Previous research has shown that musical mood, preference for musical pieces, and nostalgia for musical pieces elicit pleasant emotion. However, previous studies have used a scale on musical mood that contained items regarding nostalgia, and despite the fact that nostalgia has been described as a complex feeling, most of studies have measured nostalgia on only a single dimension. This study reexamined the factor structure of the musical mood scale and developed a scale that measures multiple dimensions of nostalgia in order to determine which of these dimensions elicits positive emotion. Fortyone undergraduate and graduate students were asked to answer a multi-dimensional nostalgia scale after listening to music that was nostalgic for their generation. They also answered three scales on the elicited positive emotion, preference for musical pieces, and musical mood. Multilevel model analysis showed that only wistfulness significantly enhanced deactivating positive emotion, even after controlling for musical mood.
