Effects Of Music Listening Research Articles

A study on the effect of music listening on people with high neurotic tendency as evidenced by negative affective scores and physiological responses.

Music listening has been found to be effective in reducing stress levels with different participant samples. Relatively little evidence has been obtained from people with high neurotic tendency (HNT), whose dispositional psychological characteristics might dampen the effect of music listening. This study therefore tried to examine the immediate effect of music listening in reducing stressful feelings of participants with either high or low neurotic tendency. Seventy-nine undergraduate participants who were identified as having either HNT or low neurotic tendency (LNT) accomplished a stressful task before listening to a comforting music piece. Negative affect (NA) scores and heart rate were measured at different phases. Results in a within-subjects analysis showed that the stressor and music listening could significantly alter the stressful feeling of both participant groups. Although the percentage changes in heart rate were similar between the groups, the changes of NA score which were measured after either the stressful task or the music listening session were consistently lower in the HNT group than the LNT group. The divergence revealed a loose connection between the subjective feelings and the bodily changes in the HNT group, which could be important for clinicians and practitioners to take into consideration in psychology when evaluating the stressful feelings for their clients with HNT.

The Effects of Music-listening on Human Concentration and Heart Rate?

There is a growing investigation into the effects of music listening on people’s memory abilities and emotional regulation. However, the effects of music-listening on people’s concentration remain confusing. This study investigates the impacts of music listening on people’s attention. Ten participants were recruited for the research. The subjects’ heart rates and reaction times were recorded using pre-existing apps when listening to different types of music (i.e., rap and soft music). No significant correlations between music’s effect on concentration and heart rate were found due to the limited sample size. Future work would examine more variables influencing the relationship between music listening and concentration. This experiment is designed to provide suggestions about music listening management and assist as a reference for people who prefer listening to music at work.

CHARACTERISTICS OF SUBJECTIVITY IN PERCEPTION OF ARTISTIC-AESTHETIC CONTENT IN MUSIC

Cultivating the culture of listening to music is an important factor in the artistic-aesthetic and moral development of students and is manifested by the characteristics of subjectivity. Music perception depends on the individual-psychological characteristics of a person, and the scale of musical perceptions formed by listening to music in individual or group conditions shows important differences. Individual-psychological characteristics of a person: abilities, interests, direction, type of temperament, willpower have subjective characteristics and play a decisive role in the effectiveness of music listening.

Short-term Effects of Listening to Music on Breathing and Emotional Affect in People Suffering From Chronic Lung Diseases

Chronic lung diseases (CLD) are often associated with abnormal, ineffective breathing patterns. Some studies already suggest that nonpharmacological interventions can have positive effects on symptoms related to CLD. However, in the current state of research there is a lack of studies investigating the influence of music listening on breathing rate and oxygen saturation in people affected by CLD. In the present study, we conducted two quasi-experiments to investigate the immediate effects of attentive music listening and music listening combined with a breathing instruction on breathing rate, oxygen saturation, and emotional affect in people affected by CLD and healthy controls. In total, we recruited 58 participants affected by CLD and healthy controls. Participants with CLD and healthy controls were either quasi-randomized to a music-oriented instruction (Experiment 1) or to a breathing-related instruction (Experiment 2). In both experiments we measured physiological measures and emotional affect during a baseline measurement (silence) and during one “relaxing” and one “activating” piece of music. We conducted 3 × 2 repeated measures analyses of variances with condition (baseline/relaxing music/activating music) on the first and group (with/without CLD) on the second factor for both experiments. The results of the experiments suggest that there is no immediate effect of music listening on breathing related outcomes irrespective of the instruction of participants. Moreover, we found some indication that the disease severity might influence the processing of the music. Future studies could investigate whether music listening as a long-term intervention can lead to more promising results in relation to improved breathing.

The effects of music listening on somatic symptoms and stress markers in the everyday life of women with somatic complaints and depression

Despite a growing body of literature documenting the health-beneficial effects of music, empirical research on the effects of music listening in individuals with psychosomatic disorders is scarce. Using an ambulatory assessment design, we tested whether music listening predicts changes in somatic symptoms, subjective, and biological stress levels, and examined potential mediating processes, in the everyday life of 58 women (M = 27.7 years) with somatic symptom disorder (SSD) and depressive disorders (DEP). Multilevel models revealed that music listening predicted lower subjective stress ratings (p ≤ 0.02) irrespective of mental health condition, which, in turn, predicted lower somatic symptoms (p ≤ 0.03). Moreover, specific music characteristics modulated somatic symptoms (p = 0.01) and autonomic activity (p = 0.03). These findings suggest that music listening might mitigate somatic symptoms predominantly via a reduction in subjective stress in women with SSD and DEP and further inform the development of targeted music interventions applicable in everyday life.

