the Evaluation of Music Listeners' Traits

With this research project about perceptions of other people, we were particularly interested in investigating how people perceive the personality of others based on written descriptions. The study was conducted by Kaila Putter, who was supervised by Dr Amanda Krause. This project contributed to Ms Putter’s Bachelor of Psychological Science Honours project at James Cook University. This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee (ID: H8370). If you have any questions about the study, please contact Ms Kaila Putter.
