Overall, responsiveness proved to be related to the degree of involvement in musical practice. However, professional musicians displayed distinct profiles depending on their main occupational activity: Whereas music teachers and orchestra musicians showed a specific sensitivity to artistic beauty, soloists evidenced an overall high sensitivity to all types of beauty and goodness. Furthermore, results showed that the responsiveness dimensions correlated in a theoretically meaningful manner with dispositional awe, absorption, and experience seeking.Keywords: appreciation of beauty and excellence, engagement with beauty, responsiveness to the good and beautiful, personality of musicians During the last decade, two models of the sensitivity to beauty and goodness were proposed within the context of positive psychology; the appreciation of beauty and excellence model (Haidt & Keltner, 2004), and the engagement with beauty model (Diessner et al., 2008). Both models assume the sensitivity to beauty in the physical world to be linked with the sensitivity to goodness or excellence in the social world, and hypothesize a second-order factor of general sensitivity to beauty and goodness. To examine whether one or both of these models could be empirically confirmed, Güsewell and Ruch (2012a) conducted a structural equation modeling analysis in which they not only included the two already existing self-report instruments-namely, the Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence (ABE) scale of the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS;Peterson et al., 2005), and the Engagement with Beauty Scale (EBS; Diessner et al., 2008)-but also a newly developed, stimulus-based instrument, the Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence Test (ABET; Güsewell & Ruch, 2012a). The resulting model, which integrated the two existing ones, was labeled responsiveness to the good and beautiful. It was comprised of a second-order factor of general sensitivity to beauty and goodness, and three distinct, but related, dimensions; respon-
