The Effects of Music on Psychological Well-Being

Abstract

Due to many reasons, such as increased pressure, a lot of people are now facing severe mental problems. In this case, music was thought of as one of the possible mitigation measures for people’s Psychological Well-Being (PWB). This review will discuss the beneficial effects of music on PWB. The factors relevant to the effects of music on PWB are too numerous to consider, but most of the significant ones will be introduced in this review. Additionally, only considering the impact of music on PWB may not be sufficient, because other aspects like self-awareness also play a role. It is crucial to the effectiveness with which music might affect listeners' PWB. A lot of findings will be presented in this paper, they are unquestionably good, but there are still far too many perspectives and factors to consider when looking at this topic because it is such a large field. To eventually arrive at a comprehensive conclusion, there are still many factors to take into account and many perspectives awaiting additional research and experimentation, such as the impacts the surrounding environment has on how effective music can be on PWB.
