Affect regulation skills with music

Last week I presented a paper at the conference for Music Development and Learning at Roehampton University. This conference was organized by Roehampton University and SEMPRE. For this conference I also wrote a paper for the proceedings titled: "Affect regulation skills with music: Insight and changes over time". You will find the abstract of this paper below.

ABSTRACT
This paper describes a diary study followed by interviews in which it was explored how people use music for affect regulation. For this paper specifically, the data concerning the development, change, and learning of affect regulation skills are discussed. Two types of development are identified: First, lifelong development through experience with the working and outcomes of music, and second, the development of skills and especially insight of skills through participation in the study itself. The latter shows that after participants had the opportunity to think about the topic, the study caused them to reflect on their day-to-day affect regulation and they gained insight in their affect regulation behaviour. This indicates that the study itself can be a useful tool to gain knowledge. By means of this tool, one could improve one’s own affect regulation skills. The study incorporated a wide range of age, 18-64, and age-related effects will be reported.
