Scientists claim that these studies demonstrate the influence of music and musical skill on immediate prosocial thoughts, decisions, and behavioral reactions. A considerable gender bias should be recognized, because in the study only a man turned to a woman. But on the whole, this statement is supported by the previous British research, in which “positive music” (that is, fast-paced pop music that was perceived as “inspiring”) was associated with an increase in prosocial actions, such as consent to hand out leaflets to a charity.
