A tear-eliciting song was perceived as calmer than a chill-eliciting song. A song that induced chills was perceived as being both happy and sad whereas a song that induced tears was perceived as sad. A psychophysiological experiment showed that self-reported chills increased electrodermal activity and subjective arousal whereas tears produced slow respiration during heartbeat acceleration, although both chills and tears induced pleasure and deep breathing. The current research takes a new perspective of peak emotional response of tears (weeping, lump in the throat). However, many aspects of peak emotion are still not understood. Previous studies have demonstrated that the peak emotional experience of chills (goose bumps or shivers) when listening to music involves psychophysiological arousal and a rewarding effect. People sometimes experience a strong emotional response to artworks.
