brainsci-11-01553.pdfNeural Correlates of Music Listening: Does The Music Matter?
Brief Summary
Reybrouck, Vuust, and Brattico (2021) review the neural correlates of music listening, arguing that the experience extends far beyond auditory processing to engage reward systems, emotional responses, and individual personality traits.
Relevance to topic
This is relevant to my project because the paper specifically identifies Openness to Experience as a modulator of emotional responses to music, and distinguishes between cognitive and affective listening modes that produce distinct neural signatures — both central to what I'm investigating.

Brief Summary
Tavani et al. (2016) examine how familiarity with music influences satisfaction, and whether Openness to Experience moderates that relationship. They find that individuals higher in Openness are less satisfied with familiar music, even when controlling for other personality traits.
Relevance to topic
This is relevant to my project because it provides direct behavioral evidence that Openness to Experience shapes how people respond to and evaluate music, supporting the foundation of my research question around trait openness and attitude formation.
Personality Uses of Music and Music Preference_ The influence o.pdfPersonality, Uses of Music, and Music Preference: The influence of openness to experience and extroversion
Brief Summary
Vella and Mills (2017) investigate how personality traits, particularly Openness to Experience and Extraversion, predict music preference, and whether how people use music mediates that relationship. They find that Openness predicts preference for reflective-complex and intense-rebellious genres, and that cognitive uses of music partially explain the link between Openness and those preferences.
Relevance to topic
This is relevant to my project because it demonstrates that Openness to Experience not only shapes what music people prefer, but also how they engage with it cognitively and emotionally, providing useful behavioral context for the neural attitude formation processes I am investigating.
