Why music makes a person stronger

Researchers believe that music conveys a special energy, setting up the victory. To further explore the influence of the musical compositions on the mental state of listeners was carried out a special experiment. According to the publication Business Standard, was selected for the study 31 the track. All the songs are "cut" into 30-second fragments and distributed power. For example, among the more powerful was invigorating songs We Will Rock You of Queen and 2 Unlimited Get Ready for This 2 Unlimited groups, to the less powerful took a relaxing compositions Because We Can musician Fatboy Slim and " Who Let the Dogs Out Baha Men team.

Selected tracks was given at the audition, the researchers then studied the psychological state of the participants of the experiment. It turned out that when listening to more powerful compositions participants often saw the forest instead of the trees (the tendency to abstract thinking) and felt a sense of control over the social events, as well as the desire and confidence of victory over competitors.

To determine the influence of the music, the text was excluded from the compositions. Then it became clear that listeners of music with powerful bass felt stronger. Such participants when passing a specific test was chosen more words related to power.

Thus, scientists determined the impact of musical works on three generally accepted indicator of the sense of power: the desire to be the first to start the competition, abstract thinking, and a sense of control over current events.

Scientists explain this pattern "theory of contagion". According to her principle, when listening to certain music, arise sensations and experiences that are "impressed" with this music.
