Since the late 20th century, psychology of music has been pursued as a cognitive, empirical, data-driven discipline, building upon knowledge from musicology and psychology, as well as from the cognitive sciences and neurosciences. Currently, it covers various areas of research, including but not limited to music sensation, perception, cognition, and empirical investigations of the links between music and emotion; developmental music psychology, the issues of musical talent, the acquisition of musical skills, and the phenomenon of absolute pitch; music performance, composition and improvisation; neural correlates of listening to music and music-making; social aspects of music including its role in everyday life, in social, ethnic and broader cultural groups, as well as in educational and therapeutic settings. Empirical research in this specialised and interdisciplinary field has been underrepresented within the domestic academic community. The task of building up a systematic research base will require a collective effort of experts from related disciplines.

The Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA) is the gold standard for diagnosing amusia. We aimed to evaluate its factorial and convergent validity. Data were collected for the MBEA and a self-report Amusic Dysfunction Inventory on a non-random sample (n = 249), and the following Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) procedures were conducted: confirmatory factor analysis of the theoretical model; exploratory SEM for alternative non-restricted factor solutions; and structural models with each of these solutions as predictors of the inventory’s items. The theoretical model did not prove acceptable goodness of fit, and two- and three factor non-restricted models were better-fitted solutions for Scale, Contour and Interval tests, and Meter and Memory tests, respectively, than the theoretical one-factor model. This may reflect distinct perceptual processes related to neurocognitive demand. The non-restricted models of Scale, Meter and Memory showed to be acceptable predictors of self-reported capacity for melodic perception, vocal production, rhythmic coordination, and memory.
