Cultural differences in the use of acoustic cues for musical emotion experience - Fig 1

Mean emotion rating comparisons, by Mode (Top: Alaap, Bottom: Gat), Raga, and Group (Enculturated/Non-Enculturated). The different ragas (by name) are ordered on the x-axis while the y-axis represents the eight emotional labels. The grey background represents the ratings of enculturated group while the white background represents the rating of the non-enculturated group. The intensity of response is color coded as indicated by the color bar on the right. Ragas are ordered from lowest to highest tonal ratio (m/M) shows high degree of similarity in both label and intensity of emotion response across the cultural groups. Of the 192 comparisons, there were differences in just 18 cases as indicated in the figure. Adjusted p-values: *<0.05, ** < 0.01, *** < 0.001.</p

Dotplot of distribution of emotion ratings for most frequently occurring common emotions.

A jittered dotplot of intensity ratings on x-axis of the most frequently occurring common emotion label associated with a raga on y-axis for the two cultural groups, *red for Enculturated and blue for Non-Enculturated) and two presentation stages. This dotplot avoids the problem of over-plotting due to discrete nature in this dataset by adding a small amount (horizontal variation of 40% and vertical variation of 20% of the resolution of the data) of random variation to the location of the ratings. The higher the concentration of dots by color, the higher the frequency of ratings by the cultural groups.</p

Box-and-whisker plots representing the percent variance explained in emotion ratings across two cultural groups.

Median % variance explained is also displayed for each emotion individually.</p

Bar plot of Variable Importance measures.

Based on Random Forest and XGBoost, Variable Importance of Musical Features (Rhythm and Tonality) are plotted for modeling emotional ratings for each of the eight emotions and two cultural groups (E = Enculturated, NE = Non-Enculturated).</p
