Hazel Van Der Walle demonstrates the richness obtained through a qualitative+co-occurence network approach to understanding mental content during music listening. resulting in a really cool consideration of the narrative, referential, and experiential components. #MUSICONNEX #MusicScience

How transparent is music psychology as a discipline? Unfortunately not yet near acceptable levels in making data (5%), analysis scripts (1%) available, nor committing to preregistration (0%) or replications (3%). Benchmarked to psychology in graph.

This infographic displays the key statistics from an analysis of 239 studies in music psychology and compares the prevalence of data sharing, preregistration and open access publication to a similar analysis in psychology

Considering they only had 4 weeks to build the study, collect the data, analyse it, & create a presentation, they did well to #replicate these. Studies that offered stimuli & materials openly (J T Mantell, @hazelvanderwalle.bsky.social @francescatalamini.bsky.social deserve a special thanks as well
