现在有大量文献研究了听音乐对消极情绪的影响。然而，很少有研究将音乐作为改善情绪的有效成分，并将音乐与旨在减少需求效应的安慰剂条件进行比较。在本研究中，60名来自当地社区的成年参与者被随机分配到四个条件之一：听音乐+艺术制作（绘画），听音乐+艺术分类，没有音乐+艺术制作，或没有音乐+艺术分类。通过给所有四个组的参与者一个“艺术”任务，我们打算等同于改进的期望，从而更好地排除需求效应作为组差异的来源。在10分钟干预期前后收集了负性情绪的自我报告措施。与两种非音乐条件相比，两种音乐聆听条件下的参与者表现出更大的情绪增强。然而，工艺条件（生产与分选）没有显著影响。这些结果证明，即使在各组之间对改善的期望是相等的，听音乐在增强情绪方面也具有特定的功效。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc.

A large literature now exists to examine the effects of music listening on negative mood. However, few studies both isolate music as the active ingredient in mood improvement and compare music to a placebo condition designed to reduce demand effects. In the present study, 60 adult participants recruited from the local community were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: music listening + art production (drawing), music listening +art sorting, no music + art production, or no music + art sorting. By giving participants in all four groups an "arts" task, we intended to equate expectations of improvement and thereby better rule out demand effects as a source of group differences. Self-report measures of negative mood were collected before and after the 10 min intervention period. Participants in the two music listening conditions showed greater mood enhancement compared to the two non-music conditions. However, there were no significant effects of the art conditions (production vs. sorting). These results document that music listening has specific efficacy in enhancing mood even when expectations of improvement are equated across groups. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
