With increasing interest in the emotional responses to music, some studies are specifically looking into music's regulatory function on emotion, known as "music emotion regulation (MER)". The purpose of this study was to examine the concepts on the regulatory impact of music on emotion using a scoping review procedure. Through an electronic database and manual searches based on the guidelines suggested by the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis, a total of 47 studies were identified and included for analysis. The results showed that there were some definitional challenges in each component of music emotion regulation. Most studies treated music as a single variable without exploring the regulatory mechanism of the intra-musical elements that constitute music. When examining the regulatory impact of music on emotion, emotion was inclusive of other terms ranging from feeling to mood. Most of the MER studies employed the terms used in the emotion regulation strategies; however, there were some regulatory processes that pertained solely to music's cathartic effect. Overall, the results showed that music emotion regulation (MER) was not clearly distinguished from music emotion (ME) studies. Future research should allocate more attention to the theoretical mechanism behind music's intrinsic regulatory effect in emotion regulation (MER) studies.
随着人们对音乐情感反应的兴趣日益浓厚，一些研究专门探讨了音乐对情感的调节功能，即“音乐情感调节（MER）”。本研究的目的是通过范围综述程序来审视音乐对情感调节影响的相关概念。通过基于JBI证据综合手册建议的指南进行电子数据库检索和手工检索，共识别并纳入47项研究进行分析。结果表明，音乐情感调节的每个组成部分都存在一些定义上的挑战。大多数研究将音乐视为单一变量，而未探讨构成音乐的音乐内部元素的调节机制。在考察音乐对情感的调节影响时，情感包含了从感觉至情绪等其他术语。大多数音乐情感调节研究采用了情感调节策略中使用的术语；然而，存在一些仅与音乐宣泄效应相关的调节过程。总体而言，结果表明音乐情感调节（MER）与音乐情感（ME）研究并未明确区分开来。未来研究应在音乐情感调节（MER）研究中更加关注音乐内在调节效应背后的理论机制。
