Although music is known to be a part of everyday life and a resource for mood and emotion management, everyday life has changed significantly for many due to the global coronavirus pandemic, making the role of music in everyday life less certain. An online survey in which participants responded to Likert scale questions as well as providing free text responses was used to explore how participants were engaging with music during the first wave of the pandemic, whether and how they were using music for mood regulation, and how their engagement with music related to their experiences of worry and anxiety resulting from the pandemic. Results indicated that, for the majority of participants, while many felt their use of music had changed since the beginning of the pandemic, the amount of their music listening behaviors were either unaffected by the pandemic or increased. This was especially true of listening to self-selected music and watching live streamed concerts. Analysis revealed correlations between participants' use of mood for music regulation, their musical engagement, and their levels of anxiety and worry. A small number of participants described having negative emotional responses to music, the majority of whom also reported severe levels of anxiety.
尽管音乐是日常生活的一部分，也是调节情绪和情感的一种方式，但由于全球新冠疫情，许多人的日常生活发生了显著变化，这使得音乐在日常生活中的作用变得不那么确定。一项在线调查通过让参与者回答李克特量表问题并提供自由文本回复，来探究在疫情第一波期间参与者与音乐的互动方式、他们是否以及如何利用音乐调节情绪，以及他们与音乐的互动如何与疫情引发的担忧和焦虑体验相关。结果表明，对于大多数参与者来说，虽然许多人觉得自疫情开始以来他们使用音乐的方式发生了变化，但他们听音乐的行为量要么不受疫情影响，要么有所增加。在听自选音乐和观看直播音乐会方面尤其如此。分析揭示了参与者利用音乐调节情绪、他们与音乐的互动以及他们的焦虑和担忧程度之间的相关性。少数参与者描述了对音乐有负面情绪反应，其中大多数人还报告了严重的焦虑程度。
