[QUOTE="Air, post: 1139439, member: 15182"] The 1st cut of the results is straightforward, but there are bit more to be said about 2 of the three identified clusters. The emotional and mood activation and regulation function or use need little clarification, but the cognitive and social clusters seem more nuanced. The cognitive cluster based on results from other studies seems to involve not only the intellectual processes to help with identity and find meaning and philosophical relevance in the world but also involves the stimulation that might be gained from analysing the structure and form of music, various interpretations of a set piece etc. Therefore this cluster or factor might have a few subcomponents. The same is probably true for the social cluster. Besides playing an important role in attraction between people( music often plays an important role in courting), elements such as socialising and dancing also come into play. What is interesting is how music more and more also becomes a signifier of our identity in the world connected through social media. We use music to tell the world who we are or perhaps who we want to be. With these first building blocks established, the research often starts to ask the question, does personality plays a role in the mix of how we typically would opt to use music and also what genres or styles lend themselves to be better or less suited in terms of the various functions of music. Reading through the research, I couldn't stop thinking about how this might have a bearing on our approach to gear and how it might relate to what psychological value we would like to derive from music. Do we see music as a craft or art? Do we want our audiophile interest to help us achieve our needs when it comes to music, or is the love of music a distinct entity from our preoccupation with the products, set up etc.? Is the interest in gear purely cognitive or intellectual, or does the gear also serve emotional needs? What about what we want to signal to our social network, I have taste, or I am savvy, so brands and flashy finishes do not sway me? [/QUOTE]
