Summary/Abstract: Joanna Rządkowska, Alicja Paracka and Natalia Frankowska (Warsaw School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Faculty in Sopot), are the authors of the research study: “Non-Stimulating tradition: the influence of temperament on art preferences’’. Boiling down their precise report they state that the connection between temperament and preferences in appreciation of the plastic arts is inconclusive. It appears that temperament is able to influence preference changes during strong emotional arousal. The fact that we perceive art differently in terms of fear and no fear situations, may have some implications for art therapy. It doesn’t seem to us that it could have implications for the general judgement of modern art and its “utility’’ – we don’t blame the authors for that.
