Cultivate the most interesting and practical psychology every day
Music plays a meaningful role in human life, we create music, understand music, move music, and glimpse the clues of human nature in every melody.
What kind of music a person likes, he is probably what kind of person he is.
Women who like jazz music are bound to be full of charm; men who like classical music are destined to be serious and cautious. People with extraordinary achievements or charm know how to cultivate themselves with music. In the contest between the sexes, men with music-related labels are more popular with women, and the white shirt boys with guitars that appear in idol dramas are examples.
There is an interesting finding about the relationship between people and music, that is, women can judge whether men are careful by observing their musical tastes. And this is not an illogical guess, but a concrete experimental study proves it.
A psychological experiment was conducted at the University of Nagasaki in Japan, in which 76 men and women divided music into 5 categories, played it to the experimenters, and tested their testosterone values at the same time. The results of the test were that men with higher testosterone values disliked classical music. The type of music women like is not affected by testosterone values.
Testosterone is one of the most important hormones in the human body, especially for men's sexual function and sperm production function has an important role, men with high testosterone values are more aggressive and predatory, and this also means that they will be undisguised about their sexual desires, and the possibility of cheating is higher.
Studies have shown that these men with high testosterone values do not like classical music, because the melody and rhythm of classical music are regular, and the first stimulation is not strong, which is too boring for men with high testosterone values who like to challenge and pursue adventure. Among the older men, we found that there are not a few people who like classical music.
That is to say, if a man likes music types like classical music, piano music, folk songs, etc., with strong regularity and weak first irritation, then his testosterone value is relatively low, and he is more specific in sexual interaction. Men who like rhythm, intense melody, and can instantly arouse emotional excitement in the music genre have higher testosterone values and lower loyalty to feelings in intersex interactions.
However, the ancients said: it is better to believe in books than to have no books. All conclusions are relative, and so are the conclusions, not absolute.
This is only an analysis on a relative level, a man is not easy to cheat, but also combined with multi-faceted reality to judge, not just like music. Humans are a species that is easily educated and knows how to weigh the pros and cons, a trait that is particularly pronounced in men, and all specialization depends on the pros and cons.
But it is true that music plays a pivotal role in a person's life. Music is incomparably pioneering, innovative, and has a particularly strong nurturing effect on people themselves. A person who has music in his life will have a greater vision, a better understanding of the seven passions and six desires of life, and thus a better understanding of life.
The understanding of music is not only intellectual, experiential and emotional, but also cognitive, rational and speculative. By exploring the connection between music and people, we can better understand each person, understand others, and face up to all kinds of small problems in human nature.
Psychologists have conducted research and analysis with 208 members of 3 different symphony orchestras.
The results of the study found that the band members who usually play classical music are relatively peaceful in temperament, gentle and elegant in dealing with people and things, and have fewer emotional ups and downs in life.
More than 70% of the members who mainly play modern music suffer from nervousness, more than 60% of the members are easily irritated, and more than 20% of the members are often depressed, and often accompanied by other related negative effects. Therefore, concerts affect people's personality, or what kind of personality a person will like what kind of music, and the personality is constantly deepened by this music.
The influence of music and personality is two-way, just like one side of the water and soil nourishes the other, the environment determines the characteristics of the person, and the person will also transform the environment. As the Tao Te Ching says: "Therefore, whether there is a mutual birth or not, difficult and easy to achieve, long and short, high and low, sound and harmony, back and forth." "Music and human character also reflect each other.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the famous German physiologist and psychologist Hermholtz also conducted in-depth and detailed discussions on the role of sound on the auditory organs and the auditory nerve. They found that the physiological role of music begins with the effect of sound on people's auditory organs and auditory nerves, and then affects the activity of muscles, blood veins and other organs throughout the body.
Based on this, "music therapy" was born in the field of psychiatric diseases. All of the above research and analysis are all proof of a problem: music and human character are closely related.
Having music is really a gift from Heaven, and music is not only an entertainment pastime, but also a spiritual sustenance for many people. In fact, music itself is a realistic state of life, and the composer has a strong subjectivity when he first creates it, and the emotions expressed in the song are also very personal.
Why we are moved by a song and a movie, on the surface, seems to be because the mood or story expounded is deeply moving. But it's actually because we find ourselves in those twists and turns, some of the emotions the composer wants to express overlap highly with our own life experiences, and certain emotions deep within us are awakened. This once again corroborates what kind of people like what kind of music, and the type of music in turn solidifies people's personality.
The influence of music on people has a long history. It is emphasized in the Book of Rites that music is not only to satisfy the appetite of the mouth and ears, but also to educate people to cultivate correct good thoughts through the beauty of music and return to the right path of being a human being. The fundamental purpose of pleasure is to promote the cultivation of a harmonious disposition, so that the entire human society has a harmonious disposition, and an atmosphere, thus ensuring the stable development of society.
Therefore, we can also reverse the understanding that music is the catalyst for the quality of life, if you can learn a kind of music as much as possible, or the type of music, to achieve unconditional learning and appreciation of a type of music, it will also have unexpected changes in life.
The first person in ancient Greece to establish a musical education through rhythm and melody believed that man's actual pursuit was formed through the repeated indoctrination of the senses. That is to say, under the influence of beautiful music for a long time, a noble personality can be shaped.
