The relation of humor structure appreciation with sensation seeking and judgments of complex-abstract art and sophisticated music

Abstract

The aim of the present study is twofold. Firstly, the relation between sensation seeking and humor structure appreciation has been investigated (Carretero-Dios & Ruch, 2010), and also the association between humor structure appreciation and complex-abstract art has been reported (Ruch & Hehl, 1998). In that sense, this study aims to replicate previously reported findings. Second, the association between humor structure appreciation and sophisticated music (Rentfrow, Goldberg, & Levitin, 2011) was explored. Results obtained from 77 participants partially supported the predictions. Sensation seeking was negatively related with the aversiveness ratings of Nonsense humor, while pleasantness of complex-abstract art was negatively associated with funniness of Incongruity-Resolution humor and positively with the structure preference index. Aversiveness of Incongruity-Resolution humor correlated negatively with sophisticated music ratings. Finally, ratings on the abstract-art paintings and sophisticated musical excerpts were positively associated. Implications of the findings, limitations of this study and avenues for further research are examined.

Exploring the role of traditional music elements in music art appreciation based on the hierarchical analysis method

“…Literature [15] in a study of patients with clinical developmental prosopagnosia found that cases of anterior temporal lesions in patients with prosopagnosia had poorer perception of music. Literature [16] unfolded artistic practices through a sampling method and learned that sensation-seeking and meaningless funny in art Exploring the role of traditional music elements in music art appreciation based on the hierarchical analysis method 3 showed a negative correlation. Literature [17] reported in a study on the fit between the types of music and paintings that classical music and abstract art had a higher fit, women showed the higher artistic perception of abstract art, and people's perception of music was, to some extent related to their perception of paintings.…”

A study on the analysis and understanding of art works based on graph neural networks

“…Exploring the artist's creative intention is an important part of our appreciation and understanding of artworks, and no artist's creation is random but expresses some kind of creative intention of the artist [7][8]. This creative intention may be directed at reality or art, but no matter what it is directed at, it is inextricably linked to the social environment and cultural context in which the artist lives [9][10].…”
