Returning to the ordinary world is the current trend in indigenouspsychology for understanding psycho-cultural meanings. Previousresearch has shown that Chinese people who are experiencing abreakup tend to down-regulate their negative emotions by listening tosentimental ballads, many of which encourage people to view theirbreakup experience from a positive perspective. The present studyexplores the artistic nature of the verse-chorus form of sentimentalballads, and the mental therapeutic effects of this form in terms of song contents and listeners’ mental processes. We analyzed the meanings ofMandarin sentimental ballads in terms of historical context andcontemporary norms, clarifying the characteristics of different songpassages. A finger temperature measurement experiment (39 participants,mean age = 22.5 years) and a brain-imaging experiment (15 participants,21-26 years-old) provided valuable information about the relationshipbetween song lyrics/music and resilience. The results suggest thatchanges in the lyrics and musical arrangement in the third chorus maybe critical to mental therapeutic effects. The mid-posterior temporalcortex may be involved in semantic and musical processing, while thesubgenual anterior cingulate cortex and the inferior frontal gyrus mayintegrate song information to down-regulate negative emotions. Ourpreliminary findings have implications for the role of emotion-cognitioninteractions in music therapy. This interdisciplinary evidence-basedresearch not only resulted in an innovative approach to identify themechanism underlying music therapy, but also integrated differentresearch paradigms to explore the mind sciences in the context ofculture. |
