Noll, Lindy Anne

Abstract Details

2015, Master of Social Work, Ohio State University, Social Work.
This study looked at differences between live and recorded music in the assisted living population by splitting participants into two groups. One group listened to live music and the second group listened to the recorded version. The focus of this study was looking at observable differences using the Observed Emotion Rating Scale and how the participants were feeling when listening to the music using the General Self-Rated Health Questions. The results suggested that there are differences in participation and mood between the two groups and participants reported that they felt better when they listened to the live music. This research will be able to assist assisted living facilities in determining activities for their residents and stresses the impact of musicians in their community.
