Abstract
Objective. Emotional reactions to music result from the interaction between the characteristics of the piece, the listener, and the context where musical perception occurs. This work aims to investigate the role of the different characteristics of a musical event in emotional induction. Method. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a search in academic databases (Redalyc, SciELO, ScienceDirect, PubMed y Taylor y Francis) was conducted, selecting 25 empirical articles which propose a relationship between a single exposure to music and psychophysiological response. Results. The reviewed articles suggest that the quality of emotional response to music mainly depends on its musical features, but personal and contextual factors associated with the involvement with the experience would be able to modulate the magnitude of this response.
