Abstract
The present study examines the effects of listening to music selected by participants or relaxing music chosen by researchers before modified TSST (Trier Social Stress Test) on: 1) TSST tasks, 2) TSST-induced stress responses, and 3) one attention task with both music and TSST before it. Seventy six college students were randomly assigned to one of six groups: listening to relaxing music chosen by researchers, previously selected music by students, or silence, any of them with or without TSST. Results showed that both relaxing or selected-by-participant music slowed salivary cortisol increase levels after TSST, whereas STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) increases were not significantly different. Listening to music has no significant effects on either TSST or attention tasks. Effects of listening to music on salivary cortisol levels due to possible emotional responses irrespective of music preference were discussed.
