Abstract

Argentina and Australia endured among the most severe COVID-19 lockdowns globally. This study examined which artistic creative activities (ACAs) Argentinians in the Buenos Aries region used to support their mental health and wellbeing and compared these findings with existing data for Australians (primarily from Victoria) across a similar period. Adult Argentinians ( N = 86) responded to an online survey regarding 27 listed ACAs, as well as ratings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. While “watching films and television” was the most commonly reported ACA, it was not rated as effective in supporting mental health and wellbeing. Conversely, musical ACAs were ranked highest. We consider evidence from Australia, North America, and South America that musical ACAs (especially music listening) have been most effective at supporting mental health and wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic by way of avoidance-based emotion regulation. We also conclude from the data that Argentinians tended to place greater importance on music-based ACAs than Australians.
音乐活动作为COVID-19大流行期间基于回避的情绪调节:跨大洲的证据
阿根廷和澳大利亚经历了全球最严重的新冠肺炎封锁。这项研究调查了布宜诺斯艾利斯-白羊座地区的阿根廷人使用哪些艺术创作活动来支持他们的心理健康和幸福,并将这些发现与类似时期澳大利亚人(主要来自维多利亚州)的现有数据进行了比较。成年阿根廷人(N = 86)对一项关于27个列出的ACA的在线调查以及焦虑、抑郁和孤独的评分做出了回应。虽然“看电影和电视”是最常见的ACA,但它在支持心理健康和幸福方面没有被评为有效。相反,音乐ACA排名最高。我们考虑了来自澳大利亚、北美和南美的证据,即音乐ACA(尤其是音乐聆听)通过基于回避的情绪调节,在新冠肺炎大流行期间最有效地支持心理健康和幸福。我们还从数据中得出结论,阿根廷人往往比澳大利亚人更重视基于音乐的ACA。
