The Japanese love their landscapes tamed and manicured, more parks than wilderness. 12 They like artfully to prune their pines, cultivate simple flower and rock gardens, arrange a waterfall, attract some geese, walk a path with a geometrically rising curve, look back, and enjoy the moon rising over the temple, silhouetting it all. They are hardly interested in admiring a pristine ecosystem or geological formations. Should we say that the Japanese are enga- ging in some aesthetic deception? Yet who are we to argue they should give up their art and learn our science? The argument is rather that humans are always. | Psychology of Aesthetics Creativity and the Arts 2008 Vol. 2 No. 2 115-129 Copyright 2008 by the American Psychological Association 1931-3896 08 DOI Does Music Induce Emotion A Theoretical and Methodological Analysis Vladimir J. Konecni University of California San Diego Is music ubiquitous in part because it is causally linked to emotion In this article a comprehensive theoretical and methodological reevaluation is presented of a classical problem The direct induction of emotion by music M3 E . The author s Prototypical Emotion-Episode Model PEEM is used in the conceptual critique. A close scrutiny of the major published studies and the author s new data regarding some substantive and methodological issues in several of these reveal weak support for the M3 E model. The conclusion seems justified that music may induce low-grade basic emotions through mediators such as dance and cognitive associations to real-world events. However it is suggested on the basis of the recently developed Aesthetic Trinity Theory ATT Konecni 2005 and its further development in the present article that being moved and aesthetic awe often accompanied by thrills may be the most genuine and profound music-related emotional states.
