Abstract

This mixed-method study investigated the impact of a community group singing project on the psychological well-being of school children in the London area. Self-rated measures of psychological well-being and identity as a singer were administered to 60 children aged 7–11 at three time points. A teacher-rated measure of psychological difficulties was also administered. Finally, a sample of children sharing their experience of the project in focus groups and music teacher interviews were carried out. Quantitative data did not confirm the hypothesis that choir members' psychological well-being would increase following participation in the singing project; however, qualitative data provided evidence for a range of beneficial outcomes for participating children. Although group singing appears to be a positive experience for children who participate, findings suggest that the impact may be subtle for children with high levels of psychological well-being.

群唱与青少年心理健康

这项混合方法研究调查了一个社区团体唱歌项目对伦敦地区学龄儿童心理健康的影响。研究人员在三个时间点对60名7-11岁的儿童进行了心理健康和歌手身份的自我评估。此外，还对心理困难进行了教师评定。最后，在焦点小组和音乐教师访谈中，对儿童样本进行了分享他们对项目的体验。定量数据没有证实合唱团成员在参与歌唱项目后心理健康会增加的假设;然而，定性数据为参与的儿童提供了一系列有益结果的证据。虽然集体歌唱对参与其中的孩子来说似乎是一种积极的体验，但研究结果表明，对心理健康水平较高的孩子来说，这种影响可能是微妙的。
