Abstract

It has been proposed that patients who suffer from mood disorders benefit from music listening according to the iso principle. The iso principle in a therapeutic context means that patients initially listen to music which matches their current state, and afterward listen to music which expresses a desired state. However, experimental evidence in this patient group is lacking. Thirty-eight patients with mood disorders were included. They were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups: the iso-group listened to music according to the iso principle with a sad song first and a happy song afterward; the compensatory-group listened to music according to the compensatory principle with two happy songs in sequence. In the iso-group, positive affect decreased after the sad song, and increased after the happy song. In the compensatory-group, positive affect immediately increased after the first happy song, and did not further increase after the second happy song. Negative affect decreased in both groups. We conclude that music listening to the iso principle as well as the compensatory principle are suited for affect regulation in patients with mood disorders. For therapeutic purposes, the iso principle may be used to work with the affect-enhancing effect after low positive affect.

根据iso原则听音乐的患者心境障碍

有人提出，根据iso原则，患有情绪障碍的患者可以从听音乐中受益。在治疗环境中，iso原则意味着患者最初听与他们当前状态相匹配的音乐，然后听表达期望状态的音乐。然而，在这一患者群体中缺乏实验证据。38名情绪障碍患者被纳入研究。他们被随机分配到两个实验组：iso组按照iso原则听音乐，先听悲伤的歌曲，后听快乐的歌曲；补偿组按照补偿原则依次听两首快乐的歌曲。在同种组中，听过悲伤歌曲后，积极情绪下降，听过快乐歌曲后，积极情绪增加。在补偿组中，积极情绪在第一首快乐歌曲后立即增加，在第二首快乐歌曲后没有进一步增加。两组的负面情绪都有所下降。我们认为听音乐的iso原则和代偿原则适用于情绪障碍患者的情绪调节。出于治疗目的，iso原理可用于在低积极情绪后的情绪增强效应。
