The current research project is based on our previous project on cross-cultural music emotion recognition. It was found that in-group advantage in the cross-cultural music emotion recognition was not well substantiated in our previous project, as different cultural groups seemed to generally demonstrate better performance in recognising specific emotions. In addition, differences in the quantity and quality of acoustic cues associated with emotion recognition across cultures were shown. Based on relevant literature, the above findings could be related to the differences in the personality traits or cognitive styles among a particular culture, and thus the current research project exploring these assumptions is conducted.
