“…In one study designed to look at ways to circumvent the verbal barriers to expressing emotion that many patients with major depressive disorder have (Bodner et al, 2007), it was found that depressed subjects showed a heightened response to the sad excerpts, while the control group showed the opposite response. The sad excerpts were all classical in style and are described as being "characterized by a slow pulse and gentle rhythms, with no sustained tension, slow manner and low rates of intensity" (Osuch et al, 2009, p. 145).…”

“…Second, in addition to the examination of the effect of national songs on people suffering from different levels of PTSD symptoms, it is important to continue and examine the effect of such songs and music in general on people with other clinical vulnerabilities, such as anxiety and depression. In this regard, it was found that patients suffering from major depressive disorders tend to demonstrate more reactivity to sad musical stimuli, as compared with healthy controls (Bodner et al, 2007;Punkanen, 2011;Punkanen, Eerola, & Erkkila, 2011). However, to the best of our knowledge, the effect of sad and happy national songs on depressive patients has not been examined yet.…”

In spite of previous evidence regarding the function of national songs as a contextual stimulus, their effect on the emotional state of older adults living with different levels of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms has not be been examined. Following the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict, we examined the emotional effects of listening to happy national songs (songs of Independence Day) and sad national songs (Memorial Day songs) on young (N = 144, mean age = 29.4) and older adults (N = 132, mean age = 68.5). Respondents were exposed to happy or sad national songs, and completed measures of exposure to missile attacks, related PTSD symptoms, and positive and negative emotions. Sad national songs were related to higher negative affect among young adults who were lower on PTSD symptoms, but not among their older counterparts. In contrast, sad national songs were related to higher negative affect among older adults who were higher on PTSD symptoms, but not among their young counterparts. These findings support the strength and vulnerability model, as they demonstrate that relative to young adults, older adults are generally more capable to withstand negative stimuli, yet are more sensitive to negative stimuli when they suffer from chronic vulnerability, as in the case of higher level of PTSD symptoms.

“…Emotions: Music is known to evoke very strong emotions. 4 is is a mutual relationship, though, since also the emotions of users a ect musical preferences [18,78,144]. Due to this strong relationship between music and emotions, the problem of automatically describing music in terms of emotion words is an active research area, commonly refereed to as music emotion recognition (MER), e.g.…”

Music recommender systems (MRS) have experienced a boom in recent years, thanks to the emergence and success of online streaming services, which nowadays make available almost all music in the world at the user's ngertip. While today's MRS considerably help users to nd interesting music in these huge catalogs, MRS research is still facing substantial challenges. In particular when it comes to build, incorporate, and evaluate recommendation strategies that integrate information beyond simple user-item interactions or content-based descriptors, but dig deep into the very essence of listener needs, preferences, and intentions, MRS research becomes a big endeavor and related publications quite sparse. e purpose of this trends and survey article is twofold. We rst identify and shed light on what we believe are the most pressing challenges MRS research is facing, from both academic and industry perspectives. We review the state of the art towards solving these challenges and discuss its limitations. Second, we detail possible future directions and visions we contemplate for the further evolution of the eld. e article should therefore serve two purposes: giving the interested reader an overview of current challenges in MRS research and providing guidance for young researchers by identifying interesting, yet under-researched, directions in the eld.
