The Effects of Music on Concentration Among Men and Women. Bryon Keiser Fort Lewis College

Important Theories and Research Dichotic listening- affecting or relating to the two ears differently in regard to a conscious aspect (as pitch or loudness) or a physical aspect (as frequency or energy) of sound. Ahern et al. Alain et al. Students were fastest at identifying targets defined by frequency when frequency separations in high- rate tone sequences were greater than one octave.

Research Question Does there appear to be an effect of music on men and women’s abilities to concentrate on an auditory dialogue?

Hypotheses I hypothesize that women will significantly answer more questions correctly than men.I hypothesize that women will significantly answer more questions correctly than men. Null Hypothesis- I hypothesize that there will be no correlation between gender and the number of questions correctly answered.Null Hypothesis- I hypothesize that there will be no correlation between gender and the number of questions correctly answered.

Operational Definitions Slow Tempo music- Phish, Brian and Robert (Story of the Ghost album).(played for 1.5 min) Fast Tempo Music- Phish, Limb by Limb (Story of the Ghost album).(played for 1.5 min) Control, no music- No music was played, just the dialogue that was pre-recorded of a man and a woman. Dependent variable/Correct answers- Recorded as the number of answers completed correctly within 2 minutes.
