Interactionality of State-Trait Music Preference, Individual Variability, and Music Characteristics as a Multi-Axis Paradigm for Context-Specific Pain Perception and Management
The purposes of this study were 1) to delineate any differences in general musical taste
(trait) and context-specific music preference (state), as well as preferred music
characteristics in cancer patients, 2) to investigate the contributions of individual
variabilities, personality, behavioral coping styles, and pain levels in predicting changes
from trait to state preferences and preferred music characteristics under various pain
conditions.
Cancer patients were recruited to fill in questionnaires pertaining to their demographic
information (age, gender, religious preference, ethnicity, music background and experience),
personality traits, music preferences, preferences for music characteristics, coping styles,
and pain experiences.
