Evaluating the Efficacy of a 5‐Min Music Listening Intervention for State Anxiety Reduction in College Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Our study did not find evidence supporting the anxiety-reducing effects of a brief exposure to a unified piece of music (Oriental Jazz). Given these findings, this intervention does not appear to have benefits for reducing anxiety when applied before lectures. Future investigations should consider personalized music interventions, duration, and individual preferences.
