The author presents eight of his own group's studies. They have been published from early 1980s until 2016. Each study will be placed in its scientific context and discussed in relation to possible progress in arts and health research. In these examples, statistical methods with longitudinal designs and mostly control groups have been used. Some of them are randomized controlled trials. Physiological and endocrinological variables have been assessed in some of these studies in efforts to increase our understanding of how music experiences and other kinds of arts experiences interact with bodily reactions of relevance for health development. Although some of the studies have suffered from low statistical power and other methodological weaknesses, they show that it is possible to do statistical evaluations of arts interventions aiming at improved health.
作者展示了其团队的八项研究。这些研究发表于20世纪80年代初至2016年期间。每项研究都将置于其科学背景下，并结合艺术与健康研究的可能进展进行讨论。在这些例子中，采用了纵向设计且大多设有对照组的统计方法。其中一些是随机对照试验。在其中一些研究中，对生理和内分泌变量进行了评估，以增进我们对音乐体验和其他艺术体验如何与对健康发展具有相关性的身体反应相互作用的理解。尽管一些研究存在统计效力低和其他方法学上的弱点，但它们表明对旨在改善健康的艺术干预进行统计评估是可行的。
