Description
Xuechang Xian and co-authors study music listening during COVID-19 quarantine in this 2024 paper. Quarantine helped slow the virus but harmed mental health for many people. Music was a common coping tool, yet its benefits by genre were unclear.
A web survey in mainland China in September 2022 drew 596 usable replies for the main analysis. Almost all respondents had listened to music while in quarantine. Pop music was the most popular choice, and a folk form called quyi was the least heard. Listening across five genres linked to better mental health through felt social connection. Quyi also tied to a stronger sense of security.
