Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purposes of this study were 1) to delineate any differences in general musical taste (trait) and context-specific music preference (state), as well as preferred music characteristics in cancer patients, 2) to investigate the contributions of individual variabilities, personality, behavioral coping styles, and pain levels in predicting changes from trait to state preferences and preferred music characteristics under various pain conditions. Cancer patients were recruited to fill in questionnaires pertaining to their demographic information (age, gender, religious preference, ethnicity, music background and experience), personality traits, music preferences, preferences for music characteristics, coping styles, and pain experiences.
