Psychologist Marjolein D. van der Zwaag has argued that listening to music while driving can have an affect on driving performance. She and her team conducted a study where they placed 19 participants in a driving simulator while they played positive music, negative music, or no music at all. Each driver's' heart rate, respiratory rate, general mood, and performance in lanes of two differing widths (wide and narrow) were all measured and recorded.Which finding from the researchers' study, if true, would most strongly support Zwaag's claim? While listening to positive music, drivers reported experiencing a more positive mood, while drivers who listened to negative music or no music reported similar, generally negative moods. eliminateThe researchers noted an overall increase in the respiratory rates of the drivers who listened to music, but recorded generally no affect on the drivers' heart rates. eliminateConcentration increased across all three groups (positive music, negative music, and no music) when driving in narrower lanes, which led to a general decrease in swerving than was present when driving in wider lanes. eliminateParticipants listening to positive music generally drove at lower speeds throughout the whole study, which led to the least amount of swerving in narrow lanes in any group.

Solution
The finding that would most strongly support Zwaag's claim is: "Participants listening to positive music generally drove at lower speeds throughout the whole study, which led to the least amount of swerving in narrow lanes in any group." This finding directly links the type of music listened to (positive music) with a specific change in driving performance (lower speeds and less swerving), which is what Zwaag's claim is about.

Which of the statements below best summarises the link between Positive Psychology and Music and Health as presented in the video on musical flourishing?Group of answer choices The wellbeing and happiness orientation of positive psychology offers a strengths-based way to conceptualise the role of musicking to promote mental health. The frame of positive psychology can help us to understand whether people’s chosen engagement in music will promote happiness or unhappiness in their lives Music is most helpful in supporting an engaged life, because the concept of flow is closely linked to musical experiences by both musicians and non-musicians.

In what way poor health affect listening?
A researcher is interested in the pleasure that people obtain from listening to music whilst varying both the volume and the tempo (speed) of the music. 12 participants and randomly allocated into two groups. The different groups listen to the music at different volumes, i.e. soft and loud. The two groups of participants were given three pieces of classical music to listen to. Each piece of music was slow, medium, or fast. Participants were asked to rate how much they enjoyed the music on a 20-point scale where 20 points is highly enjoyable and 1 point is not at all enjoyable.In this study, there was a total of _____ conditions, and each participant took part in ______ condition(s)6; 26; 16; 3
