In a previous study we demonstrated that listening to a pleasant music while performing an academic test helped students to overcome stress, to devote more time to more stressful and more complicated task and the grades were higher. Yet, there remained ambiguities as for the causes of the higher test performance of these students: do they perform better because they hear music during their examinations, or would they perform better anyway because they are more gifted/motivated? This motivated the current study as a preliminary step toward that general question: Do students who like/perform music have better grades than the others? Our results confirmed this hypothesis: students studying music have better grades in all subjects.
在之前的一项研究中，我们证明了在进行学术测试时听愉悦的音乐会帮助学生克服压力，将更多时间投入到压力更大、更复杂的任务中，并且成绩更高。然而，这些学生考试成绩更高的原因仍存在模糊之处：他们表现更好是因为考试期间听了音乐，还是无论如何都会因为更有天赋/积极性而表现得更好？这促使了当前这项研究作为朝着那个一般性问题迈出的初步步骤：喜欢/从事音乐活动的学生成绩是否比其他学生更好？我们的结果证实了这一假设：学习音乐的学生在所有科目上成绩都更好。
