My research question is what are the psychological effects of music on mood and behavior?
This topic interests me because I love listening to music it keeps me going and gives me motivation to get things done. I listen to music everyday and I don’t think I would be able to function without music. I also know that there is a lot information about the effects of music on mind and behavior.
From my knowledge I already know that music can be used to treat mental health conditions such as, depression, anxiety, and ptsd. It can help motivation and improve behavior amongst people. It is also therapeutic and can improve memory. Music can change a persons heart rate and blood pressure due to psychological reactions. Music can help improve your mood of being sad or feeling down to happy and active just by its beats and lyrics.
Some points that I plan to explore and find out more is how does listening to different types of music affect our feelings and how we behave around others? Another thing I want to know more about is in what ways can music help improve our motivation and focus while working or studying?
