With the publication of Gustav Theodor Fechner’s Vorschule der Ästhetik, the year 1876 marks the beginning of Experimental Aesthetics, which is the second-oldest branch of Experimental Psychology. In his major work, Fechner suggested the study of aesthetics "from below", applying empirical knowledge. To date, the Experimental Aesthetics enjoys a growing number of researches from different fields of Psychology. The present symposia, therefore, comprise contributions investigating a variety of domains including, for example, live performances, materials, and tattoos, Furthermore, questions of the influence of several stimuli’s and individual’s characteristics, including but not
limited to complexity, memory resources, personality differences, and types of stimuli, are addressed.
