Tell us about the music you find soothing
We are recruiting adult participants for a research study. We aim to find out more about music that people find soothing to support mental health and wellbeing.
Taking part will involve completing a very brief online survey (~5-10 minutes) and there’s a chance for participants to win a £25 Amazon voucher!
Taking part will involve completing a very brief online survey (5-10 minutes). You will be asked to list 1-5 songs you find soothing, describe why you find this music soothing, and complete a brief demographic survey.
We welcome participants who are aged 18 years and older from the general population, as well as neurodivergent participants, such as autistic individuals, or those with mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. We welcome participants who have received clinical diagnoses or who are self-diagnosed.
