Abstract

In this study, we examined the actual meaning of the song to see exactly how music affects an individual’s emotion in relation to shopper’s behavior in a shopping environment. Past research has proven that the tempo of a song plays an important role in a person’s emotion (Webster & Weir, 2005). A 2x2 factorial ANOVA was used to measure the change in mood based on tempo and meaning of a song of 102 undergraduate students. Results revealed a significant interaction between tempo and emotion of the song selection on an individual’s emotion rating, F(2,406)=4.84, p<0.01; confirm that music does have an effect on individual’s emotions.
