Music-evoked nostalgia: Affect, behavior, and memory

EARS research group is pleased to present the Music-Evoked Nostalgia research that we have put great efforts in the past three years. Initiated by Prof. Paulo C. Chagas and led by Dr. Eun Cho, this experimental research project aimed to explore music-evoked nostalgia in three different aspects: affective responses, prosocial behavior, and autobiographical memories. Beginning in January 2020, 140 UCR undergraduate students voluntarily took part in a one-on-one music listening experiment, and data collection has been completed in February 2021. Data analysis has been done in collaboration with EARS student researchers. We will share all the interesting findings that we have found from the study and would love to hear feedback from the UCR music community.