탈진 운동 후 회복 중 선호 및 비선호 음악 청취가 회복기 심박수, 혈중 젖산 및 타액 코티졸 농도에 미치는 영향

Purpose: After exercise, the effects of music listening during recovery have been previously evaluated. However, the effects of preferred and non-preferred music listening during recovery are not yet clear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of preferred and non-preferred music listening on recovery heart rate, blood lactate and saliva cortisol during recovery after exhaustion exercise.<BR> Method: The subjects of the study were 7 undergraduate students who were each exposed to three conditions at the interval of one week. Three conditions were control treatment (CT), preferred music treatment (PMT), non-preferred music treatment (NMT). Recovery heart rate, lactate, and saliva cortisol were measured to identify the physiological response by music listening after maximum exercise. Using the SPSS 21.0 program, the data was analyzed by using repeatedly measured ANOVA. The significant level of hypothesis verification was set up as α=.05.<BR> Results: The results of this study showed the following: 1) The recovery heart rate showed a significant difference in interaction effect (p<.05). As a result of the post-hoc analysis, the PMT was statistically significantly lower than that of CT at 5 minutes of the recovery period (p<.05). 2) Lactate showed a significant difference in interaction effect (p<.05). As a result of the post-hoc analysis, the PMT and NMT were statistically significantly lower than that of CT at 10 minutes of the recovery period p(<.05). Also, PMT was statistically significantly lower than that of CT at 20 minutes of the recovery period (p<.05). 3) Salivary cortisol did not show a significant difference (p>.05).<BR> Conclusion: In conclusion, as one of the ways to recover after exercise, listening to preferred music affects the autonomic nervous system, and helps relieve muscle tension to reduce heart rate, and remove lactic acid. Therefore, this study suggests that listening to preferred music during recovery has a positive effect. And it can be utilized as a part of the fatigue recovery method after exercise.

The Effect of Music Listening and Progressive Muscle Relaxation on The Stress Level of Novice Music Teachers during Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) in Malaysia

The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has contributed stress to many people around the world due to fear and anxiety. Other than health issues, it has threatened the overall economy and influenced a drastic change of lifestyle. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the effect of music listening and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on the stress level of novice music teachers in Malaysia by using a mixed-method research design, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Based on the pre-test questionnaire, a sample of 30 participants was divided equally into high-moderate stress and low-stress groups based on Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10). The quantitative results revealed a significant decrease in stress scores among the majority of the novice music teachers from high-moderate stress groups and insignificant differences in low-stress groups. The intervention was found to be effective as a stress-reduction therapy and benefits more on participants with higher stress levels. Ten interviewees were selected from the 30 participants to examine their career-stress-related challenges. The qualitative findings were divided into professional and non-professional challenges, included online teaching and learning, time management, financial issues, physiological issues, and emotional issues.

The Effect of Music Listening on Pain in Adults Undergoing Colonoscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

PurposeTo investigate the role of music listening in reducing pain in adults undergoing colonoscopy. DesignThis is a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effect of music in reducing pain in adults undergoing colonoscopy. MethodsWe searched CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and PubMed for RCTs that reported on the effects of music listening in reducing pain in adult patients undergoing colonoscopy from database inception to March 15, 2020, when the search was completed. Studies published in English with adult participants testing the efficacy of music during colonoscopy were eligible for inclusion. Studies reporting the results of combined nonpharmacological interventions were excluded. The methodological quality of each included RCT was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool for assessing the risk of bias. Two authors independently abstracted data and assessed risks of bias. FindingsSeven RCTs with a total of 622 adult participants fulfilled our inclusion criteria and were, therefore, included. A random-effects model estimated the summary effect of the 7 included studies as −1.83 ± 0.98, P = 0.06. ConclusionsAlthough our meta-analysis demonstrated a small treatment effect, this effect was clinically not statistically significant. Substantial heterogeneity among the included trials limits the certainty of our findings. Additional trials investigating the effects of listening to music on pain in adults undergoing colonoscopy are needed to generate further evidence to establish the analgesic effect of music in adults undergoing colonoscopy.

