- 요약Biologists, anthropologists, and musicologists alike have long questioned the origins and prevalence of music in human cultures: How is it that music is as widespread amongst humans as language, or the use of tools? In seeking explanations for how a music-making society might have an evolutionary advantage over a music-less one, some scholars have concluded that music supports a key function in human society: large-scale social bonding (Savage et al., 2021).One well-supported theory suggests that music facilitates group cohesion through interpersonal synchrony; when groups of people synchronize with one another via entrainment to a musical beat (dancing, marching, playing music, etc.), this synchrony promotes prosocial behavior (Cirelli et al., 2014; Kirschner & Tomasello, 2010). While links between synchrony and prosocial behavior are well-established, this explanation fails to capture the breadth of musical engagement. A nontrivial element of many musical traditions is passive listening, which necessitates no synchronized movement; what, then, accounts for bonding experienced after listening to a record with friends, or watching a band perform live?This dissertation investigates the relationship between the specific contents of music-evoked imagery during music listening and social relationships with other listeners. In particular, it investigates music-evoked autobiographical memories and the impact that intersubjectivity in the recalled memories has on feelings of affiliation with co-listeners. The following chapters describe a series of five behavioral experiments exploring the semantic contents of music-evoked autobiographical memories, the musical features and listening behaviors that drive the content of these memories, and the impact of these memories on social relationships during joint listening. The results of this research reveal that, when listening to hit songs from various popular genres, people with similarities in age and experiences often report memories with similar settings and activities in response to a given song. Additionally, there is significant consensus among participants over what types of memories are likely to be associated with which songs. Finally, pairs of listeners who report similarities in the semantic or emotional content of their memories demonstrate greater affiliation for their listening partners than pairs with dissimilar memories.
