Abstract Why does the same experience elicit strong emotional responses in some individuals while leaving others largely indifferent? Is variance influenced by who people are (personality traits), how they feel (emotional state), where come from (demographics), or a unique combination of these? In this 2,900+ participants study, we disentangle factors that underlie individual variations universal aesthetic chills, feeling cold and shivers down spine during peak experiences. Here, unravel interplay psychological sociocultural dynamics influencing self-reported chills reactions. A novel technique harnessing mass data mining social media platforms curates first large database ecologically sourced chills-evoking stimuli. machine learning techniques (LASSO SVM) multilevel modeling analysis elucidates interacting roles demographics, traits, states chills. These findings highlight tractable set features predicting occurrence intensity chills—age, sex, pre-exposure arousal, predisposition to Kama Muta (KAMF), absorption (modified tellegen scale [MODTAS]), with 73.5% accuracy accounting for 48% intensity. While traditional methods typically suffer lack control over stimuli their effects, approach allows assignment tailored biopsychosocial profiles, thereby, increasing experimental decreasing unexplained variability. Further, elucidate hidden factors, contextual shape seemingly “subjective” phenomena.

Aesthetic chills are a peak emotional response to stimuli such as music, films, or speech characterized by shivers and goosebumps activation of dopaminergic circuits. Despite growing scientific interest in this phenomenon, repeated exposure has not been studied yet, due the absence validated database. This study leverages recent gold standard investigate impact on frequency intensity aesthetic chills. Participants (n = 58) were randomly exposed 6 chill-evoking pre-validated population interest, counterbalanced order. Our findings revealed significant decrease likelihood experiencing with exposure, suggesting habituation itself potential fatigue stimuli. However, we observed an increase duration over successive exposures among those who did experience The also identified distinct demographic psychophysiological patterns across different participant groups, indicating variability chill responses. These results provide insights into dynamic nature experiences their underlying neural mechanisms, implications for understanding reward processing psychophysiology.
