Why does music affect your mood?

Answer 1

You are experiencing affects of music when you listen to pleasant sounds that cause you to shut down emotionally to the point where you cannot define your feelings. Affect is the reason why we enjoy the types of music that we like. Some people are touched by specific styles of music as it heightens their emotions. Others may use music to help them express their true inner feelings. No matter what reasons people come up with, music preferences are determined by personal interpretations of the music, what it does for us, and is experienced by it.

Answer 2

Good question! maybe because people can connect with the lyrics or music it's self. It's pretty amazing! Most people can write or sing about things that do happen in life. Such as love and loss. And most of the time we can relate to it. It can really affect how we feel. It can remind you of past or present events in you life, and that could trigger emotion.

hope that helps.!

this is another one!:(it was from my science fair project gr. 6)

I found out that music does affect the brain and mood because the brain responses to the music while you are listening to it.

In my experiment I noticed that my hypothesis was right. I first took two different people from different age groups and tested different genres of music. My sister from the younger age group responded to metal music as acting crazy and my mom from the older age group was frustrated after listening to it.

I was curious if this would happen to all older people so I decided to choose my aunt and yes, her attitude towards metal music was similar.

I wasn't done my experiment just yet since I still had to see if both of my sisters will respond the same to the rock music. When my sister#1 started listening to rock music, she became energetic she started to sing along and talk a lot as well. My sister #2 started to go really hyper and happy.

So as you can see we can definitely see a pattern.

Music can affect mood due to its ability to stimulate brain regions involved in emotion processing, memory, and reward. Different types of music can evoke memories, trigger emotional responses, and influence neurotransmitter levels in the brain, ultimately impacting mood. The tempo, pitch, and lyrics of a song can also play a role in how it affects an individual's mood.
