| Summary: | This study aims to present the relations between music characterized with violent lyrics and violent behavior. A sample of 49 INTROPSY students in the University will be used as samples. This experiment used a 2 (song type) x 2 (subjects) factorial design. All songs were of the same genre and about the same length. Subjects were grouped accordingly either on the violent-acoustic/non-acoustic (experimental) group or the non-violent--acoustic/non-acoustic (control) group. Subjects first completed a Mood Survey, followed by the State Hostility Scale. They then listened to the assigned song (depending on the group), then complete Word Pair Similarity Task and a modified State Hostility Scale. Data analysis was done by ANCOVA followed up by a Duncan's test. ANCOVA yielded no significant effect in terms of the 3rd group (non-violent/non-acoustic) compared to the 2 other violent groups (acoustic/non-acoustic). But in contrast, the 4th group (non-violent/acoustic) and 2nd group (violent/acoustic) showed higher hostility scores as predicted. |
