Abstract

Growing evidence shows that choirs improve the well-being of people experiencing chronic mental health conditions; however, the impact of performances by “recovery choirs” (i.e., singers with mental health conditions) on their community audience members has not been examined. In three studies, we explored whether performances foster positive emotions toward recovery choristers. In Study 1, we surveyed 50 audience members before and after a public concert and found that watching the recovery choir sing increased positive emotions and attitudes toward mental health recovery. In a randomized experiment, Study 2a ( n = 322) and 2b ( n = 403) found that watching a short film of both a recovery choir and an amateur community choir singing increased positive emotions toward the choristers in comparison with a control activity condition. There was mixed evidence for effects on social connectedness, acceptance, and belief in mental health recovery. The effects of watching the choirs singing on social connectedness and acceptance of the choristers were mediated by positive emotions. Our results provide new evidence of the audience’s responses to amateur choir performances, by demonstrating that witnessing both community and recovery choir performances can foster admiration, respect, and positive regard toward choristers regardless of their mental health status.
观众对患有精神疾病的人合唱的情绪反应
越来越多的证据表明,唱诗班可以改善患有慢性精神疾病的人的福祉;然而,尚未审查"康复合唱团"(即有精神健康问题的歌手)的表演对其社区听众的影响。在三项研究中,我们探讨了表演是否能培养对康复合唱团的积极情绪。在研究1中,我们调查了50名观众在公开音乐会前后,发现观看康复合唱团唱歌增加了积极的情绪和对心理健康康复的态度。在一项随机实验中,研究2a (n = 322)和2b (n = 403)发现,与控制活动条件相比,观看康复合唱团和业余社区合唱团唱歌的短片增加了对合唱团的积极情绪。关于社会联系、接受度和对心理健康恢复的信念的影响,有不同的证据。观看唱诗班唱歌对唱诗班的社会联系和接受度的影响是由积极情绪介导的。我们的研究结果为观众对业余合唱团表演的反应提供了新的证据,通过证明观看社区和康复合唱团表演可以培养对合唱团成员的钦佩,尊重和积极关注,而不管他们的心理健康状况如何。
