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} } @inproceedings{WilczekSteffensWeinzierl2019, author = {Wilczek, Tobias and Steffens, Jochen and Weinzierl, Stefan}, title = {Room acoustics, soundscapes and customer satisfaction in restaurants - a field study}, series = {Proceedings of the International Symposium on Room Acoustics (ISRA) 2019, Amsterdam, Netherlands.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the International Symposium on Room Acoustics (ISRA) 2019, Amsterdam, Netherlands.}, editor = {Lautenbach, Margriet and Witew, Ingo B. and de Vries, Diemer and Hornikx, Maarten}, publisher = {Nederlands Akoestisch Genootschap}, address = {Heerde}, isbn = {978-90-9032895-9}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-CONV-240148}, pages = {854 -- 857}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SteffensMuellerSchulzetal.2019, author = {Steffens, Jochen and M{\"u}ller, Franz and Schulz, Melanie and Gibson, Samuel}, title = {Cognitive load influences the evaluation of complex acoustical scenarios}, series = {Proceedings of the 23rd International Congress on Acoustics}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 23rd International Congress on Acoustics}, publisher = {Deutsche Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Akustik e.V.}, address = {Aachen}, isbn = {978-3-939296-15-7}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-CONV-239577}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LuizardSteffensWeinzierl2019, author = {Luizard, Paul and Steffens, Jochen and Weinzierl, Stefan}, title = {Adaptation of singers to physical and virtual room acoustics}, series = {Proceedings of the International Symposium on Room Acoustics (ISRA) 2019, Amsterdam, Netherlands.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the International Symposium on Room Acoustics (ISRA) 2019, Amsterdam, Netherlands.}, editor = {Lautenbach, Margriet and Witew, Ingo B. and de Vries, Diemer and Hornikx, Maarten}, publisher = {Nederlands Akoestisch Genootschap}, address = {Heerde}, isbn = {978-90-9032895-9}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-CONV-240115}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JakobsBoeldtSelbachetal.2019, author = {Jakobs, Christoph and B{\"o}ldt, Sebastian and Selbach, Dustin and Steffens, Jochen}, title = {Extreme response style in listening tests}, series = {Proceedings of the 23rd International Congress on Acoustics: integrating 4th EAA Euroregio 2019 : 9-13 September 2019 in Aachen, Germany}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 23rd International Congress on Acoustics: integrating 4th EAA Euroregio 2019 : 9-13 September 2019 in Aachen, Germany}, address = {Aachen}, isbn = {978-3-939296-15-7}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-CONV-239966}, year = {2019}, language = {en} }
