| dc.description.abstract | This research seeks to develop a conceptual framework for understanding the psychological and social processes of engagement for attendees of small, popular music venues. An extensive review of literature is undertaken, exploring attendee engagement and peak and flow experience, social capital, place attachment, music scenes, and spatial studies. Framed within the construct of a research capstone, two University of Oregon courses also guided this project: AAA 510 Collaborative Futures, and MUE 547 Psychology of Music. The conceptual framework resulting from this inquiry suggests that it is the transient nature of the live concert experience, as well as potential for flow and peak experience facilitated by live music’s time and space-shifting properties, that crystallizes personal feelings and social interactions into a liminal space within the venue. Further, music venue attendee place attachment is wrought from repetitive positive personal and social experiences within the venue. Recommendations for further study include field research exploring place attachment in music venues, social influences on musically induced peak experience, and social bridging within music venues. | en_US |
