Music practice and participation for psychological well-being: A review of how music influences positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment

Abstract: In "Flourish," Martin Seligman maintained that the elements of well-being consist of "PERMA: positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment." Although the question of what constitutes human flourishing or psychological well-being has remained a topic of continued debate among scholars, it has recently been argued in the literature that a paradigmatic or prototypical case of human psychological well-being would largely manifest most or all of the aforementioned PERMA factors. Further, … Show more

“…It is also possible that it takes several years of choir singing to have an influence on QOL, and the choir singing sample included those who had been singing just a few years and those who had been singing more than half of their lives. According to previous studies (Clift et al, 2010; Kreutz, Bongard, Rohrmann, Hodapp, & Grebe, 2004; Croon, 2015), choir singers often report the importance of relaxation, strong emotional experiences, and the social aspects of singing, which was not examined in the current study. Future studies should consider improved methods for measuring well-being, including more rigorously designed clinical trials, a larger sample size, and examine possible dose-dependent effects of choir singing on well-being as well.…”

“…Meaning-making is thus increasingly understood to be based in such complex interactive soma-sensory processes where body and brain, world and mind, form an integrated evolving system. That music deeply affects such processes has been well documented in clinical literature and is, of course, evident in everyday experience (Bunt, 1994; DeNora, 2000; Berger and Turow, 2011; van der Schyff, 2013b; Croom, 2014). …”

“…Along these lines, a much deeper and more complex conception of what musicality means is emerging in Western scholarship–one that embraces its deep bio-social, ecological and transformative significance for human wellbeing beginning at evolutionary and ontogenetic levels (Cross, 2001, 2010, 2012; Mithen, 2005; van der Schyff, 2013a,b; Croom, 2014). Such research explores how, beginning in infancy, meaningful musical experiences emerge from and support our innate proclivity to seek out and enact meaningful worlds through adaptive embodied kinesthetic interactions with the physical and social-cultural environments (Johnson, 2007; Barbaras, 2010; Gapenne, 2010; Sheets-Johnstone, 2010; Krueger, 2013).…”

“…In work on singing and older people, theory building is necessary to advance the field (Clift et al 2008), and the PERMA model offers a potential framework that might explain the value of group singing to well-being (Croom 2015). In particular, the PERMA model may be useful for the interpretation of the participants' subjective perceptions of how their participation influences their personal well-being.…”
