Sad Songs

 I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the benefit of sad songs. As long as these songs don’t lead to rumination, they can be helpful to over all well-being. In fact, sad song lyrics can sometimes bring about pleasant feelings. This happens when a listener feels understood by an artist (Saarikallio & Erkkilä, 2007). As positive Psychology’s intention is not to ignore or diminish the negative or difficult emotions, the same is true with the suggestion that positive 13 psychology and lyrics should team up. There is a definite time and place for songs that speak to the pain and suffering of the human condition, as there is a time and place to put your hands up and act like you just don’t care. What I am arguing is that we could have fewer songs that contradict well-being and more songs that support well-being. Sad songs of heartbreak don’t counter well-being in my opinion. They are valuable for the person who doesn’t want to feel alone in their difficult time or for the person who cannot express what they are going through, they feel understood (Saarikallio & Erkkiliä, 2007). Many studies have found the influence music has on emotions. These studies are fairly well balanced, showing that music is a tool that can positively or negatively affect mood. Most of the studies on lyrics reflect the negative impact lyrics can have; for example, inducing rumination about negative messages (Zullow, 1991) and life destructive messages (Fedler et. al., 1982). This is a problem because as psychology has taken a disease model, I fear that the study of lyrics will do the same. Lyric are a tool just as music is, and when partnered with positive psychology, can make a positive impact on the hundreds and thousands of people who listen to lyricswoow

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 ...
