How musical, individual and situational factors explain the functionality of music in emotional regulation? How musical emotional regulation explains the development of emotional life and well-being?

Work package 1 investigates how musical, individual and situational factors explain the functionality of music in emotional regulation, and how musical emotional regulation explains the development of emotional life and well-being. The mobile phone application MuPSych enables objective reporting of mood, stress level and alertness in changing situations of everyday life. Methodologically, standardized self-assessment measures, measurement of physiological responses (HRV) and musical data mining (MIR) are also used, combining these with the longitudinal research setting of the work package.

Does musical and social factors explain body-level phenomena of musical interaction? Does pacing still explain the strengthening of the experience of togetherness between young people?

Work package 2 examines the bodily, social and musical levels of musical interaction. The work package utilizes musical data mining (MIR), standardized self-assessment measures and new methods of movement research and machine learning. With the help of an experimental setup, we will test to what extent musical and social factors explain body-level phenomena of musical interaction, such as pacing, and whether pacing still explains the strengthening of the experience of togetherness between young people.

In this work package there's two sub-studies. The first one examines music in everyday life of young people. The goal is to build new information about the meanings of music as part of young people's everyday life situations. In the second sub-study we are investigating how the individual and cultural factors influence the background of musical empowerment and connections to other components of well-being.

Summary: In this work package there's two sub-studies. The first one examines music in everyday life of young people. The goal is to build new information about the meanings of music as part of young people's everyday life situations. In the second sub-study we are investigating how the individual and cultural factors influence the background of musical empowerment and connections to other components of well-being. 

WP 3 gives voice to the young, exploring the self-perceived gratifications of music in young people’s lives, in different countries and cultural contexts. As young people are the early adopters of new platforms (IFPI, 2019), we are particularly interested in understanding how their private and shared experiences of music engagement are situated in a range of digital and non-digital platforms of everyday life. We also aim to provide new knowledge on how the self-perceived meanings of the various modern forms of musical engagement vary cross-culturally and in relation to individual differences and wellbeing of the young

The first sub-study of the work package, Music in the everyday life of young people, uses qualitative methods (interviews, digital ethnography) to build new information about the meanings of music as part of young people's everyday life situations. In particular, meanings tied to identity, feelings, peer relationships and everyday activities and their contextuality are examined.

In the second sub-study of the work package, a self-evaluation measure for the experience of musical empowerment is built. With the help of surveys, the individual and cultural factors influencing the background of musical empowerment and connections to other components of well-being are investigated.
