Research on Music Make People Happy

Abstract

Extensive research has determined that music possesses the ability to evoke affective responses within human beings by systematically triggering the parts of the human brain that are controlled and regulated by means of dopamine. The concept of music holds an enigmatic quality, and it has been determined that it has been present throughout ancient human history as well. Hence it can be readily established that music holds a certain modicum of hedonic power that enables it to induce certain feelings of intrinsic satisfaction and happiness that can effectively mitigate the impact of mental stressors and initiate feelings of motivation, encouragement and power. This research article aims to systematically deduce the ability of music to invoke feelings of happiness within the minds of individuals. This research employed a secondary qualitative research design. A substantial body of literature was extracted from extant research publications and subjected to a systematic content analysis. Through this research, it can be readily concluded that music can potentially affect the human brain in profound ways. Listening to music can directly evoke feelings and emotions pertaining to happiness. The general happiness and satisfaction from ones life can be accurately measured through the levels of associated subjective wellbeing of a human at any particular point in time. This particular value averages at a certain level, which is representative of generalized life satisfaction in human beings and is directly proportional to happiness.
