Music is a common resource for the regulation of emotions, moods, and stress. This study aimed at determining the individual and relative impact on stress reduction of two of the main factors involved in musical affect regulation: regulation strategies and music itself. The current study took place in an experimental setting and followed a factorial within-subjects design. First, the participants (n = 34) filled in an online survey where they identified their self-perceived “adequate”/“inadequate” music examples for the purpose of reducing stress and self-perceived “adequate”/“inadequate” strategies for the same purpose. In the lab they went through a stress induction procedure and then were instructed to calm down. They did so by listening to their “adequate”/“inadequate” music and employing the “adequate”/“inadequate” strategy, depending on the experimental condition. The primary outcome measure was self-reported tension, complemented by self-reported energy and valence, skin conductance levels (SCL), startle blink amplitudes, and risk aversion. The results showed that both music and strategy had a strong significant effect on the self-reported tension. Additionally, music had strong significant effects on energy, valence, SCL, and risk aversion. Pairwise comparisons revealed that the condition “adequate strategy-adequate music” was consistently more beneficial for stress reduction than condition “inadequate strategy-inadequate music”. However, it did not outperform all the other conditions, nor did the “inadequate strategy-inadequate music” underperform all the others. Moreover, close inspection of the results showed a larger impact of music on the short-term outcomes of self-regulation in comparison to strategy. These findings suggest that successful affective regulation depends on the adequacy of the chosen strategies and music, but that music is more determinant for the affective outcomes in the short term. The results are discussed considering previous research and the implications for the understanding of musical affect regulation are explored.

Investigating the role of elements of natural environment recreated in the clinical setting for stress reduction
Galimova, Gulnara (2018)It has been shown in environmental psychology research that a natural environment can promote stress reduction which could be used for relaxation purposes in music therapy. However, therapy is normally conducted in clinical ... -
Music-listening as an intervention for chronic pain relief : a case study

Where mind and music meet : affect self-regulation through music
Baltazar, Margarida (University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The present dissertation focused on musical affect regulation, i.e. on the use of music to self-regulate affective states such as emotions, moods, and energy levels. In publication I, relevant findings from previous ... -
Autonomic nervous system responses during a relationship enrichment intervention
Karolaakso, Tino; Lampinen, Elina (2014)Vaikka ihmisten fysiologia on ollut tutkijoiden kiinnostuksen kohteena psykologiassa jo pitkään, psykofysiologisia reaktioita pariterapiassa ei ole vielä tutkittu. Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkittiin neljää pariskuntaa ...
