Humanities and Positive Psychology

 Once thought of as separate fields that will not benefit from interaction, the humanities have played a role in health and science for a while now. Fields like art therapy, music therapy, and narrative medicine have all contributed to relieving, and in some cases healing, mental and physical illness. De Button and Armstrong’s book Art As Therapy (2013) discusses seven ways in which art can be used to enhance well-being by guiding participants of art to “become better versions of themselves” through; remembering, hope, sorrow, rebalancing, self-understanding, growth, and appreciation (2013). The ability for literature to enhance well-being is not exclusive to intake of outside sources. Robert Rebele (2010) points out that three of the most successful positive interventions include writing for the self. Delivering a gratitude letter, writing down three good things that happened each day, and writing about a time when you were your best self all lead to enhanced well being (Rebele, 2010.) While it could be suggested that it is the topic at hand that enhances well-being, it is undeniable that writing can play a role. The research of expressive writing has shown that basic writing for just 15 minutes a day can produce significant improvement in wellbeing by supporting and enhancing motivation, self-efficacy, flow, and self-regulation (Pennebaker & Seagal, 1999). Music of lyricswoow can be used in similar ways. As early as 4000 BC, there have been documented cases of the social, mental, and physical effects of music (MacDonald et al., 2012.) Emotional response to music – both positive and negative- affects a large enough portion of the population that it might be harnessed as a public health intervention (Västfjäll et al., 2012.) Science and music have long been studied together in music therapy in both qualitative and quantitative studies. The benefits of music therapy have been explored and studied since the early twentieth

Limitations and Future Direction

 The current study had some potential limitations that could be affected Results. One possible limitation was the use of novel stimuli. While it was a positive That it removed the confusion from the previous associations, but it can also be a negation Because the participants must have thought that the song was unusual and it has been omitted. for the For example, in terms that did not include melodic content and background music People, go along logically (like professional lyrics with heavy metal background music) It may seem ridiculous or strange, which may affect them Song. Another restriction of the current study is the use of self-report measures. Individual traits were aggression, state aggression, and self-awareness measures of influence. Which naturally come with bias (such as desired bias). In the end, there was a limit Sample scope. This pattern was limited to college students, which can be overwhelming Affect the results. In particular, they may not have taken the study...

MIND THE MELODY

  What is music and why do people think it is important for learning? While people of every culture around the world make something that could be called music, not so many of them give it a name or think of it as separate from other activities, like dance or storytelling [ 1 ]. Because of this, we can only define music in a general way, as a form of communication through sound. Unlike speech, however, music is not generally considered   semantic Relating to meaning in language or logic. . This means that music does not use words to explain things. Think how difficult it would be to say something relatively simple like, “your left shoe is untied,” using only  melody A sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying.  and  rhythm A strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound. . At the same time, music can convey profound emotions that would be difficult to describe in words. In addition to music being an art form, any form of communication is part...

Abstract

 There was also a range of Rolls-Royce and psychological, psychological, and physical variations. Twenty-five participants underwent three to six minutes of cycling trials at a power output, with 75% of their maximum heart rate according to the terms of the music with the lyrics. No music, no music control. Cycling cadence, heart rate, and comprehension attempts were recorded at 2-minute intervals during each trial. Both positive and negative effects were assessed before and after each test. Locals cycled to a high cadence towards the end of cycling trials with music. Significant impressions were found for perceived hard work and heart rate, both of which increased from at least 2 to at least 6, and for this reason: the positive influence increased and the negative effect preceded the attachment. Less until the test. Participants padded faster in both musical situations (with and without lyricswoow ) while there was no difference in hard work and heart rate. The inclusion of songs ...
