music audio mood

Music and in-vehicle audio effects on mood and driving: how listening to music, tempo, volume, genre, and the cabin sound environment alter driver affect, arousal, and consequent performance (mood induction via music, tempo-arousal effects, audio entertainment as secondary task). Defined by the audio cause, distinct from affect_mood, which concerns mood regardless of origin, and from the auditory-distraction/secondary-task literature that emphasizes attentional load rather than affective/arousal modulation.
