Abstract

Music students often experience high levels of stress largely due to factors including coursework, performances, time management, professional development, and practicing. Stress that music students face is associated with depression and anxiety. Previous research shows that social support is linked to lower stress and internalizing symptoms. However, no studies to date have examined ensemble directors, lesson teachers, or music major peers as specific sources of support in the lives of music students. The current study examined whether social support from these sources moderated the link between music-specific stress and internalizing symptoms. Participants were 73 music students at a large public university in the United States. The results revealed a statistically significant association between music-specific stress and internalizing symptoms. Furthermore, social support from ensemble directors moderated the relationship between music-specific stress and depression. The findings suggest that (a) music-specific stress is linked to internalizing problems in students, (b) ensemble directors may act as a protective resource in reducing the severity of depression for music students undergoing elevated music-specific stress, and (c) more research is needed that examines the role ensemble directors, lesson teachers, and music major peers can play in supporting the mental health of music students.

你是赶时间还是拖时间?大学音乐系学生的感知支持、音乐特异性压力和内化症状

音乐专业的学生通常会经历很大程度的压力，这主要是由于课程作业、表演、时间管理、专业发展和实践等因素造成的。音乐学生面临的压力与抑郁和焦虑有关。先前的研究表明，社会支持与较低的压力和内化症状有关。然而，到目前为止，还没有研究将乐团指挥、教师或音乐专业的同龄人作为音乐学生生活中支持的具体来源。目前的研究调查了来自这些来源的社会支持是否缓和了音乐特异性压力和内化症状之间的联系。参与者是美国一所大型公立大学的73名音乐系学生。结果显示，音乐特异性压力与内化症状之间存在统计学上的显著关联。此外，乐团指挥的社会支持调节了音乐特定压力与抑郁之间的关系。研究结果表明:(a)音乐特定压力与学生的内化问题有关;(b)乐团指挥可以作为一种保护性资源，减轻音乐特定压力升高的音乐学生的抑郁严重程度;(c)需要更多的研究来检验乐团指挥、课堂教师和音乐专业同伴在支持音乐学生心理健康方面所起的作用。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
