American scientists at the University of Buffalo have found that listening to your favorite music alone can be an effective way to fight feelings and improve your emotional state. The study was published in a scientific journal of Psychology of Music (POM).
During the first attempt, the participants who heard their favorite music felt less loneliness than those who listened to music at all. During the second test, where the volunteers encountered the social isolation situation, their favorite music helped to alleviate negative emotions and strengthen their sense of affiliation.
Scientists have found that musical works are creating a feeling of communication with performers, help you feel a part of something larger and reminds of the most important moments of loved ones or your life.
The researchers noted that music along with other social voices (such as watching TV series) helps to meet the main need of humanity.
Thus, your favorite music is not only a source of pleasure, but also a powerful tool to fight loneliness and improve emotional self-esteem.
