“…But increases in analytical listening appeared to be training-, rather than age-related (Hannon & Trainer, 2007). Whilst this contrasts with Leipold and Loepthien's (2015) identification of age-related increases in 'attentive-analytical' listening after age 17, differences in study design make comparison difficult.…”

What do young people hear when listening to music? Despite substantial literature addressing children and teenagers’ use and experience of music, little research has focused on their holistic (both intra- and extra-musical) understanding. This article reports on the third stage of a mixed-method nationwide UK enquiry concerning young people’s subjective experiences of music. This stage focused on meanings 10- to 18-year-olds attach to music. Participants from varied socio-demographic and music backgrounds ( N = 84) listened to 20 short musical extracts through headphones, to which they gave free written responses. Their reports highlight shared cultural references, and the prevalence of perceived meanings indirectly related to or detached from the original musical source. Individual differences in age and training mediated musical meaning-making: 10- to 12-year-olds were most likely to report induced affect, employ self-reference (including self-in-scenario visualisations), and demonstrate vicarious experience through music. Increases in analytical listening, apparent from c. 15 years of age were primarily training-related. Participants aged 16 and above tended towards evaluative, detached modes of reporting, regardless of musical training level. Findings demonstrate that holistic understanding of music is subject to significant flux across adolescence.

“…A well-established body of literature documents the role of music in youth development (McFerran, 2011;ter Bogt et al, 2012;Miranda, 2013). There is evidence showing that musical behaviors foster the adolescent's ability to cope with the challenges that matter the most during this developmental stage: identity definition (North and Hargreaves, 1999;North et al, 2000;Hense and McFerran, 2017), connection with peers (Selfhout et al, 2009;Papinczak et al, 2015;ter Bogt et al, 2017), affect regulation (Saarikallio and Erkkilä, 2007;McFerran and Saarikallio, 2014;Leipold and Loepthien, 2015), and shaping of agency (Laiho, 2004;Gold et al, 2011). It has been argued that music occupies such an important place in adolescents' lives precisely because of the developmental functions it serves (Schwartz and Fouts, 2003;Laiho, 2004;Miranda, 2013).…”

Music Listening for Supporting Adolescents’ Sense of Agency in Daily Life

Sense of agency refers to the ability to influence one's functioning and environment, relating to self-efficacy, and wellbeing. In youth, agency may be challenged by external demands or redefinition of self-image. Music, having heightened relevance for the young, has been argued to provide feelings of self-agency for them. Yet, there is little empirical research on how music impacts adolescents' daily sense of agency. The current study investigated whether music listening influences adolescents' perceived agency in everyday life and which contextual determinants would explain such an influence. Participants were 44 adolescents (48% female, 36% with training in music, mean age 14), recruited through local schools. The mobile Experience Sampling app MuPsych was used to collect brief self-reports of personal music listening experiences during daily life. This method assessed the change in the listener's perceived control over both their emotional states (internal agency), and their external environment (external agency), over 5 min of music listening. Also measured were changes in mood states, and contextual variables (social situation, concurrent activity, and reason for listening). The impact of music on the sense of agency was analyzed using multilevel structural equation modeling. There was no general increase of agency across all music episodes, but agency fluctuations were determined by specific contextual factors. External agency change was predicted negatively by changing environments, while internal agency change was predicted by initial mood and various reasons for listening, including for enjoyment, coping, and enhancing current mood state. Our findings confirmed the plasticity and situational embeddedness of the sense of agency. Music indeed can support agency, but the impact is dependent on a range of situational factors. Sense of agency can be seen as a health resource and significant part of youth development, and current findings provide new insight into when and by which conditions such affordance is likely to be employed.

Adolescents actively use music for affect regulation. In this chapter, affect is considered as a broad umbrella term containing moods, emotions, motivational impulses, and energy levels. Theoretical and empirical research has recently been unveiling the components involved in affect self-regulation, such as the psychological functions of music listening, affective goals, regulation strategies, and musical mechanisms. The study of these components and of their interactions has resulted in a better understanding of the dynamics between music engagement, wellbeing, and psychological development among adolescents. The purpose of this chapter is to present a conceptual model of musical affect self-regulation. The core components of the model are regulatory strategies and musical mechanisms, which interact across the dimensions of cognition, feelings, and bodily reactions.
