Effects of Music on Stress Reduction

当受试者在实验诱发的精神压力条件下听音乐时，为了考察听音乐对心理和身体状态的影响，进行了两个实验。这些实验表明，与不听音乐的控制条件相比，听音乐能迅速减轻心理压力。听音乐对生理压力的影响与对心理压力的影响相似，因为它不断地降低这两方面的压力水平。

Two experiments were conducted in order to examine the effect of music listening on mental and physical states, when the music is listened to by a subject under a condition involving experimentally induced mental stress. These experiments showed that listening to music reduced the mental stress promptly in comparison with non-music control condition. Music listening had a similar effect on physiological stresses as on psychological stresses, in regards that it reduced constantly the levels of these two sides of stresses.
