Music-based group interaction (MGI) is a complex social phenomenon that is important for individuals' emotional experiences. However, research on emotion in tourism lacks a focus on group interaction integrating the mind and body. Guided by Damasio's neurocognitive-evolutionary theory, this study used an adapted go-along method at Midi Festivals to analyze festivalgoers' emotional experiences during MGI. Meanings of the body and its agency-related roles were captured between emotions, music, and group interaction. Results revealed three patterns of MGI—dissociative, reflective, and immersive—based on the extent of congruence between social and bodily rhythms. MGI allows participants to achieve a clear sense of self and shared belonging thanks to the unity between body and mind. The findings provide insights into contemplating emotions, the body, and group interaction within a musical context. Results suggest that music tourism holds value for enhancing individuals' emotion regulation and well-being, offering implications for practitioners in event management.

有意义的身体对话：基于音乐的团体互动的情感体验


基于音乐的群体互动（MGI）是一种复杂的社会现象，对个人的情感体验非常重要。然而，旅游情感研究缺乏对身心融合的群体互动的关注。本研究以达马西奥的神经认知进化理论为指导，采用了迷笛音乐节上的随行方法来分析音乐节观众在 MGI 期间的情感体验。身体的意义及其与机构相关的角色是在情感、音乐和群体互动之间捕捉到的。结果显示，根据社会节律和身体节律之间的一致性程度，MGI 的三种模式——分离性、反思性和沉浸式。 MGI让参与者通过身心的统一获得清晰的自我意识和共同归属感。这些发现提供了在音乐背景下思考情感、身体和群体互动的见解。结果表明，音乐旅游对于增强个人的情绪调节和幸福感具有价值，为活动管理的从业者提供了启示。
