研究发现，听放松的音乐可以减少不同人群的状态焦虑和状态愤怒。尽管如此，监狱里放松音乐的影响还没有被研究过。这项研究随机抽样调查了48名罪犯，研究了放松音乐对状态焦虑和状态愤怒水平的影响。主要研究结果如下：(A)与对照组相比，治疗组的状态焦虑水平降低；(B)与对照组相比，治疗组的状态愤怒水平降低。根据其他研究显示，放松音乐对其他人群的焦虑和愤怒程度有积极影响，本文对这一发现进行了讨论。这项研究的最后部分为监狱管理人员提供了在各种监狱设施中实施放松音乐计划的实用建议。
Listening to relaxing music was found to reduce state anxiety and state anger among various populations. Nonetheless, the impact of relaxing music in prisons has not yet been studied. The current study examines the impact of relaxing music on levels of state anxiety and state anger among a random sample of 48 criminal prisoners. Main findings are as follows: (a) level of state anxiety decreased among the treatment group compared with the comparison group and (b) level of state anger decreased among the treatment group compared with the comparison group. Findings are discussed in light of other studies that have shown positive effects of exposure to relaxing music on levels of anxiety and anger among other populations. The final part of the study provides practical recommendations for prison administrators regarding implementation of programs of relaxing music in various prison facilities.
