The findings are evidence in favour of the ’embodied-cognition’ theory – the idea that the mind is connected to the body, and the body influences the mind.
New scientific research suggests that attending a classical concert is more of a shared experience than one might realise.
Individuals who rated more highly for personality traits such as openness were more likely to synchronise, while those with neurotic dispositions were less likely to align, the researchers said. To investigate, Tschacher and colleagues observed 132 audience members across three classical concerts. All three played the same string quintet pieces: LBeethoven’s “Op. 104 in C minor”, Johannes Brahms’ “Op. 111 in G major”, and “Epitaphs” by contemporary composer Brett Dean.
Skin conductance is closely related to the body’s flight-or-fight response. When it’s high, it indicates a state of arousal and can be linked to goosebumps on the skin; when it’s low, we are in a state of relaxation. As one might expect, people whose personality types indicated “openness to new experiences” and “agreeableness” were more disposed towards synchronising with others.
