Introduction
Music has long served as a powerful emotional tool uplifting
spirits, soothing anxiety, and creating deep psychological
resonance. With increasing global focus on mental health, the
interplay between music preferences and psychological well-being
is gaining traction in both research and clinical contexts. The
Music & Mental Health (MXMH) Survey Data set provides a rich
resource for exploring how individual musical tastes correlate with
mental health indicators such as depression, anxiety, stress levels,
and coping strategies.
Several compelling analyses have been carried out using this data
set, each offering valuable insights through distinct lenses and
methodologies. Below are five standout contributions that
developed relationship between music and mental health:

These resources collectively offer a multidimensional


understanding of how music interacts with mental health. From
foundational data exploration to practical therapeutic insights, they
affirm music's profound role in emotional regulation and
psychological resilience. As we continue to investigate these links,
we edge closer to leveraging music not just as a cultural artifact,
but as a viable mental health support tool.

Objectives of the Study

To Investigate the Relationship Between Music Preferences


and Mental Health Indicators
Analyze how listening habits and genre preferences relate to
self-reported levels of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and OCD.
To Explore the Role of Music as a Therapeutic Tool
Evaluate the impact of music listening on psychological well-
being, with a focus on identifying genres that promote
emotional relief or regulation.

To Perform Exploratory Data Analysis on the MXMH Data set


Use visual and statistical methods to uncover patterns and
correlations between demographic variables, music
preferences, and mental health outcomes.

To Examine Listening Contexts and Their Psychological


Impacts
Determine whether listening to music during specific activities
(e.g., working, relaxing, studying) correlates with improved
mental health.

To Identify Demographic Influences on Music and Mental


Health Patterns
Understand how age and gender affect musical choices and
mental health trends, providing insights for targeted
therapeutic interventions.

To Visualize Key Findings Using Python-Based Data Analysis


Tools
Utilize libraries such as Matplotlib and Seaborn to create
meaningful graphs and charts that support data-driven
conclusions.

Methodology and Analysis


Methodology

This project utilizes the Music & Mental Health (MXMH) Survey
data set, which includes self-reported data from individuals across
various demographics. The methodology involved several stages:
1. Data Cleaning: Missing values and inconsistencies in the data
set were addressed through imputation and removal strategies.
Unnecessary columns were dropped, and data types were
standardized.

2. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Various plots such as


histograms, bar graphs, pie charts, and scatter plots were created to
identify trends and relationships between musical preferences and
mental health indicators such as anxiety, depression and Insomnia.

3. Feature Engineering: New categorical and numerical features


were derived to better represent musical engagement and
emotional state.

4. Visualization: Matplotlib and Seaborn libraries were used to


generate meaningful visualizations that highlight correlations
between music genres and psychological responses.

5. Interpretation: The data was analyzed through descriptive


statistics and visual summaries to draw meaningful insights from
the patterns observed.

Analysis

The analysis revealed several important insights into how music


impacts mental health:

1. Individuals who listened to classical or lo-fi music reported


lower levels of anxiety and depression.
2. Genres like heavy metal and rap were more commonly
associated with individuals experiencing higher emotional
intensity, which could indicate either emotional expression or
unrest.

3. Listening to music during activities like studying or relaxing


was correlated with improved mental well-being.

4. Age and gender played significant roles in both music


preference and mental health trends, suggesting the need for
targeted music therapy.

The visualizations support the hypothesis that music is not only a


source of entertainment but also a psychological tool. Through the
integration of genre preferences, listening habits, and mental health
indicators, the data set offers valuable evidence for using music as
a potential mental health intervention strategy.

RESULTS
Conclusion
In this analysis, we explored a data set examining the relationship
between individuals' music preferences and their mental health
indicators. The key takeaways from the study are:

1. Streaming Habits: Most participants use Spotify or YouTube


Music, with varied daily listening duration.

2. Demographics: The data spans a wide age range, but younger


individuals appear more frequently.

3. Music & Mental Health: There are visible patterns in how


different genres correlate with reported levels of anxiety,
depression, insomnia, and OCD.

4. Genre Impact: Genres like classical, lo-fi, and video game


music often correlate with more positive mental health responses,
suggesting a possible therapeutic impact.

5. Instrumentalists and Composers: People with music-making


experience show different usage patterns and reported
psychological effects, possibly due to their deeper engagement
with music.

Overall, this analysis reinforces the idea that music plays a


complex and meaningful role in mental well-being.
