An individual’s overall functioning is presumed to be linked with the way an individual regulates his/her emotional states and coping with stressors. Therefore, present study was undertaken to identify how satisfaction with life is predicted by emotion regulation and strategies of coping with stress among 300 young adults (150 males and 150 females) falling in the age range of 20-25 years. Results indicate significant gender differences on all three variables. Express emotion and problem avoidance were found to predict satisfaction with life among females. Among males cognitive reappraisal, cognitive restructuring and social support predicted the criterion variable.

The literature, which is reviewed here found no such study in the Indian context. Therefore, the present study was conducted on 445 under- and post- graduate students of Amity University, Lucknow Campus. The study examined the basic underlying dimensions of music preferences, the links between music preferences and Big-Five personality characteristics, and gender differences in music preferences. The factor analysis revealed the presence of five major factors named as – Intense and Electronic; Devotional and Cultural; Emotional and Melodious; Spiritual and Reflective; and Contemporary and Rhythmic, underlying the 23 genres. Results showed that except for contemporary and rhythmic dimensions of music preference, all other music preference styles were related to one or the other personality dimensions (for example, intense and electronic music preference is significantl...

Study 1 examined the relationship between music preferences (MP), listening styles (LS), functions of music (FoM), perceived rasa (music), and personality traits (PT - Big Five Factors). A sample of 77 young adults (M = 39; F = 38; M = 22.7 years) completed measures of the above constructs and data were analysed via correlations, one-way ANOVA, post hoc tests, and T-tests. Significant correlations were found between LS & PT; MP & PT; FoM & PT; FoM & emotion; and LS & FoM. Findings indicated stronger preferences for genres namely Romantic songs, Soft songs, and Filmy (Sad) songs. Gender difference existed in terms of MP, perceived emotions and LS. Music listening mainly served as a ‘source of pleasure and enjoyment’ and which ‘calms, motivates, or reminds of past events’. Musical genres inducing sa...

Results of the study, conducted on 200 adolescents, revealed that different predictors emer ged for Emotion Regulation among boys and girls . Regulation of emotions may ser ve different purposes for boys and girls so the variables which predict it must also be different as both genders ar e perceived differently and have gender specifi c needs and issues.

Study 1 examined the relationship between music preferences (MP), listening styles (LS), functions of music (FoM), perceived rasa (music), and personality traits (PT - Big Five Factors). A sample of 77 young adults (M = 39; F = 38; M = 22.7 years) completed measures of the above constructs and data were analysed via correlations, one-way ANOVA, post hoc tests, and T-tests. Significant correlations were found between LS & PT; MP & PT; FoM & PT; FoM & emotion; and LS & FoM. Findings indicated stronger preferences for genres namely Romantic songs, Soft songs, and Filmy (Sad) songs. Gender difference existed in terms of MP, perceived emotions and LS. Music listening mainly served as a ‘source of pleasure and enjoyment’ and which ‘calms, motivates, or
reminds of past events’. Musical genres inducing santoṣa rasa were perceived significantly higher in female participants. Based on the findings, a 'Music Engagement Model (MEM) for Young Adults' describing their music behaviour, have been proposed.
Study 2 examined affect (thoughts, feelings and actions) while listening to the lyrics of various music genres in young adults with varied personality traits. This study further examined which personality factor was more associated with thoughts, feelings and action tendencies generated through songs of various genres. A sample of 60 young adults (30 boys and 30 girls) of age group 18-27 years, pursuing graduation and post-graduation degrees from Amity University, Lucknow campus were selected. Tools used were Big Five Inventory (by John & Srivastava) and a 4-point Cognitive, Affective and Conative (CAC) scale (developed by Authors). Findings provide insights about the significance of music as media in day-to-day lives of young adults, particularly on their cognition and the amount of affect based on their personality factors. The time
phrase i.e. young adulthood, what has been called the most crucial
age, needs to be exposed to such music which does not only prove to
be a source for chills and enjoyment but also which fosters its wellbeing.
