Abstract

Music, as an emotional expression and adjustment tool, has a significant impact on the mental health of teenagers. Through a four-week experiment, this study explored the influence of music on teenagers' emotional state, psychological resilience, anxiety level, self-cognition and life satisfaction. The subjects were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group listened to healing music for 30 minutes every day, while the control group conducted quiet meditation activities. The mental health status of the two groups of teenagers was measured and compared by psychological scales such as PANAS, RS, STAI, self-concept and life satisfaction. The results show that the experimental group is significantly better than the control group in emotion regulation, psychological resilience improvement and self-cognition, which proves that music has the potential to promote the mental health of teenagers. This paper discusses the theoretical and practical significance of these findings.
