"Multiple Regression Modeling of the Emotional Content of Film and Music"
by Rob Parke, Elaine Chew, and Chris Kyriakakis 
{parke, echew, ckyriak}@usc.edu

ABSTRACT: 
Our research seeks to model the effect of music on the perceived
emotional content of film media.  We used participants' ratings of the
emotional content of film-alone, music-alone, and film-music pairings
for a collection of emotionally neutral film clips and emotionally
provocative music segments.  Mapping the results onto a
three-dimensional emotion space, we observed a strong relationship
between the ratings of the film- and music-alone clips, and those of
the film-music pairs.  Previously, we modeled the ratings in each
dimension independently. We now develop models, using stepwise
regression, to describe the film-music ratings based on all dimensions
simultaneously, and allowing for quadratic terms.  We demonstrate that
while linear-terms are sufficient for single dimensional models, a
multidimensional approach yields better results.
