We would like to invite you to participate in this experiment and we hope you will have some fun enjoying music of another culture. In the listening test, you will be asked to listening to 30 second sound excepts and locate your perceived emotion on a two dimensional plane corresponding to a psychological model of mood. Please also choose (or type) a single mood word expressed by the music. The 120 samples used in the experiment are Chinese Opera arias with and without background accompaniment. Please listen to as many tracks as you feel convenient. It will take about 50 minutes to complete the entire test. The link to the test can be found below.
