Data Sheet 1_How experiencing eudaimonic emotions through music shapes prosocial and altruistic behavior: introducing a Unified Model of Music-Listening-Induced Eudaimonia (UMMIE).pdf

This paper introduces the Unified Model of Music-Listening Induced Eudaimonia (UMMIE), which offers an integrated novel theoretical framework to explain how music listening promotes prosocial and altruistic outcomes. Drawing on communication and psychology research, UMMIE maintains that elicitation of eudaimonic emotions can be appraised inwards, towards oneself, and thus contribute to the individual's personal growth, wellbeing, and development, or outwards, by connecting to something bigger than oneself, to humanity in general, which could possibly then lead to enhanced prosocial and altruistic attitudes and behaviors. The model specifies musical, situational, and individual variables that serve as moderators and increase the likelihood of experiencing inwards or outwards effects of music listening. In this way, the current article organizes and synthesizes existing literature and offers a novel blueprint for future research.

本文介绍了音乐聆听诱发幸福完满（eudaimonia）统一模型（Unified Model of Music-Listening Induced Eudaimonia，UMMIE），该模型提供了一套整合性的全新理论框架，用以阐释音乐聆听如何促进亲社会与利他行为结果。该模型借鉴传播学与心理学领域的研究成果，提出核心主张：幸福完满情绪的唤起可被划分为向内指向个体自身，进而助力个体成长、福祉与发展；或向外联结超越个体的整体人类，由此可能催生更强的亲社会与利他态度及行为。该模型界定了音乐、情境与个体三类调节变量，这些变量能够提升个体感知音乐聆听向内或向外效应的概率。综上，本文梳理并整合了现有相关文献，同时为未来研究提供了全新的研究蓝图。
