- Abstract
This study aims to explore the effects of music education on mental health among college students. A total of 267 university students completed questionnaires, including the Mood Education Scale, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and Self-Rating Depression Scale. The results showed that the frequency of participation in music education activities significantly decreases depression, rather than anxiety. Therefore, increasing the frequency of music education activities could be a promising approach to improving the mental health problems of university students.
