Dear Dan and Auditory list,
I'm Maria Luiza, a PhD student at the University of Salford, UK.
I am conducting an evaluation study on how people perceive Urban Soundscapes and how these urban sounds affect their emotional states through online
questionnaires.
The experiment consists of the participant watching six 30-second video samples (360 degrees videos and spatial audio) from different places in
Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. It starts with a basic consent form, some demographic questions, and specifications of the digital system to be used. Then, each video followed by questions regarding the predominant sound source, four soundscape perceptual
dimension types (Calm, Exciting, Chaotic, and Monotonous), and three emotional scales (SAM - Self Assessment Manikins - Valence, Arousal, and Dominance) are presented. The whole experiment should take around 10 to 20 min.
The questionnaire is anonymous and will be available online as soon as you send your email to manchester.soundscape.experiment@xxxxxxxxx
Looking forward to your response, I thank you very much in advance.
By the way, the experimentation can also be done via smartphones!
Here is the short video with the research introduction.
