| Abstract: | Music therapy can be an effective treatment that prevents stress from contributing to the etiology of disease. For this study, the participants, college students enrolled in an annual Alternative Nutrition class at California State University, Los Angeles, were instructed to select a song to present during class. After listening to each song selection, participants provided written feedback based on a 9-question survey. Self-perceived stress was measured using a Likert scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest level of stress. Microsoft® Excel 2007 Data Analysis, was used to calculate t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Meansat a 5% significance level (a <0.05), and Descriptive Statistics to determine standard deviation with a confidence level for mean at 95%. Results across all four years were statistically significant, demonstrating overall stress reduction in the study sample. The authors recognize that the study sample was derived from a population known to be particularly vulnerable to stress. However, beyond the college population, listening to music can benefit anyone subject to the effects of stress. |
