Research Findings
Costas I. Karageorghis's early scientific work (1993-99) addressed the lack of theory and measurement tools that pervaded the study of music-related interventions in the realm of sport and physical activity (e.g., Karageorghis, Terry, & Lane, 1999, 168 Google Scholar citations [GSC]). He and his co-workers developed a conceptual framework that was subsequently refined on two occasions (Karageorghis, 2015; Terry & Karageorghis, 2006, 81 GSC) and a measurement tool, the Brunel Music Rating Inventory (BMRI) that has been widely adopted and translated into several languages. The BMRI was refined in the mid-noughties using quantitative and qualitative approaches (BMRI-2; Karageorghis, Priest, Terry, Chatzisarantis, & Lane, 2006, 100 GSC). The body of theoretical and measurement-related work spawned three lines of experimental research: Examination of the effects of asynchronous or background music (e.g., Karageorghis, Jones, & Low, 2006, 87 GSC); examination of the effects of synchronous music that promotes bodily entrainment (e.g., Karageorghis, Mouzourides, et al., 2009, 138 GSC); and the interactive effects of music and video (e.g., Hutchinson, Karageorghis, & Jones, 2015, 8 GSC). To assist scholars in developing their approach to this area, he and his co-workers have produced a series of highly- cited critical reviews that have been influential in the experimental study of music beyond my own domain of exercise and health (e.g., Karageorghis & Terry, 1997, 278 GSC; Karageorghis & Priest, 2012, 108 GSC). Dr. Karageorghis has been a champion of the public dissemination of science and appeared many times on TV and radio all over the world. Six TV documentaries have been made about my music-related research including one by the Discovery Channel. His research has been adopted by multinational corporations such as Universal Music, Spotify, and the International Management Group (IMG).