Performance Degradation During Sudden Hazardous Events: A Comparative Analysis of Use of a Phone and a Music Player During Driving

The present study attempts to statistically model and quantify the contribution of two sets of potential factors to accident risk: 1) real-time driving behavioral characteristics and 2) distraction conditions. The effects of phone and music player usage on reaction times and accident probabilities were modeled for two events: 1) a pedestrian crossing (started in peripheral vision) and 2) sudden braking (started in central vision) in an urban scenario. In total, 90 subjects drove for baseline and conversation conditions. In all, 70 and 78 of the 90 subjects drove for texting and music player tasks, respectively. Reaction times and accident probabilities were modeled with the help of generalized linear mixed model approach. The results showed that the reaction time increased by 42%, 113%, and 62% due to the presence of conversation, texting, and music player operations, respectively, for the pedestrian crossing event. Whereas, the increments were lower for the sudden braking event. Drivers with higher approach speed detected the events faster. The accident probability increased due to the texting tasks and by operating the player during driving. An increase in reaction time also led to higher risk for the pedestrian crossing event. For the sudden braking event, the effect of music-listening was not significant, but the accident risk increased if the driver approached the event at high speed. Overall, the results suggest that the algorithm for designing a collision warning system should consider the real-time driving characteristics based on event type and quantify the effects of distraction based on the type of distraction.

The Effects of Music Listening and Education on Reducing Pain from Total Joint Arthroplasty

&lt;p&gt;Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of pain education combined with music intervention on pain levels and the beliefs about and satisfaction with pain management. &lt;br /&gt;Methods: This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design involving an experimental group and control group. The sample size was 60; each group consisted of 30 participants. The control group received routine care, whereas the participants in the experimental group received pain education and a music intervention program. &lt;br /&gt;Results: No significant difference was observed in average pain levels between the two groups. Most patients in the experimental group considered the effects of music to be satisfactory in relieving pain. No difference was observed in beliefs about and satisfaction with pain management between the two groups. &lt;br /&gt;Conclusions: The results can be used as a reference in clinical practice for joint replacement patients who require pain and anxiety management.&lt;/p&gt;

Perceptions of Patients and Families who Received a Music Intervention During Mechanical Ventilation

The intensive care unit (ICU) is a technologically-driven environment where critically ill patients and their families have significant physical and emotional experiences. Mechanically ventilated (MV) patients can experience significant distress from anxiety and pain. Music listening is one integrative intervention that has been shown to reduce anxiety as well as other symptoms that contribute to distress in MV patients. This is a report of MV patient and family experiences from a larger research study whose aim was to evaluate levels of anxiety and sedative exposure with use of a patient-directed music intervention. Understanding perceptions of MV patients and families regarding the effectiveness of music listening will guide improvement of their care.

Psychophysiological reactions to music in male coronary patients and healthy controls

The study aimed to present a comparative account of psychophysiological responses to music-listening in male coronary patients and healthy controls. The stimulus material was a slow-paced, taped rāga Desi-Todi played on a flute. The participants listened to music for 30 minutes a day for 20 days. Pre- and post-treatment procedure was adopted for assessment on psychophysiological measures. The study supports the following conclusions: (1) music-listening produces significant decreases in the blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic) and heart rate of coronary patients but has no significant effect in healthy controls; (2) music-listening reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, enhances life satisfaction, optimism and hope, and makes life more meaningful in both coronary patients and healthy controls; (3) the effects of music listening, that is, reduction in negative affect, enhancement of positive affect, and decrease in blood pressure and heart rate, are more intense in coronary patients than healthy controls.

Mozart Piano Sonatas as a Nonpharmacological Adjunct to Facilitate Sedation Vacation in Critically Ill Patients

Critically ill patients frequently receive sedatives in order to treat agitation in the ICU; however, adverse outcomes are linked with long-term use. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effectiveness of music listening in facilitating sedation vacations. This study was conducted in neurotrauma ICUs where 50 adult critically ill patients were randomized into a music (n 1⁄4 25) or no music (n 1⁄4 25) group. The music group had a greater decline in heart rate (P 1⁄4 .042) but not in respiratory rate (P 1⁄4 .081) or systolic blood pressure (P 1⁄4 .653) when compared with the control group. There was no statistically significant change in sedation scores between groups (P 1⁄4 .567); however, patients in the music group were more likely to remain off sedation infusions (64% vs 52%). Music listening may be a cost-effective, nonpharmacological intervention to reduce agitation in critically ill patients.

The Effect of Music Listening, Personality, and Prior Knowledge on Mood and Work Performance of Systems Analysts

This research examined the effect of music use, personality and prior knowledge on mood and work performance of 62 Systems Analysts. Although the quality of the data modeling task did not appear to be affected by the experimental treatment of 10 minutes of music listening, the level of extraversion, modeling proficiency, and theoretical knowledge related to modeling showed significant effects. Nevertheless, the effects of music were demonstrated on several mood measures. The effect of music on negative and positive affect, along with their subscales, are presented. Finally, changes in the mood of participants who listened to the music are examined in the light of various demographic and personality variables.

A systematic review on the effectiveness of music listening in reducing depressive symptoms in adults.

