Fragments of classical music were submitted to 80 subjects, 40 children 9 to 10 years old and 40 adults 19 to 29 years old who were divided into eight groups of ten, to induce feelings of happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. The task required linking each piece of music to one emotion, identifying at the same time the intensity of the emotional response on a scale of 1 to 3. The goal was to study how gender, age, and exposure or expertise related to emotional perceptions of music. Analysis showed (a) experts in music and nonexperts ascribed similar emotions to pieces of music, (b) there was no difference in emotional response to music by gender, although women linked to music stronger emotions of anger than girls, (c) children perceived greater feeling of happiness in music and less feeling of anger than adults, and (d) emotions of anger and fear in music were often confused with one another.
古典音乐片段被呈现给80名受试者，其中40名是9至10岁的儿童，40名是19至29岁的成年人，他们被分成八组，每组十人，以引发幸福、悲伤、愤怒和恐惧的情绪。任务要求将每段音乐与一种情绪联系起来，同时在1到3的量表上确定情绪反应的强度。目的是研究性别、年龄以及与音乐情感认知相关的接触程度或专业知识是如何影响的。分析表明：（a）音乐专家和非专家对音乐片段赋予了相似的情绪；（b）尽管女性比女孩更容易将愤怒情绪与音乐联系起来，但在对音乐的情绪反应上，性别之间没有差异；（c）儿童在音乐中感受到的幸福感比成年人更强，而愤怒感比成年人更少；（d）音乐中的愤怒和恐惧情绪常常相互混淆。
