Abstract

The purpose of this study was to conduct a random-effects meta-analysis to measure the overall mean effect of music participation on social and emotional measures in participants across the lifespan. Results showed small to medium overall effects ( N = 18,564, k = 56, g = .23, p < .0001, 95% confident interval = [.16, .29]), indicating subjects who participated in music had better scores on social and emotional measures compared with those participating in other activities (such as sports) or no other activities (passive control group). Moderator analysis showed no statistical differences across seven moderators. Results did not differ by age of the participants, type of scale used (social or emotional), research design (cross-sectional or experimental), presence of an active or passive control group, if the study was located at a school site or elsewhere (such as a town community center), length of the intervention, or the type of musical activities experienced by the participants (singing, instrumental, or both). Overall, the results suggest that the social and emotional benefits of participating in musical activities transcend age and type of music making. The utility of music participation as a conduit of social or emotional growth appears to be empirically supported.

音乐参与对整个生命周期中社会和情感指标影响的荟萃分析

本研究的目的是进行随机效应荟萃分析，以衡量参与者在整个生命周期中参与音乐对社会和情感测量的总体平均影响。结果显示，总体效应为小到中等(N = 18,564, k = 56, g = .23, p <；0.0001, 95%置信区间=[。[16,29])，这表明参加音乐的受试者在社交和情感方面的得分高于参加其他活动（如体育运动）或不参加其他活动（被动对照组）的受试者。调节因子分析显示七个调节因子之间没有统计学差异。结果没有因参与者的年龄、使用的量表类型（社会或情感）、研究设计（横断面或实验）、主动或被动对照组的存在(如果研究位于学校场地或其他地方（如城镇社区中心）、干预的长度或参与者所经历的音乐活动类型（唱歌、乐器或两者）而有所不同。总的来说，研究结果表明，参加音乐活动对社会和情感的好处超越了年龄和音乐制作的类型。音乐参与作为社交或情感成长渠道的效用似乎得到了经验的支持。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
