Influence of Music Intervention on Emotional Control and Mental Health Management Self-efficacy of College Students

Abstract

Music can induce strong emotions and psychological changes. The emotional control and mental health management of college students are greatly affected by gender, family background, grade, and other factors. Through music intervention, this paper explores how music-induced emotions influence the emotional control and mental health management self-efficacy of college students. The results show that positive music promotes the control of positive emotions, as positive music can give full play to active emotions; negative music both controls and enhances the negative emotions of college students; music intervention significantly affects the pleasantness dimension of the mental health of college students, but insignificantly affects the arousal dimension. The research findings lay a basis for further studies on emotional control and mental health management of college students.
