越来越多的证据表明，参加集体演唱会有各种各样的好处。合唱要求参与者在多元和紧急的背景下同时进行音乐对话，通过对人类声音集体力量中表现出来的（音乐）意义的自反性协商，创造一种连贯的文化表达。因此，合唱可以被视为一种有效的“健康公众”形式，创造一个“理想”的社区，参与者可以随后动员起来，作为日常生活的积极资源。一组歌手（n=78）谁参加了户外歌唱项目的经验进行了收集和分析，使用三层的研究设计，包括：分布式数据生成和解释，考虑对其他歌唱团体的比较数据（n=88）;焦点小组研讨会（n=11）;非结构化的采访（n=2）。这项研究证实了预期的感知社会结合的效果组唱歌，突出的启示，人际协调和附件一起强大的个人感觉“振奋”。这项研究提出了一个新的角度对集体歌唱，强调参与者的经验作为一种手段，理解音乐作为一个整体和复杂的适应系统的重要性。它验证了先前研究中关于集体歌唱的发现，特别是在面对环境和其他情境影响时，社会联系效应的稳定性是一个变化较小的特征，同时也是心理健康恢复的能力。它建立了一个主观的社会文化和音乐的理解组唱歌，通过扩大这些发现集中个人经验的重要性，并意识到这种经验作为描述性和反思性的自我意识。参与者描述和讨论他们的集体歌唱经验及其好处的方式表明，许多音乐，神经生物学和心理社会机制之间存在复杂的相互依赖关系，可以独立客观地进行分析。一个新兴的理论是，至少有一部分集体歌唱的潜力是作为一种资源，人们可以排练和执行“健康”的关系，进一步强调其作为健康公众资源的潜力。
A growing body of evidence points to a wide range of benefits arising from participation in group singing. Group singing requires participants to engage with each other in a simultaneous musical dialogue in a pluralistic and emergent context, creating a coherent cultural expression through the reflexive negotiation of (musical) meaning manifest in the collective power of the human voice. As such, group singing might be taken-both literally and figuratively-as a potent form of 'healthy public', creating an 'ideal' community, which participants can subsequently mobilise as a positive resource for everyday life. The experiences of a group of singers (n=78) who had participated in an outdoor singing project were collected and analysed using a three-layer research design consisting of: distributed data generation and interpretation, considered against comparative data from other singing groups (n=88); a focus group workshop (n=11); an unstructured interview (n=2). The study confirmed an expected perception of the social bonding effect of group singing, highlighting affordances for interpersonal attunement and attachment alongside a powerful individual sense of feeling 'uplifted'. This study presents a novel perspective on group singing, highlighting the importance of participant experience as a means of understanding music as a holistic and complex adaptive system. It validates findings about group singing from previous studies-in particular the stability of the social bonding effect as a less variant characteristic in the face of environmental and other situational influences, alongside its capacity for mental health recovery. It establishes a subjective sociocultural and musical understanding of group singing, by expanding on these findings to centralise the importance of individual experience, and the consciousness of that experience as descriptive and reflective self-awareness. The ways in which participants describe and discuss their experiences of group singing and its benefits points to a complex interdependence between a number of musical, neurobiological and psychosocial mechanisms, which might be independently and objectively analysed. An emerging theory is that at least some of the potency of group singing is as a resource where people can rehearse and perform 'healthy' relationships, further emphasising its potential as a resource for healthy publics.
