为了研究音乐可以缓解心理压力的机制，进行了一项关于在诱发压力后听音乐的效果的研究。女性音乐教育的学生（N = 200）被随机分配到八组，通过心算测试后，经历了诱导压力。每个小组中的人都通过耳机听一段音乐，根据音乐的唤醒程度和效价以及熟悉程度进行分类。参与者在听音乐之前和之后评估他们的紧张和状态焦虑水平，以及他们对音乐，音乐偏好和熟悉程度的效价和唤醒水平。结果表明，唤醒水平、效价水平和音乐偏好程度对紧张和状态焦虑水平具有预测作用，音乐效价和唤醒水平对压力缓解的影响部分通过音乐偏好来中介。减轻压力的最重要因素是对音乐的喜爱程度，而不是对音乐的熟悉程度。我们的研究结果对使用音乐来减轻压力的个人和临床医生具有重要意义。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
In order to examine the mechanisms through which music might alleviate psychological stress, a study of the effects of music listening following induced stress was conducted. Female music education students (N = 200) were randomly assigned to eight groups, after experiencing induced stress via a mental arithmetic test. Individuals in each group listened through headphones to one piece of music classified in terms of the levels of arousal and valence of music, and familiarity. Participants rated their tension and state anxiety levels before and after music listening, as well as their levels of valence and arousal for music, music preference, and familiarity, after listening. The results revealed that the levels of arousal and valence, and the degree of music preference predicted tension and state anxiety levels, and the effects of music valence and arousal on stress reduction were partially mediated by music preference. The most important factor in reducing stress was the degree of liking for the music, but not the degree of familiarity with the music. Our findings have important implications for individuals, and clinicians, who use music to reduce stress. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
