The global COVID-19 lockdowns shattered familiar routines, plunging individuals into a disorienting emotional landscape characterized by loss, uncertainty, and a deep yearning for social bonds. Many employed coping strategies such as cleaning, dancing, and mindfulness-based practices to ameliorate negative emotions. Music listening was one of the most widely used coping strategies, moderated by personal and contextual variables. We obtained data from a Canadian national survey conducted in April 2020 to examine the role of personal (sex, age, education level, pre-pandemic income, minority status, feelings about music, and Schwartz's "personal values") and contextual variables (level of worry, changes to income, COVID-19 status and risk, having children at home, and internet access) in predicting music listening for stress relief, changes to music listening, changes to music watching, and music discovery. Our results indicate that women, younger adults, individuals who like or love music, and those reporting high levels of worry were more likely to listen to music to relieve stress. Personal variables were more significantly associated with music listening for stress relief than contextual variables.
全球新冠疫情封锁打破了人们熟悉的日常，使个体陷入一个以失落、不确定性以及对社会联系的深切渴望为特征的令人迷失方向的情感境地。许多人采用了诸如清洁、跳舞以及基于正念的练习等应对策略来缓解负面情绪。听音乐是最广泛使用的应对策略之一，受到个人和情境变量的调节。我们从2020年4月进行的一项加拿大全国性调查中获取数据，以检验个人变量（性别、年龄、教育水平、疫情前收入、少数族裔身份、对音乐的感受以及施瓦茨的“个人价值观”）和情境变量（担忧程度、收入变化、新冠疫情状况及风险、家中有孩子以及网络接入情况）在预测为缓解压力而听音乐、听音乐的变化、看音乐的变化以及音乐发现方面所起的作用。我们的结果表明，女性、年轻人、喜欢或热爱音乐的人以及报告担忧程度高的人更有可能通过听音乐来缓解压力。与情境变量相比，个人变量与为缓解压力而听音乐的关联更为显著。
