Kurzfassung auf Deutsch:
Chills, meaning strong emotional responses to music, have to date been almost
only examined within experimental settings. Within the pilot-study at
hand the first psychometric inventory for the measurement of subjective
chill-sensations (MRCQ) was developed using two successive samples. Here
through is should be possible to assess intra- and interindividual differences
reliably and in a standardized fashion outside of a laboratory situation. The
first study descriptively examined open questions on chill-sensations on a
sample of n=151. A second study (n=108) examined the existence of latent
dimensions within the pool of items constructed in the first study. Factor
analyses yielded five facettes of chill-sensations: positive, physiological,
motor and social-cognitive reactivity as well as general disorientation. All
five scales reached sufficient reliability for their individual item numbers.
Correlations with other inventories (NEO-ffi, IAAM) show that chill-sensations
are closely linked to high extraversion, openness to experience and
emotional stability. The results, however, appear to be indicative of differences
between the sexes. On a whole the results support existing research
and theoretical models, but there are also some important differences. The
MRCQ offers a possibility of researching chills in non-experimental musicsciences.
