (Elvers, 2016). We derived the following hypotheses from this framework: listening to motivational music will (i) enhance self-evaluative cognition, (ii) improve performance in a ball game, and (iii) evoke greater risk-taking behavior. To evaluate the hypotheses, we conducted a between-groups experiment (N = 150) testing the effectiveness of both an experimenter playlist and a participant-selected playlist in comparison to a no-music control condition. All participants performed a ball-throwing task developed by Decharms and Dav{\´e} (1965), consisting of two parts: First, participants threw the ball from fixed distances into a funnel basket. During this task, performance was measured. In the second part, the participants themselves chose distances from the basket, which allowed their risk-taking behavior to be assessed. The results indicate that listening to motivational music led to greater risk taking but did not improve ball-throwing performance. This effect was more pronounced in male participants and among those who listened to their own playlists. Furthermore, self-selected music enhanced state self-esteem in participants who were performing well but not in those who were performing poorly. We also discuss further implications for the notion of musical self-enhancement. // Listening to music before, during, or after sports is a common phenomenon, yet its functions and effects on performance, cognition, and behavior remain to be investigated.

Until now, little has been written about the processes underlying the selection of music in daily life. The present study aimed to disentangle some of the complex processes among the listener, situation, and functions of music listening involved in music selection. Utilizing the experience sampling method, data were collected from 119 participants using a smartphone application. For 10 consecutive days, participants received 14 prompts using stratified-random sampling throughout the day and reported on their music-listening behavior. Statistical learning procedures on multilevel regression models and multilevel structural equation modeling were used to determine the most important predictors and analyze mediation processes between person, situation, functions of listening, and music selection. Results revealed that the features of music selected in daily life were predominantly determined by situational characteristics, whereas consistent individual differences were of minor importance. Functions of music listening were found to act as a mediator between characteristics of the situation and music-selection behavior. We further observed several significant random effects, which indicated that individuals differed in how situational variables affected their music selection behavior. Our findings suggest a need to shift the focus of music-listening research from individual differences to situational influences, including potential person-situation interactions.}, language = {en} } @article{KueppersBiermannSteffens2011, author = {K{\"u}ppers, Thomas and Biermann, Jan-Welm and Steffens, Jochen}, title = {Structurized sound design process of electric vehicle interior sound}, series = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, volume = {130}, journal = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, number = {4}, publisher = {AIP Publishing}, doi = {10.1121/1.3655178}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{LepaHerzogSteffensetal.2020, author = {Lepa, Steffen and Herzog, Martin and Steffens, Jochen and Schoenrock, Andreas and Egermann, Hauke}, title = {A computational model for predicting perceived musical expression in branding scenarios}, series = {Journal of New Music Research}, volume = {49}, journal = {Journal of New Music Research}, number = {4}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, doi = {10.1080/09298215.2020.1778041}, pages = {387 -- 402}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{LepaSteffensHerzogetal.2020, author = {Lepa, Steffen and Steffens, Jochen and Herzog, Martin and Egermann, Hauke}, title = {Popular Music as Entertainment Communication: How Perceived Semantic Expression Explains Liking of Previously Unknown Music}, series = {Media and Communication}, volume = {8}, journal = {Media and Communication}, number = {3}, publisher = {Cogitatio}, doi = {10.17645/mac.v8i3.3153}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-23602}, pages = {191 -- 204}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{LuizardSteffensWeinzierl2020, author = {Luizard, Paul and Steffens, Jochen and Weinzierl, Stefan}, title = {Singing in different rooms: Common or individual adaptation patterns to the acoustic conditions?}, series = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, volume = {147}, journal = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, number = {2}, publisher = {ASA}, doi = {10.1121/10.0000715}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{RosenfeldSteffens2019, author = {Rosenfeld, Ninett and Steffens, Jochen}, title = {Effects of congruency of combined audiovisual stimuli in movie scenes on perceived emotions in the context of film reception}, series = {Psychomusicology: Music, Mind \& Brain}, volume = {29}, journal = {Psychomusicology: Music, Mind \& Brain}, number = {4}, publisher = {APA}, doi = {10.1037/pmu0000242}, pages = {200 -- 208}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{SkodaSteffensBeckerSchweitzer2012, author = {Skoda, Sabrina and Steffens, Jochen and Becker-Schweitzer, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Einfluss von Beschleunigungskr{\"a}ften auf die Ger{\"a}uschbewertung im Fahrzeuginnenraum}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, volume = {7}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer}, pages = {24 -- 28}, year = {2012}, language = {de} } @article{SkodaSteffensKueppers2011, author = {Skoda, Sabrina and Steffens, Jochen and K{\"u}ppers, Thomas}, title = {Auditory-proprioceptive interaction - How do acceleration forces influence the evaluation of driving sounds?}, series = {Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, volume = {130}, journal = {Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, number = {4}, publisher = {AIP}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{Steffens2012, author = {Steffens, Jochen}, title = {Urteilsbildung bei der subjektiven Bewertung des Innenger{\"a}usches von Elektrofahrzeugen}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, volume = {7}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer}, pages = {133 -- 135}, year = {2012}, language = {de} } @article{Steffens2016, author = {Steffens, Jochen}, title = {Neue Einblicke in die Bewertung von Soundscapes mithilfe der Experience Sampling Methode [New Insights into Soundscape Evaluations Using the Experience Sampling Method]}, series = {L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, volume = {11}, journal = {L{\"a}rmbek{\"a}mpfung}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer-VDI}, pages = {20 -- 22}, year = {2016}, language = {de} }
