| description | Relatively
little is known about aesthetic chills, the experience of goose bumps and
shivers in response to the arts. The present study explored how often people
report such experiences and what people who often experience them are like.
After noting which domain of the arts they encountered most often in daily life,
young adults (n = 188) rated how often they experienced
aesthetic chills and related states. Latent variable models suggested three
latent factors-aesthetic chills, feeling touched, and
absorption-that shared a higher-order factor. As expected, people high in
openness to experience and expertise in the arts consistently reported
experiencing aesthetic chills more often. The Big Five personality factors
accounted for about half of the variance, whereas cognitive and demographic
variables were relatively unimportant. The individual-differences approach thus
seems like a promising complement to experimental work on aesthetic chills. |
