TITLE:
Who enjoys listening to sad music and why?

ABSCTRACT:
Why do people sometimes enjoy listening to music that makes them sad? The paradox of “pleasurable sadness” has attracted significant research interest in recent years, but important pieces of the puzzle are still missing. Crucially, not everyone enjoys listening to sad music, and the individual differences between those who enjoy sad music and those don’t can be the key to solving the puzzle. I will present empirical evidence from my recent work involving self-report, psychophysiological and hormonal measures, and discuss the theoretical implications of these findings.
