Research has found a close correlation between positive psychological qualities of college students and their behavior of listening to popular music. The dimension corelation between social skills and emotional regulation is the strongest, and college students who prefer soothing and uplifting pop music and maintain moderate listening time score higher in dimensions such as optimistic attitude, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience; There are certain differences in the impact of different listening scenarios (such as learning, leisure, sports, etc.) on positive psychological qualities.
