This is scientific American's 60 seconds science. I'm Eric Berris. Got a minute?
We all have those confidence surging songs that we listen to before making an event. Now researchers say that the lyrics1 are not what necessarily what make us feel dominant2, it’s the booming bass3. That’s according to the study in the Journal-Social Psychology4 and Personality Science.
Certain types of music, such as heavy metal and hip-hop, make people feel powerful and aggressive. Let’s find out why researchers had people listen to dozens of songs. Then they ask how powerful the participants feel while listening. Toping the list for imbuing5 a sense of strike
At the bottom, questioning
The researchers then have subjects listen to the songs and do some tests. In one, the volunteers were told they could win money if they predicted the outcome of the dice6-roll, either by their party or themselves. Even though the outcome will be random7 in either case, those who had listened to bass heavy music were more likely to want to be one to roll the dice.
In other test, participants listening to bass heavy music picked more powerful words when doing word exercises and were more likely to want to go first in the bass.
So if you wanna power boost, try just pumping up the bass
