Abstract

Music plays a key role in our evolution and contributes to the promotion of interpersonal relationships as well as enhancement of group cohesiveness. In this study, 29 five- to six-year-old preschool children were examined to explore the influence of passive music listening and active music engagement on their helping and sharing behaviors, compared with coloring activities. The results revealed that children’s prosocial behaviors were significantly different under the three conditions, and as compared with passive listening and coloring conditions, children’s prosocial behavior (including helping behavior and sharing behavior) in the active music engagement condition was significantly enhanced. Our research revealed that even short-duration active music engagement can improve children’s prosocial behavior, and the potential benefit of active engagement musical training for the development of preschool children should be recognized.

音乐活动对学龄前儿童亲社会行为的影响

音乐在我们的进化过程中扮演着重要角色，有助于促进人际关系和增强团体凝聚力。本研究以 29 名五至六岁的学龄前儿童为研究对象，探讨了与涂色活动相比，被动聆听音乐和主动参与音乐活动对儿童帮助和分享行为的影响。结果发现，在三种条件下，儿童的亲社会行为有显著差异，与被动聆听和涂色条件相比，主动参与音乐活动条件下儿童的亲社会行为（包括帮助行为和分享行为）显著增强。我们的研究表明，即使是短时间的主动音乐参与也能改善儿童的亲社会行为，主动参与音乐训练对学龄前儿童发展的潜在益处应得到认可。
