Exploring The Stress-relieving Effect Of Rock Music On College Students Based On Heart Rate Variability Data Monitorin

Research on music stress relief has mainly focused on its theoretical research at home and abroad,but there is relatively little empirical research on the effect of music stress relief.This article mainly uses survey questionnaires and experimental testing methods to evaluate the role of rock music in alleviating college students’ tension using the physiological data indicator of heart rate variability monitored by Apple Watch.Heart rate variability is the periodic variation of heart beat,which contains information about the balance state of the nervous system.The "breathing" function in the Apple Watch can force the measurement of heart rate variability data.Although the Apple Watch is a short-term test,its measured values can still reflect the activity of the autonomic nervous system(ANS),and the measurement results have good reliability and consistency.Taking college students from Shanghai Normal University as the research object,I conducted a questionnaire survey to analyze the current level of preference for music among college students.In my "Questionnaire on College Students’ Cognition of Rock Music",162 out of 176 participants often or occasionally listen to rock music,indicating that rock music is still relatively popular among young people.In my personal experimental testing,by observing the changes in heart rate variability data,it can be seen that rock music has a soothing effect on college students.
