Abstract
The effects of music on the behaviors of 5 to 8 emotionally disturbed adolescents were investigated. Six behavioral categories of aggressive motor, aggressive verbal, disruptive motor, disruptive verbal, nondisruptive/off task, and on task, were monitored in class daily for 40 min. for 12 wk. to assess whether three conditions of “sedative,” “stimulating,” and “no music” influenced the frequency of these behaviors. Analysis indicated no significant differences in frequencies of any of the six behavior categories among music conditions.Keywords
