“…During the beginning stages of the pandemic, musicians in various studies expressed how lockdowns limited their engagement in music; some were even reluctant to take part in music at home alone ( Spiro et al, 2021 ). Many individuals “eulogized” their experience of music-making in person and professionally early in the pandemic; they had lost a source of income as well as the ability to rehearse and perform with their colleagues, without an anticipated return to their previous activities ( Messick, 2021 ; Spiro et al, 2021 ; Youngblood et al, 2021 ). This temporary loss of music-making may be conceptualized by occupational therapists and scientists as occupational disruption.…”

Background. Singing in choirs, which previous research has identified as supporting wellbeing, has been restricted and altered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to investigate and describe the experience of music-making for musicians in professional and semi-professional choirs in Canada 18–22 months into the COVID-19 pandemic. Method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 participants and analyzed using interpretive description. Findings. Four themes: (1) increased negative feelings associated with the music-making experience due to COVID-19 restrictions, (2) isolation and disconnection, (3) recognizing how music-making aids in their own mental health, the participants used music-making to help their communities cope with the pandemic, and (4) adapting in response to COVID-19 reinforced music-making's importance. Implications. Understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic has altered Canadian choral musicians’ experience of music-making can help occupational therapists in supporting choral musicians return to this meaningful occupation.

“…These special transferable qualities can also play a role in how the destruction or loss of an item is perceived (Bloom et al, 2010). The loss of the sacred in the context of metal music culture has not been previously explored, however, parallels can be drawn from the devastating psychological losses felt by touring metal musicians following the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in the temporary end of concert tours and live performances globally, effectively ending a fundamental part of their lifestyle that was crucial for mood maintenance and meaning (Messick, 2021).…”

The psychological functions of the nontheistic sacred in a secular context (metal music culture) were examined for their consistency with previous studies of the sacred in religious contexts using two studies. The first experiment examined music as a form of nontheistic sacred through a comparison of death metal fans (n=89) listening to death metal or hard rock. The second experiment examined how some metal cultural artefacts were perceived as sacred by metal fans (n=52), and how their loss or defilement was experienced when compared to non-sacred artefacts. The first experiment found that the death metal music was perceived as more sacred than hard rock music to the metal community, it promoted higher levels of positive affect, and it was associated with significantly higher levels of prosocial behavioural intentions, social relatedness, mood maintenance, and self-awareness, with no differences in empathy and negative affect. The second experiment found that acts of desecration of sacred items, when compared to non-sacred items, led to a higher state of anger and the loss of the items led to significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms and anxiety. The two experiments present evidence that the nontheistic sacred is experienced within the secular context of metal music in terms of functions and effects consistent with previous literature exploring the sacred in religious contexts.

“…Past research (Shevlin et al, 2020;Huang and Zhao, 2020;Aribogan and Aydin-Ozturk, 2021;Bayhan and Bozkurt, 2021;Şentürk and Bozkurt, 2021;Şahin and Nerse, 2021;Caki, Krupić, and Corr, 2021) shows that psycho-social problems and concern about the future increase in society. In particular, the concerns of the poor, women and disadvantaged groups have increased more (Stantcheva, 2022;Gönç-Şavran and Suğur, 2021;Messick, 2021). During the pandemic, the way people live and work has changed; The level of trust of the society has been seriously shaken.…”

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between people’s existential and economic concerns and their trust in the government during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, it is aimed to obtain in-depth information about the direction of government-individual relations during the pandemic, how the policies regarding trust in the government during and after the pandemic are perceived, the relationship between the duties and responsibilities assigned to the government and the existential and economic concerns of individuals. In line with these purposes, the method of the study was determined as the explanatory sequential mixed method. In this framework, firstly, quantitative data collection and analysis process was carried out, and qualitative research was carried out with the results obtained from there. According to quantitative findings; As the trust in the government and its institutions increases, there is a regression in the existential concerns of individuals. On the other hand, it has been determined that there is no relationship between gender and trust in the government, but existential concerns are related; there is a significant difference between trust in the government and existential concerns according to work-occupational status; trust in the government and existential concerns decrease as age increases; as religious commitment increases, existential concerns decrease, while trust in the government increases. In addition, it has been observed that there is a significant relationship between the economic concerns of individuals and their trust in the government and their existential concerns. It was understood that the empirical and descriptive analysis results were also supported by the qualitative findings, and it was determined that they largely overlapped with the relevant literature.
