Joelle Foster: An investigation into music engagement in adults in the UK and its relationship with general levels of nostalgia and mental well-being
Description
Joelle Foster BSc Psychology joins us to discuss her research project titled "An investigation into music engagement in adults in the UK and its relationship with general levels of nostalgia and mental well-being".
Research on music listening is vast in showing the mental health benefits of such a practice. Nostalgia has also shown great effect in eliciting positive emotions. Emerging research looks at music-evoked nostalgia but not much research has been conducted on music composers in this area. This research project investigated this population with regards to general levels of nostalgia and well-being, important for tackling SDG3 'Good Health and Well-being'.
