“…The psychological effect of music refers to the effect music has on one's mood. Studies of the psychological effects of music often focused on the long-term behavior of people, and it was discovered that music can help overcome barriers to exercise (Hallett & Lamont, 2019). The psychophysical effect of music refers to the effect music has on one's perception of physical presence.…”

With the invention of technology devices such as wireless headphones and portable Bluetooth speakers, teenagers have gradually become heavily reliant on music during exercising/practicing. To find the underlying reason for this habit, an anonymous survey was sent out to 50 high school boarding students in America on 9th December 2022 regarding the purpose of listening to music during exercising/practicing, and their music preferences. Music supports both mental and physical aspects during athletic training. A slight correlation was found between music preferences specifically for the purpose of athletic training, and a slight correlation was found between preferences for genres of music and preference for each aspect of music.

“…Nine studies explicitly use the term "motivation" as an outcome variable, or discuss the motivating aspects of music even when their outcomes were either mood (for instance anhedonia) (Gold et al, 2013), fatigue (Fredenburg & Silverman, 2014) or adherence (Hallett & Lamont, 2019). In a study on upper limb function after stroke, Street et al (2018) states that high adherence may suggest that the intervention is motivating, possibly supporting high repetition of target movements.…”

Music is increasingly used in a wide array of settings, from clinical recovery to sports or well-being interventions. Motivation related to music is often considered as a possible working mechanism for music to facilitate these processes, however this has not previously been systematically evaluated. In the current systematic review, studies were considered that involved music (therapy) interventions, together with measures such as wanting to practice, liking the musical activities, or patient adherence to an intervention. The objective of this review was to examine whether music increases motivation in task performance and/or rehabilitation settings, and whether this is commonly related to better clinical or training outcomes. Seventy-nine studies met the inclusion criteria, the majority of which (85%) indicated an increased level of motivation with music as compared to without. Moreover, in those studies where motivation was increased, clinical or other outcomes were improved in most cases (90%). These results support the notion of motivation as an underlying mechanism of music-based interventions, but more robust evidence is needed to ascertain which mechanisms are crucial in increasing motivation from a behavioural, cognitive, and neurobiological point of view, as well as how motivational mechanisms relate to other factors of effectiveness in music-based paradigms.

“…The research project I use to illustrate how music psychology researchers might navigate the impact agenda draws on a trajectory of my own work on music preferences, conducted on my own as well as with many others. Over the last 15 years, I have been adopting a mainly qualitative approach to understand what music people like and what it means to them (e.g., Greasley et al, 2013; Lamont & Webb, 2010; Sanfilippo et al, 2020), what people’s most significant musical experiences are and why (Lamont, 2011), and how preferred music can help in applied contexts such as exercise (Hallett & Lamont, 2019).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced researchers around the globe in every discipline imaginable into a position, where they have to provide justification for the relevance of their work. This represents a sharp acceleration in an underlying trend toward demonstrating greater impact for research, as evidenced in the UK by assessments such as Pathways to Impact statements in grant applications and Research Excellence Framework (REF) Impact Case Studies. Music psychology is ideally positioned at the nexus of a number of different larger fields to afford strategic relevance of some kind, and some work is more obviously placed to do so, such as the many intervention projects harnessing instrumental benefits of music which are explicitly designed to improve people’s lives. However, I argue that the fundamental power of music (in and of itself as well as in other areas) provides everyone in the field with inherent potential impact. Using the case study of a recent project, I am leading on people’s favorite music choices, which turned into something of value to many of its participants almost overnight, I illustrate how serendipity can be developed into strategy. Drawing on insights from analysis of people’s accounts of their favorite music, I show how the fundamental premise that music matters to people gives music psychology research a head start in its quest for relevance, placing this in wider debates about the relevance of music, the arts, and culture to post-COVID-19 life.
