Several studies have examined the effect of music on prosocial behavior. However, they have not been able to explain whether lyrics with music or lyrics alone influence prosocial behavior. We conducted two studies to investigate this issue. We first validated the influence of prosocial lyrics (relative to neutral lyrics) on prosocial cognition and prosocial emotion (Study 1). Next, we examined the influence of different types of lyrics on prosocial behavior (willingness to participate in unpaid experiments) among college students under different lyric conditions (Study 2). The results are partly consistent with previous findings, and further reveal that lyrics may have an effect on prosocial cognition and emotion, and that different lyric conditions have a significant influence on prosocial behavior. Overall, we used the short-term effect of the general learning model (GLM) to verify that prosocial lyrics in music can promote prosocial behavior among college students.
多项研究探讨了音乐对亲社会行为的影响。然而，它们未能解释有音乐相伴的歌词还是单纯的歌词会影响亲社会行为。我们进行了两项研究来调查这个问题。我们首先验证了亲社会歌词（相对于中性歌词）对亲社会认知和亲社会情感的影响（研究1）。接下来，我们考察了不同类型的歌词在不同歌词条件下对大学生亲社会行为（参与无偿实验的意愿）的影响（研究2）。结果部分与先前的研究结果一致，并且进一步表明歌词可能对亲社会认知和情感有影响，而且不同的歌词条件对亲社会行为有显著影响。总体而言，我们利用一般学习模型（GLM）的短期效应来验证音乐中的亲社会歌词能够促进大学生的亲社会行为。
