The Frisson of Experience
The Frisson of Experience

An intellectual experience as well as emotion adds to the music "thrill" response.
...the results also showed that "it’s the cognitive components of 'Openness to Experience' – such as making mental predictions about how the music is going to unfold or engaging in musical imagery (a way of processing music that combines listening with daydreaming) – that are associated with frisson to a greater degree than the emotional components." This conclusion indicates that "those who intellectually immerse themselves in music (rather than just letting it flow over them) might experience frisson more often and more intensely than others."

Frisson and Openness to Experience
Do you get goosebumps when listening to particularly moving music? If so, would you consider yourself as someone who is more open to experience?
Studies have shown that people who possess "Openness to Experience" have "unusually active imaginations, appreciate beauty and nature, seek out new experiences, often reflect deeply on their feelings, and love variety in life," explains social psychologist Mitchell Colver. Some aspects of this trait are inherently emotional and others are cognitive, so the combination makes for an imaginative empathizer with great intellectual curiosity and appreciation of beauty.
