A stressful task is when to turn off the music: Effect of music on task performance mediated by cognitive effort
PSYCHOLOGY OF MUSIC(2022)
摘要
Studies on the effect of music on task performance are contradictory about this relationship's direction and valence. Task characteristics may be accounting for these inconclusive findings. Thus, this study employs effort to mediate music's effect on task performance (objective and perceived) under a stressful decision-making process. This is a between-group experiment with three conditions: slow-tempo music, fast-tempo music, or no music. We designed a computer web interface, where participants did a stressful task. Results demonstrated that participants made a strong effort under the conditions with music. Hence, turning the music off under stressful activities is favorable in terms of performance. The article contributes to understanding the interaction between music and task performance, expanding the discussion within a stressful task.
