I am doing a psychology project and I am in need of experiment ideas for my topic. My topic is how personality and music are connected. Any ideas?

How detailed do you need to be? How about a standard personality test and then play them some mix tapes of various music and monitor their blood pressure and ask what the music makes them feel or what they like. That’s pretty basic, but it might give you a baseline to start from.

How ‘bout ” music soothes the savage beast.”
Are you brave enough to play lullabies sitting in grizzly bear territory or in a tigers enclosure? lol

Maybe you could monitor a group of peoples personality, get a misfit group (different sorts of personalities) and record them down, then play different types of music to them (make sure they are separate from each other) and get them to fill out a survey telling you how they felt afterwards in one word

Prepare a video of a traffic stop, or something like that. Instead of having the voices, use several different kinds of music. Show these videos to lots of people, and have them tell you how it made them feel.
