This study explores the relationship between DJs’ behaviors, audience positive affect, and perceptions of music and the performer at live electronic dance music (EDM) events. Despite the DJ's central role in creating event atmosphere, little empirical research exists on how their actions impact audience experience. A field study was conducted in various EDM clubs in Belgium, recording DJ performances and collecting real-time audience feedback. Analyzed behaviors included dancing, grooving, eye contact, smiling, moving from the console, and console use. Results showed that DJs’ physical engagement, especially dancing, increased audience positive affect, while moving away from the console decreased it. However, these behaviors did not significantly influence perceptions of the DJ or music. The study highlights the potential of synchrony-facilitating behaviors to enhance audience's affect. This work provides insights into performer-audience interactions and optimizing emotional experiences at live music events.

DJ 行为与观众对节目的积极影响和感知之间的关系。电子舞曲俱乐部的实地研究


本研究探讨了 DJ 的行为、观众的积极影响以及对音乐的看法与现场电子舞曲 （EDM） 活动中的表演者之间的关系。尽管 DJ 在营造活动氛围方面发挥着核心作用，但关于他们的行为如何影响观众体验的实证研究很少。在比利时的各个 EDM 俱乐部进行了一项实地研究，记录 DJ 表演并收集实时观众反馈。分析的行为包括跳舞、开槽、眼神交流、微笑、从控制台移动和控制台使用。结果表明，DJ 的身体参与，尤其是跳舞，增加了观众的积极影响，而远离控制台则降低了这种影响。然而，这些行为并没有显着影响对 DJ 或音乐的看法。该研究强调了促进同步的行为在增强受众情感方面的潜力。这项工作提供了对表演者与观众互动的见解，并优化了现场音乐活动的情感体验。
