A News post was sent out to ask if these men and women wanted to be a part of this 4 week experiment. ]]> 2019-04-25 04:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/353987413 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/353987680  50 subjects were randomly assigned to listen to music and drive for at least a hour per day.  The other 50 subjects were to not listen to any music and drive for at least an hour per day. ]]> 2019-04-25 04:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/353987680 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/353987832  Our explanatory variable was whether or not the subjects listen to music daily. Depending on what the subject was assigned to, they either listen to music for an hour or didn’t listen to any music every day. ]]> 2019-04-25 04:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/353987832 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/353988228 At the end of the four weeks, we did a test on each subject by doing a blood sample. This is to sampl at the end of the four weeks, we did a test on each subject by doing a blood sample. This is to measure of the subjects stress levels.]]> 2019-04-25 04:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/353988228 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/353988464  Our control group is the 50 subjects who did not listen to music daily for an hour.

We numbered the subjects and used a random number table to select 100 for the treatment group. Potential lurking variables are stress levels, age, and gender. ]]> 2019-04-25 06:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354002999 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354003385  For this experiment, people were matched up by stress levels, gender, and age. Prior to the study and randomly picking subjects we had  randomly picked subjects to listen to music or do you not listen to music.  This matched pair design with this experiment will help us compare the results at the end. ]]> 2019-04-25 06:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354003385 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354003609 For this experiment we will not be able to blind our subjects. Only because they will know if they are listening to music or not on a daily basis. The subjects will be assigned to listen to music or do you not listen to music for an hour in the car each day. There is also no double blind a part of this experiment, because our subj for this experiment we will not be able to blind our subjects. Only because they will know if they are listening to music or not on a daily basis. The subjects will be assigned to listen to music or do you not listen to music for an hour in the car each day. There is also no double blind a part of this experiment, because  amount of subjects we have is too small and we all know which subject is in which treatment group.]]> 2019-04-25 06:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354003609 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354004080  With a sample size of 100 subjects, our margin of error is at 10%. This low margin of error is good and means that the results would be a good representation of the population.]]> 2019-04-25 06:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354004080 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354005101  The subjects worked a total of 100 hours during this experiment. Each subject volunteered/agreed to be a part of this experiment so  was necessary to pay the subjects. We did thank them and appreciate their time for being a part of this experiment.
30 days x $15= $450
100 subjects x $450= $45,000

Salivary cortisol and salivary alpha-amylase (sAA), heart rate (HR), respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), subjective stress perception and anxiety were repeatedly assessed in all subjects. We hypothesized that listening to RM prior to the stress test, compared to SW or R would result in a decreased stress response across all measured parameters.]]> 2019-04-25 06:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354006398 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354006523
Our findings indicate that music listening impacted the psychobiological stress system. Listening to music prior to a standardized stressor predominantly affected the autonomic nervous system (in terms of a faster recovery), and to a lesser degree the endocrine and psychological stress response. These findings may help better understanding the beneficial effects of music on the human body.]]> 2019-04-25 06:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354006523 gehat183 https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354006567
The three conditions significantly differed regarding cortisol response (p = 0.025) to the stressor, with highest concentrations in the RM and lowest in the SW condition. After the stressor, sAA (p=0.026) baseline values were reached considerably faster in the RM group than in the R group. HR and psychological measures did not significantly differ between groups.]]> 2019-04-25 06:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gehat183/zja7t6i0gzl2/wish/354006567
