Abstract
2 psychophysical scaling procedures, category judgment and magnitude estimation, were applied to affective judgments of a total of 111 musical excerpts. The affective category scale was found to be a roughly logarithmic function of the affective magnitude estimation scale. To this extent the affective scale behaves as an "intensity" or prothetic continuum. The category-magnitude relation is invariant under differences in S's education, age, sex, and alcoholic deterioration. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
