Abstract Details

2016, PHD, Kent State University, College of Communication and Information / School of Communication Studies.
This study investigated the use of iPods or similar digital portable music players under tenants of mood-management theory. Participants filled out measures and listened to any song on their personal music players. When examining variables individually, the type of music participants selected was related to their mood, anticipation of future activities, and motives. When investigating a model of song selection, mood, gender, anticipation of future activities, and motives all predicted the type of song participants selected. These findings confirm and contradict portions of mood-management theory and the mood adjustment approach.
