MOOD CHANGES DEPENDING ON PIANO AND HUMAN VOICE

Öz

This study examined the mood changes created by Soprano-Alto-Tenor and Bass voices on people. A quasi-experimental design with a post-test control group was used as the research model. The study group consisted of a total of 155 students studying in the preparatory classes of a state university located in the Western Black Sea region. The participants in the study were randomly assigned to listen to 2 (piano: with piano and without piano) x 4 (voice types: soprano, alto, tenor and bass) voice types. Data were obtained using the ‘Mood Scale’ developed by Coşkun and Gültepe (2014). The data obtained were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test in pairwise comparisons and the Kruskal Wallis H test in more than 2 cases. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the alto voice type among different human voice types created a significant difference on mood. The findings showed that (a) the piano sound reduced anger and anxiety, (b) the alto voice type made people less angry and calmer, relaxed and joyful with the piano, and (c) the bass voice type accompanied by the piano provided the highest relaxation. These findings were discussed in the light of new approaches.

Piyano ve İnsan Seslerine Bağli Duygusal Değişiklikler

Öz

Bu araştırmada, Soprano-Alto-Tenor ve Bas seslerinin, insanlar üzerinde yarattığı duygudurum değişimi incelenmiştir. Araştırma modeli olarak son test kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, Batı Karadeniz bölgesinde bulunan bir devlet üniversitenin hazırlık sınıflarında öğrenim görmekte olan toplam 155 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada yer alan katılımcılar, 2 (piyano: piyano ve piyanosuz) x 4 (ses türleri: soprano, alto, tenor ve bas) ses türlerini dinleme durumuna rastgele atanmıştır. Veriler, Coşkun ve Gültepe (2014) tarafından geliştirilen ‘Duygudurum Ölçeği’ aracılığı ile elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, ikili karşılaştırmalarda Mann-Whitney U, 2’den fazla durumlarda ise Kruskal Wallis H testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, farklı insan seslerinden Alto ses türünün, duygudurum üzerinde anlamlı bir farklılık oluşturduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. Bulgular, (a) piyano sesinin öfke ve kaygıyı azalttığını, (b) alto sesinin insanları piyanoyla daha az öfkeli, daha sakin, rahat ve neşeli yaptığını ve (c) piyano durumundaki bas sesinin en yüksek rahatlamayı sağladığını göstermiştir. Bu bulgular yeni yaklaşımlar ışığında tartışılmıştır.
