The Emotional, Developmental, Social, and Positive Intersectionalities Between Music and Psychology -- An Thorough Investigation of the Relationship between Music and the Mind

Jiahe Zhu

Abstract


Music is an expression of human experiences. It tremendously influences the life of an individual, especially for adolescents. This
paper tackles the impact of music on adolescents and the intersectionality between music and psycholog through a psychological perspective.
The discussion of the association between music and psychology for adolescents is divided into four aspects, including emotional, developmental, social, and positive. Along with the growth and development of teenagers, music is a powerful facilitator and medium for mood
regulation and personal expression. As music continues to cast a lasting influence on the psyche of adolescents, research on its psychological
functions is necessary.
