Technological advances and current trends in online engagement influence the ways young people engage with each other and mental health promotion. These will be discussed to highlight the importance of connecting in meaningful and relevant ways beyond therapy to improve youth mental health literacy and promote pathways to help-seeking and adolescent wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":244296,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Music, Adolescents, and Wellbeing","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125063993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These mediated environments alter how young people consume, identify, and connect with music. Social media platforms further emphasize a social relationship to music. Young people can use social media to present their musical preferences, connect with others who share their musical affinities, and even communicate with musicians and celebrities. In this chapter, we discuss how music and social media intersect in the context of three developmental tasks that young people face. We focus on social development, identity development, including personal and social identities, and physical development as three key developmental tasks that mark and affect young people’s growth. Social media provide tools and environments for these developmental tasks, and music can play a role in how young people use social media to negotiate these developmental tasks. The chapter maps existing literature on the interplay between music, adolescent development, and social media, and identifies research directions that are yet to be addressed.","PeriodicalId":244296,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Music, Adolescents, and Wellbeing","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116702285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adolescents are renegotiating a multitude of fundamental self-perceptions from body image to social roles. At the same time, their self-regulatory skills are still developing, and society is placing increased demands on responsible behaviour, yet not always facilitating adolescents’ own abilities to act and voice. All this is challenging for adolescents’ sense of agency, the experience of being the actor in their lives, and holding ownership of their feelings, thoughts, and actions. This chapter discusses music as a resource for supporting agency during identity construction. In many ways, music is the space in which adolescents can be the actors of their life, give voice to their feelings and throughts, safely search for themselves, and feel ownership of their actions. Music can empower adolescents and facilitate their indentity construction by fostering their own capacity for self-reflection, self-regulation, self-expression, and participation. The chapter introduces the identity section of this book, discussing how music functions as an empowering playground for agency in healthy development, and also how music can restore agency when it has been compromised.","PeriodicalId":244296,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Music, Adolescents, and Wellbeing","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133175637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This introductory chapter canvasses the vast landscape of music, adolescents, and emotions, using the lens of crystallization to consider the different perspectives offered by young people, music therapists, and music psychologists.

For researchers, measurement can encompass both process and outcome indicators that provide the capacity to monitor change over time and examine the impact of music-based interventions on mental health and wellbeing. For practitioners, measurement forms a fundamental aspect of the needs analysis so that therapeutic sessions can be tailored to suit individuals’ needs. This chapter presents information about the types of methods and factors that need to be considered for future work measuring emotional responses to music in young people. The benefits and challenges of utilizing mixed-methods approaches will also be considered.

It takes shape in relation to a social distribution of cultural resources for the configuration of age-specific identities. It is spatially and temporally produced. This chapter describes how musical engagement can produce anachronistic enactments of age-linked categories. Studying the ways that music is appropriated for this purpose highlights age-banded categories—adolescence included—as identity performances, constituted through musical practices, tastes, listening habits, and engagement. Music can also facilitate anachronistic age identities and these may offer developmental opportunities as well as opportunities for asylum (shelter from distressing features of daily life). This chapter explores how ‘reverting’ to adolescent musical practices and tastes affords the identity performance of the ‘inner teen’. It concludes that using music for age-band travel can be catalytic for major life change as well as for smaller processes of adaptation and coping.","PeriodicalId":244296,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Music, Adolescents, and Wellbeing","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126823512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adolescence is a period of intense emotions and the age group with the highest consumption of music. In this chapter, we argue that young people may be emotionally immersing in music as a way of ‘practising’ negative emotions and developing their emotional regulation skills. We present data showing that emotional immersion is one mechanism through which music is linked with wellbeing among young people. An international survey of 372 participants shows that young people use music more to immerse in sadness and anger than those aged over 25 years. Finally, studies in which angry or sad mood was evoked reveal that participants select music that allowed them to immerse in these emotions which helped to process them.","PeriodicalId":244296,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Music, Adolescents, and Wellbeing","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131000911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
