I'm doing a research paper about what reasons different people of different ages have for listening to music. Does it relax you? Does it remind you of something? Does it put you in a better mood?
PLEASE INCLUDE:
-your age
-what you do (stay home with the kids, go to college, work in an office, etc)
-what types of music you listen to
-what effects your music has on you
Thanks for the help!
Quick survey, will you answer 4 short questions for my research paper?
-22
-Senior in college majoring in psychology
-Electronic, alternative rock, classic rock, country, etc.
-It makes me happy, puts me in a good mood, and relaxes me (takes my mind off of stressful things)

What do I do- I go to beauty school full-time.
Types of music- Rock and Hip-Hop.
Effects- It helps me get through a tough day and it makes me feel better. Certain songs remind me of people in my life and experiences. I have Social Anxiety Disorder, so when I'm feeling a little anxious or nervous, music always calms me down.

I mostly listen to rock. A lot of 80's and 90's. I hate rap and R%26amp;B.
It depends on the mood I'm in. If I'm angry, Linkin Park does the job to help keep the anger under control and get it out. If I'm happy I listen to John Mayer, Blink 182, Green Day, Matchbox 20, etc. A lot of music has memories attatched to them, too. The song Butterfly Kisses is from my father, Iris is my husband and my song, From this Moment is dedicated to my newest daughter, Hailie's song is to my other daughter, etc.

Love 60, 70, 80's, 90's rock and the little rock that is out there now I love. Like some rap (and I don't mind the raunchy lyrics), R%26amp;B, and most everything but Country
I like my music to make me happy or reflect my mood. :)

I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids.
I listen to mostly pop music, some alternative and rock.
Music always seems to brighten the day. Sometimes it takes me back to when I was a kid, Barry Manilow, or when my husband and I first got together, The Cure. I love music. I can't imagine life without it.

alternative, classical
(both alternative and classical) get me excited, calms me, allows my mind to wander, and it also can be a bit distracting if I do need to concentrate (while writing and the song is counter to the mood I want to convey)

Reply:-your age ---%26gt;50
-what you do ----%26gt;cook in a nursing home
-what types of music you listen to ---%26gt; rock, classic rock, blues, oldies, Motown sometimes classical
-what effects your music has on you ---%26gt; most of the time music helps me to escape from my problems or worries. i love to sing along to the oldies when im cooking at work. it passes the time and it makes it more fun. classical music is a whole different thing, it can evoke many different feelings that were not present before listening to the music.

Reply:I listen to all kinds of music. There are certain songs, or types of music that totally relaxes me. Lots of songs remind me of a moment, or of a person. Most songs can put me in a better mood. Some songs I find it hard to listen to, as they remind me of someone who has passed away, or passed on to another part of their life. Other songs remind me of someone who may have back-stabbed me. Those songs can put me in a pretty bad mood.
I'm 31. I work for a daycare for special needs kids and I also have two kids at home. I listen to: Rock, alternative, oldies but goodies, jazz, blues, classical, opera, religious, musicals, big band, and new age. The effects my music has on me is very profound, as I've been around music my whole life, and I play a lot of my own music.
Hope I've been of some help! Good luck to you!

I am a stay at home/ homeschooling mom of three.
I love to listen to Traditional Christian Music ( mostly hymns) Patch the Pirate kids songs, Wee Sing , West Coast Baptist College, Alvin Martinez, Bruce Frye, The Trimbels, The Lindsey's(some of these are missionary families). I love to listen to musicals ( My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins etc.)
Personally for me, when I listen to my Christian music it reminds me of how much the Lord loves me. It fills me with joy, my mood is much better when I have it playing in the background. I love listening to Patch the Pirate with my kids, one it teaches them scripture and it also helps them to get along better. When I listen to my soundtracks, ( all old stuff) that brings me back to a time when I would do theater., I just enjoy it. It does relax me and when we have Godly music playing in the background the mood in my house is sweet and pleasant. There is a calm about my home.
I hope this helps you. Great question.
