“…These results provide supportive evidence and rationale for improving subjective well-being through music therapy and music listening activities [44]. In addition, this suggests that music listening can be effective for individuals to experience feelings of happiness even if related activities are undertaken in a non-therapeutic environment and do not involve music therapy.…”

Background This study investigated the relationship between the enjoyment of music listening and subjective well-being among Chinese adults during the COVID-19 Pandemic, and the mediation effect of emotionally adaptive functions of music listening and of stress regulation of music listening in the aforementioned relationship. Methods The participants were 277 male and female Chinese adults aged 18–57 years. The mediating effects were analyzed using PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 4. Results The results revealed that the enjoyment of music listening was positively correlated with the emotionally adaptive functions of music listening, stress regulation of music listening, and subjective well-being. Additionally, the emotionally adaptive functions and stress regulation of music listening were positively correlated with subjective well-being. The emotionally adaptive functions of music listening completely mediated the association between enjoyment of music listening and subjective well-being during the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, the stress regulation of music listening did not mediate this relationship. Conclusion These findings suggest that music listening can enhance the subjective well-being of Chinese adults through emotionally adaptive functions in stressful situations.

While the positive effects of listening to music on mental health and well-being have been extensively studied, the effects of enjoying playing musical instruments have rarely been examined. Many tools have been developed to measure music listening; however, tools to measure the enjoyment of playing instruments have not yet been developed. This study aimed to develop and validate a tool to measure such enjoyment and to examine its relationship with subjective well-being and happiness. Primary information about the aforementioned enjoyment were collected from fourteen Chinese laypersons, five music graduates, and five music teachers using open-ended questions. Item and exploratory factor analyses were conducted using data from 361 Chinese adults, and the reliability and validity of the scale and the relationships between the variables were analyzed using data from 277 Chinese adults. The results revealed that the three-factor model for the enjoyment of playing instruments demonstrated excellent model fit, and satisfactory internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and criterion-related validity were demonstrated for the learning/social bonds, achievement/pride, and cognitive refreshment/stimulation subscales. All subscales of enjoyment were positively correlated with subjective well-being and happiness. This study highlights the usefulness of the Enjoyment of Playing Instruments Scale (EPIS) as a measure for research, educational, and clinical use, providing a rationale for using instrument playing as a therapeutic approach to promote subjective well-being.
