Music is the food of love,according to poets. And classical music,it seems,may be fine rain for restaurants. The music of Mozart,Bach and Beethoven played in restaurants makes diners feel richer and encourages them to spend money,according to the research made by the University of Leicester in centralEngland.
“When you hear a piece of music,it activates(激活) all types of knowledge,^ said Adrian North,a senior lecturer in psychology at a university who carried out tests in a restaurant near Leicester over a period of three weeks. “If you hear classical music,it gives you the feeling of wealth and it makes you feel a bit noble.In a restaurant,this has the effect of making you spend a bit more money. ” Researchers found that classical music,often connected with wealth,was the most successful in encouraging people to pay cash,with diners spending more than 24 pounds a head.
But when the music was Britney Spears’,diners spent less than 22 pounds a head,they found. With no background music,spending fell to around 21 pounds. “Where people were really spending the money was on the luxurious(奢侈的) things,such as desserts and coffees,” said James Davis, owner of Softleys Restaurant in Market Bosworth,where the research was carried out. He also said, “I think this research will certainly affect what we will play in the future. ”
