    Music and facial emotion recognition and its relationship with alexithymia
    (Psychology of Music, 2022) García-Rodríguez, María; Alvarado Izquierdo, Jesús María; Fernández-Company, José-Fernando; Jiménez Rodríguez, Virginia; Ivanova Iotova, Anelia
    The objective of this study was to determine the influence of alexithymia on the ability to identify emotions through visual and auditory stimuli. We assessed Alexithymia using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). As visual stimuli, we employed the images of faces from the Ekman 60 Faces Test, while the auditory stimuli consisted of fragments of instrumental music. A total of 303 students participated, 139 in secondary education and 164 in the first year of university (M = 17.58 years; SD = 4.16). The results show higher alexithymia levels in the female participants than in the male participants, mainly in the difficulty identifying feelings (DIF) and difficulty describing feelings (DDF) factors, and higher in the secondary students than in the university students, especially in externally oriented thinking (EOT). In terms of the identification of emotions through auditory stimuli, the EOT factor showed a strong predictive effect for the emotions of surprise and anger. For the visual stimuli, the EOT factor showed predictive validity for identifying happiness, while the DDF factor showed predictive validity for identifying sadness. We conclude that there is a relationship between alexithymia levels and emotion recognition, which varies depending on the nature of the stimulus.

    La creación en la enseñanza musical de la Comunidad de Madrid: estudio curricular comparativo
    (Revista electrónica de LEEME, 2019) Martinez Hierrezuelo, Yailin; Ivanova Iotova, Anelia; Martínez Valle, Carlos
    La creación musical es uno de los elementos fundamentales de la educación musical y se manifiesta a través de los procesos de improvisación, elaboración de arreglos y composición musical. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar el tratamiento que se le otorga a la creación musical en los currículos de educación primaria, enseñanzas elementales de música y escuelas de música de la Comunidad de Madrid. Para la realización de la investigación se siguieron las metodologías de tipo documental (estudio de los diferentes decretos) y comparado (análisis y medición de los datos, clasificados en dimensiones e indicadores de comparación). Los resultados muestran que los currículos de primaria y enseñanzas elementales presentan a la creación musical a través de la improvisación y la composición como objetivo, habilidad, medio de aprendizaje y evaluación, sin embargo carecen de orientaciones metodológicas concretas para trabajarla secuencial y didácticamente, y en las orientaciones metodológicas para las escuelas de música no se evidencia a la creación musical entre sus aspectos educativos fundamentales. Puede concluirse que la creación musical necesita mayor soporte metodológico y curricular, acorde a las demandas educativas actuales y en consonancia al carácter creativo del arte. El arte es creación y la educación musical no debería soslayar los procesos de los cuales emerge la música.

    Pleasure in music and its relationship with social anhedonia
    (Studies in Psychology = Estudios de Psicología, 2021) García-Rodríguez, María; Fernández-Company, José-Fernando; Alvarado Izquierdo, Jesús María; Jiménez Rodríguez, Virginia; Ivanova Iotova, Anelia
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the inability to feel pleasure towards music — or musical anhedonia — is part of the psychological construct of anhedonia (DSM-5) or whether they are both independent constructs, as suggested by the field of cognitive neuroscience. To assess this objective, six unpublished musical compositions were created to evoke basic emotions. We analysed the level of arousal and valence in a sample of 153 music professionals and 303 students (M = 17.58 years, SD = 4.16) and were able to verify a high consistency between the results of both groups. By using a structural equation model, we subsequently observed a statistically significant high correlation (r = .63, p < .001) between the latent means of valence (pleasure evoked by musical fragments) and levels of social anhedonia, measured by the Anticipatory and Consummatory Interpersonal Pleasure Scale (ACIPS). Furthermore, social pleasure maintained inverse correlations with the emotions of negative valence (Anger, Fear and Disgust) provoked by musical fragments, which allowed us to conclude that musical anhedonia is strongly related to social anhedonia.
