The objective of this study was to determine whether a lyrically based musical intervention, the theme song for change, or a positive writing exercise would impact participants’ emotional state-based components when thinking about the achievement of a short-term goal. Fifty participants (N = 46) were randomly assigned to either the theme song for change condition (n = 25) or the writing condition (n = 21). Before the intervention, participants in both conditions individually selected a short-term goal that they could achieve within two weeks. Participants completed a pretest, developed their short-term goal, received one of the two conditions, then completed the posttest. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA found significant increases in vitality for the theme song group. Both theme song and positive writing groups significantly increased the participants’ positive affect and decreased their worry. Further, only the participants in the theme song group had experienced significant impacts on decreasing negative affect and anxiety and increasing euthymia. Limitations and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.

本研究的目的是确定基于抒情的音乐干预、变革的主题曲或积极的写作练习是否会影响参与者在考虑实现短期目标时基于情绪状态的组成部分。50 名参与者 ( N  = 46) 被随机分配到主题曲更改条件 ( n  = 25) 或写作条件 ( n = 21）。在干预之前，两种情况的参与者都单独选择了一个他们可以在两周内实现的短期目标。参与者完成预测试，制定短期目标，接受两个条件之一，然后完成后测试。双向重复测量方差分析发现主题曲组的活力显着增加。主题歌组和积极写作组均显着增加了参与者的积极影响并减少了他们的担忧。此外，只有主题歌组的参与者在减少负面情绪和焦虑以及增加幸福感方面经历了显着的影响。讨论了研究结果的局限性和临床意义。