The use of pharmacotherapy in the treatment of depressive symptoms has its disadvantages, therefore various complementary treatments have been sought and included to reduce depressive symptoms. The use of music as a healing intervention has been well documented throughout history. Even though there are many benefits to the use of music as a potential intervention, little is known about the efficacy of music listening in the mediation of depressive symptoms. The objective of this review was to determine the effectiveness of music listening in reducing depressive symptoms in adults. Types of participants This review included studies on adult men and women (aged 18 years and above) with depression or depressive symptoms.Types of intervention The review focused on studies that investigated music listening as an intervention for depressive symptoms.Types of outcomes The primary outcome measures examined were changes in depressive symptoms as quantified via validated depression scale scores.Types of studies Randomised controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, interrupted time series (ITSs) and controlled before and after designs were included. A literature search ranging from the 1989 to January 2010, was conducted using major electronic databases. A three-stage search strategy was utilized in the process of the search to ensure that all studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. The quality of the included studies was subjected to assessment by two independent reviewers using the critical appraisal checklists for experimental studies from the JBI-MAStARI (Joanna Briggs Institute-Meta Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument). Data were extracted from included papers using the standardized extraction tool from the JBI -MAStARI. Quantitative data were grouped together and combined into a meta-analysis for the assessment of the overall efficacy of an intervention were appropriate. Narrative formats were used when meta-analysis was not appropriate. From the overall results, the evidence offers some support that music listening over a period of time helps to reduce depressive symptoms in the adult population. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH: There is a need to conduct more studies, which replicate the designs used in the existing studies that met the inclusion criteria, on the level of efficacy of music listening on the reduction of depressive symptoms for a more accurate meta-analysis of the findings and reflect with greater accuracy the significant effects that music has on the level of depressive symptoms.

Effects of music listening on adult patients' pre-procedural state anxiety in hospital

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Anticipation of an invasive procedure in hospital is likely to provoke feelings of anxiety and stress in patients. An unfamiliar environment, loss of control, perceived or actual physical risk, dependence on strangers and separation from friends and family are all factors that can contribute to the development of such feelings. Recently, there has been considerable interest in the anxiolytic potential of music listening in a variety of clinical settings, yet thus far, little is known about the impact of music listening on the pre-procedural patient population. A systematic review of all literature to date was indicated to improve understanding of outcomes and impact of music listening on pre-procedural anxiety, thus helping nurses decide whether or not to incorporate music listening into practice and to highlight a need, or otherwise, for a related primary research agenda. The objective of this review was to determine the best available evidence on the effectiveness of music listening in reducing adult hospital patients' pre-procedural state anxiety. Types of studies This review included randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental research designs that examined the efficacy of music listening in reducing state anxiety among pre-procedural hospital patients published between January 1985 and February 2006. The search was limited to publications after 1985 to coincide with the increasing interest and use of complementary therapies within health care during the 1980s and 1990s. Types of participants Participants of interest to the review were adult day patients, ambulatory patients and inpatients who were about to undergo any type of clinical procedure. Types of intervention The review focused on studies that investigated pre-procedural music listening employed and prescribed as a potentially therapeutic activity. It excluded any other form of music therapy. Types of outcome measures The primary outcome measures examined were alterations in state anxiety and a variety of physiological variables such as blood pressure and respiration and heart rates. A search for published and unpublished literature between January 1985 and February 2006 was conducted using all major electronic databases. A three-step search strategy was devised which consisted of using high-precision MeSH terminology and keywords to ensure that all material relevant to the review was captured. CRITICAL APPRAISAL: The methodological quality of included studies was assessed by two reviewers, who appraised each study independently, using the standard Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools. Data were extracted from the studies that were identified as meeting the criteria for methodological quality using a data-extraction tool developed for the review. Studies were grouped by outcome measure and summarised using tabular and narrative formats. The review demonstrated that state anxiety is defined and measured using both psychological and physiological parameters. Music listening had a consistently positive and statistically significant effect on reducing psychological parameters of pre-procedural state anxiety. However, the results from the measurement of various pre-procedural physiological parameters failed to reveal any consistent positive changes in patients who had listened to music. This calls into question the adequacy of the theories in this area which link anxiety and the automated and central nervous systems and the effect that music listening may have on these processes and physiological responses. 1 In order to reduce anxiety, it is likely that patients will benefit psychologically from having the opportunity to listen to music in the immediate pre-procedural period. 2 Patients do not appear to experience any alteration in physiological status as a result of listening to music. 3 Further research is indicated in order to replicate existing studies, to strengthen the evidence to support such interventions and to establish intervention parameters. 4 Further research is needed analysing the physiological mechanisms by which music listening is believed to reduce state anxiety and the contribution of the automated and other nervous systems to this reduction.
