“…Overall, qualitative research has been synthesised into quantitative scales capable of measuring how music is used to regulate mood and in turn this model and its approach form the basis for the music regulatory part of this study. To date, research into the use of music as a mood regulator has largely focused on music mood regulation during adolescence ( Saarikallio and Erkkilä, 2007 ; Miranda and Claes, 2009 ) and in response to diagnosed health issues ( Silverman, 2020 ). Similar effects have also been observed in adult populations insofar as adult’s emotional experiences can too be intensified by music listening ( Karreman et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Therefore, from the strategies laid out in the coping psychology literature, it may seem that those using more emotion-focused coping strategies are more likely to benefit and therefore use music as a mood regulator in response to stress. It has also been theorised, however, that negative or stressful life events can lead otherwise emotionally stable individuals to seek refuge in recurrent coping by music listening ( Miranda et al, 2010 ), and the music can indeed lead to unhealthy coping habits ( Silverman, 2020 ). This may be reflected in individuals effected by lockdown most through abrupt changes, such as being left unemployed or placed on furloughed status.…”

“…Consequently, it is worth considering whether existing scales are applicable to the specified context of this study. Silverman (2020) found that when applying the Brief COPE scale to the Brief MMR scale, music could be used as a coping strategy to enhance wellbeing. Finding that music mood regulatory strategies were associated with subsequent coping strategies, Silverman (2020) argues that music-based affect regulation may be orientated to augment the likelihood of recovery in adults with mental health conditions.…”

Whilst interesting, the orientation of this study differs from ours insofar as music’s use was expressed as an independent variable, with coping strategies acting as dependent variables.…”

Music in Mood Regulation and Coping Orientations in Response to COVID-19 Lockdown Measures Within the United Kingdom

Music is a tool used in daily life in order to mitigate negative and enhance positive emotions. Listeners may orientate their engagement with music around its ability to facilitate particular emotional responses and to subsequently regulate mood. Existing scales have aimed to gauge both individual coping orientations in response to stress, as well as individual use of music for the purposes of mood regulation. This study utilised pre-validated scales through an online survey (N = 233) in order to measure whether music’s use in mood regulation is influenced by coping orientations and/or demographic variables in response to the lockdown measures imposed in the United Kingdom, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst factor analyses show that the existing theoretical structure of the COPE model has indicated a poor fit for clustered coping orientations, a subsequent five-factor structure was determined for coping orientations in response to lockdown. Analyses include observations that positive reframing and active coping (Positive Outlook) were strong predictors of music use in mood regulation amongst listener’s coping strategies, as was Substance Use. Higher Age indicated having a negative effect on music’s use in mood regulation, whilst factors such as gender were not seen to be significant in relation to the use of music in mood regulation within this context. These results provide insight into how individuals have engaged with music orientated coping strategies in response to a unique stressor.

“…In addition, recent studies have revealed that music enhances social communication, for example, in the sharing of one's preferred types of music 5,6 as well in terms of individual listening 7 . Therefore, studies of music preference are now applied to enhance social communication 8,9 as well as to regulate individual moods or states 10,11 . Furthermore, clarifying how music preference is determined should lead to an improved understanding of human diversity, that is, to an understanding of the differences and commonalities among humans.…”

Humans have long listened to music. However, it is still unclear why people prefer some types of music over others. To investigate how music preference is determined, previous studies have focused on preferred music tempo since tempo can essentially determine music preference. Such studies have reported that external music components as well as internal motor tempo determine tempo preference. Moreover, it has been suggested that familiarity with a piece of music affects the impact of external music components on tempo preference. However, the question of how the contributions of the internal motor tempo and external music components for tempo preference simultaneously change depending on familiarity has not been investigated. Moreover, the issue of which external music components contribute to tempo preference depending on familiarity has not been clarified. Here, we investigate how the preference for music tempo is determined by the internal motor tempo and external music components depending on familiarity with a piece of music. Twenty-three participants adjusted music tempos according to their preferences and rated their music familiarity. In addition, they engaged in finger tapping at their preferred tempo. Music components, such as typically performed tempo or the number of notes, were also analysed. Analysis of the collected data with multiple linear regressions showed that the preferred tapping tempo contributed to the preferred music tempo regardless of familiarity, whereas the contributions of some of the music components changed depending on familiarity. The typically performed tempo that might relate to the memory of a piece of music contributed to the estimation of the preferred music tempo for familiar music, and the number of notes or the pitch that might relate to perceived tempo contributed to the estimation of unfamiliar music. These results suggested that internal motor tempo is constantly involved in tempo preference regardless of music familiarity, whereas the contribution of external music components varies depending on whether a piece of music has been memorized.
