There are many adaptive functions of music listening (AFML) that are relevant for understanding wellbeing. Functions relating to mood and emotion regulation dominate general measures of music listening functions. Eudaimonic functions of music listening (FML) have been identified, but no scale has been developed to measure these functions. The current study reports on the development of a new measure to assess eudaimonic music listening functions. Items were developed based on a prior qualitative study and a literature review focused on music listening and wellbeing. The factor structure was investigated by EFA and CFA in a large sample of participants ( = 637, 17-66 years, = 22.04, = 6.23, 326 males). Tests of dimensionality revealed a three factor scale with seven items. The scale and its subscales possess good internal consistency. The Eudaimonic FML scale measures Transcendence, Flow, and Peak Experience. Contrary to expectations eudaimonic FML did not relate to higher wellbeing (higher positive affect, lower negative affect, higher life satisfaction), rather results suggest that these FML are associated with greater emotional experience more generally. This brief scale will have applications in research focused on music listening benefits, music selection preferences, and experimental and developmental effects of music listening on psychological outcomes.
音乐聆听的适应性功能（AFML）有许多与理解幸福感相关的方面。与情绪和情感调节相关的功能在音乐聆听功能的一般测量中占主导地位。音乐聆听的幸福感功能（FML）已被识别，但尚未开发出测量这些功能的量表。本研究报告了一种评估音乐聆听幸福感功能的新测量方法的开发。项目基于先前的定性研究和一项聚焦于音乐聆听与幸福感的文献综述而制定。通过探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析（CFA）在大量参与者样本（n = 637，年龄17 - 66岁，M = 22.04，SD = 6.23，326名男性）中对因素结构进行了研究。维度检验揭示了一个包含七个项目的三因素量表。该量表及其子量表具有良好的内部一致性。幸福感FML量表测量超越、心流和巅峰体验。与预期相反，幸福感FML与更高的幸福感（更高的积极情绪、更低的消极情绪、更高的生活满意度）无关，相反，结果表明这些FML更普遍地与更强烈的情感体验相关。这个简短的量表将应用于专注于音乐聆听益处、音乐选择偏好以及音乐聆听对心理结果的实验和发展影响的研究中。
