Abstract in brief

  • This study explores how amateur choral singing affects psychological and biological aspects like mood, feelings of social connection, and stress, comparing singing with non-singing activities over different time periods.
  • Results showed that singing generally improved positive emotions, and longer singing sessions increased perceived social connectedness, although biological stress markers like cortisol did not show significant changes.
  • The findings suggest that both the act and duration of singing influence psychological benefits, particularly social connectedness, but the biological stress responses remain unclear and need further research.

It's not breaking news and won't come a surprise but the connection between choral singing and psychological well-being is almost indisputable. The science is there! Not a super quick read but interesting. https://t.co/UD2rZuv1qp
