Psychologists finds that when listening to music to relieve stress ‘genre doesn’t matter’

Feeling stressed? “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” “Nothing Else Matters” or “Baby One More Time” might calm you down again. Psychologist and music scientist Krisna Adiasto discovered that music genre doesn’t seem to play a role in the songs we choose to recover from stress, but the songs that work do have shared characteristics. Krisna Adiasto will receive his doctorate from Radboud University on 29 January.
