It has been known for some time that music plays a vital role in people's lives, especially in the lives of adolescents. Music has been shown to not only serve as entertainment, but also serves to regulate emotions and form a sense of identity. The need for emotional regulation and identity formation peaks during adolescence; a period during which a large part of life is devoted to music. Various studies have shown that the role of music in adolescents is important because it contributes to the development of the adolescent's autonomy, which can then lead to an increase in their happiness. A group of researchers from the University of Ottawa studied the relationship between music and overall happiness. Aware that music helps increase happiness, researchers at the University of Ottawa investigated whether there was a link between listening to music and an adolescent's overall happiness. Overall happiness, also known as subjective well-being (SWB), is an assessment of a person's quality of life. Domains considered in overall happiness may consist of an individual's assessment of their personal, subjective, and overall quality of life. An individual's assessment of their subjective well-being can be modified by their personality, financial stability, and psychosocial prosperity. If we take into account the effects of music on the lives of adolescents, there is the possibility that music also affects their overall happiness. To test the relationship between music and global research scientists at the University of Ottawa, conduct a study on a group of undergraduate students who were attending a Canadian university.

In the study, the number of female participants differentiated between the perspectives and emotions of men and women. The information collected for the study was self-reported by the participants and there were no interviews or outside observers to study the subjects. Although the study helped determine the connection between music and global happiness, it is important to note that the study was not representative of the adolescent population in Canada or elsewhere in the world and that it It would therefore be wise to carry out further studies. .Works consultedMorinville, Amélie, Dave Miranda and Patrick Gaudreau. “Motivation to listen to music is associated with global happiness among Canadian adolescents.” Psychology of aesthetics, creativity and the arts 7.4 (2013): 384-390.
