在过去的二十年里，许多音乐体验已经成为数字技术的媒介，包括在线音乐的传播，新内容的生成和虚拟音乐体验的参与。然而，虚拟音乐体验是否会导致不同的社会存在或情绪调节策略（ERS）的差异使用经验相比，现场音乐体验仍然没有研究。我们比较了虚拟合唱团（VC）中1，158名歌手的经验与现场合唱团中1，158名歌手的经验，使用基于一系列人口统计学，社会和音乐因素的倾向评分匹配。VC中的参与者比现场合唱团中的参与者报告了更大的社会存在感[t（1157）=-19.85，p < 0.002]。他们也较少使用总体ERS [t（1157）= 3.10，p = 0.002]、回避策略[t（1157）= 4.51，p < 0.001]和接近策略[t（1157）= 3.34，p < 0.001]。然而，他们更多地使用自我发展策略[t（1157）=-3.11，p = 0.002]。社会存在与所有ERS的更多使用相关。这项研究表明，虽然在合唱团的社会存在感并没有减少参与风险投资相比，现场合唱团，有一个降低使用ERS时，参与风险投资。然而，由于ERS的使用差异相对较小，虚拟音乐体验在支持那些无法参与现场体验的人（如社交孤立的人）方面仍然可以发挥作用。
Over the past two decades, many musical experiences have become mediated by digital technology, including the distribution of music online, the generation of new content and participation in virtual musical experiences. However, whether virtual musical experiences lead to different experiences of social presence or differential use of emotion regulation strategies (ERSs) compared to live musical experiences remains un-researched. We compared the experiences of 1,158 singers in a virtual choir (VC) with the experiences of 1,158 singers from a live choir using propensity score matching based on a range of demographic, social and musical factors. Participants in VCs reported a slightly greater feeling of social presence than participants in live choirs [t(1157) = -19.85, p < 0.002]. They also made less use of overall ERSs [t(1157) = 3.10, p = 0.002], avoidance strategies [t(1157) = 4.51, p < 0.001], and approach strategies [t(1157) = 3.34, p < 0.001]. However, they made greater use of self-development strategies [t(1157) = -3.11, p = 0.002]. Social presence was associated with greater use of all ERSs. This study showed that although a sense of social presence in a choir is not reduced by engagement in VCs compared to live choirs, there is a lowered use of ERSs when engaging in VCs. However, as the difference in use of ERSs is relatively modest, virtual musical experiences may still have a role to play in supporting those who cannot engage in live experiences such as people who are socially isolated.
