本数据集系一篇题为《用于情绪调节的音乐播放列表生成：面向痴呆症患者个性化音乐干预的功能组件》的硕士学位论文的配套研究产物。完整报告可参见参考文献，其中对本数据集及其来源实验进行了全面且详细的阐述。

以下为实验与数据的简要概述：

**实验概况**
本实验为线上开展的行为实验，共有22名受试者完成全部实验流程。受试者首先填写背景调查问卷，随后在聆听四首音乐的过程中完成针对对应乐曲的相关问题作答，且在切换至下一首乐曲前，需通过AffectButton完成情绪状态自评。完成全部四首乐曲的聆听与作答环节后，受试者还需填写收尾调查问卷。

**数据说明**
本数据集分为两个逗号分隔值（Comma-Separated Values，CSV）文件，分别为experimentData与songData。其中，experimentData包含每名受试者的实验级数据，例如背景问卷作答结果、情绪状态自评记录等；songData则为乐曲级数据，涵盖受试者聆听乐曲时完成的问卷作答结果等内容。所有字段及其数据类型的完整说明可参见参考文献中附载的学位论文报告。
