  Increasingly

  young people are using various forms of technology in the service of communicating with others

  and many have noted the possibility of various dire consequences of this phenomenon

  including sexting

  cyberbullying

  online harassment

  and Internet addiction. In our own survey of over 300 adolescents

  we found that texting and face-to-face communication were considered the most \"convenient\" forms of communication

  while face-to-face communication and phone conversations were perceived as most likely to lead to \"feeling understood\" and \"feeling intimate.\" Face-to-face communication and texting were perceived as most likely to result in feeling regret for sharing too much information. By choosing to communicate through technology

  many young people

  including our patients

  can continue to be social and

  at the same time

  keep a somewhat safer emotional distance.

  The objective of the present study was to examine the emotional states of late adolescent/emerging adult contemporary listeners of heavy-metal music as compared to non-listeners. A sample of 551 college students were assessed on music preference and on symptoms of depression

  anxiety

  and trait-anger. Fifty seven percent (n = 315) of the sample indicated a preference for heavy-metal/hard rock music. The high rate of preference may be due to the geographic location of the data collection site

  being somewhat close in proximity to where modern heavy-metal subgenres are popular. We hypothesized that participants who listen to heavy-metal music would report higher levels of depression

  anxiety

  and trait anger as compared to participants who do not listen to heavy metal music. As predicted

  analyses of variance indicated significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression by listeners of heavy-metal/hard rock music as compared to non-listeners. The groups differed most on level of anxiety. The groups did not significantly differ on trait-anger. Analyses of specific subgenres of heavy-metal indicated significant differences on measures of dysphoric mood between non-listeners and listeners of several but not all of the subgenres. These findings help to establish an emotional profile of a predominantly adolescent sample of heavy-metal/hard rock listeners. Implications for future research include examining and characterizing the temporal sequence of dysphoric mood and music preference.

  Heavy-Metal Music and Emotional Dysphoria Among Listeners

  The Science and Psychology Behind Music and Emotion

  Music has been used for thousands of years as a means of emotional expression. The goals of this paper are to (a) review current literature on how music induces emotion (b) explore the mechanisms of how this happens both physiologically and psychologically and (c) to look at the role of desired effect and musical preference to move towards a general conclusion of what drives listeners' musical choices. This paper approaches this by looking at structural theories of music including those of Krumhansl (1997) that music has inherent qualities that instill specific responses in the listener. The paper then continues by addressing a Jungian perspective often employed in music therapy. Here

  music is used to express what is otherwise inexpressible. The Behavioral Perspective section postulates that music can prime listeners by making them predisposed through associations to feel positive or negative emotions. This theory is carried over to an analysis of music and consumerism where emotional priming can serve as a bridge to an association with a product. The Physiological Effects section explores research on music's somatic connection indicating that pleasant music reduces stress and may decrease the body's post-stress responses. The Music and Performance section analyzes the Mozart effect and its potential relationship to the arousal and mood hypothesis

  stating that the improved spatial IQ scores recorded in the Mozart effect may have more to do with the arousal generated by all classical music rather than Mozart's music itself. The paper concludes with an analysis of what drives listeners and the Arnett (1991a; 1991b; 1992) heavy metal studies

  which show that music is the way adolescents deal with emotional upheaval and how music can be used as a means of achieving catharsis.

  The Science and Psychology Behind Music and Emotion

  The primary distinguishing element between the practice of clinical psychiatry and applied psychology is the right to prescribe. Since 1995

  the American Psychological Association has made it official policy to pursue such rights for those holding doctoral degrees in applied psychology

  much to the discontentment and resistance of their colleagues in psychiatry. This paper assesses the history and current state of affairs of the debate to further psychologists’ right to prescribe through a review of current literature

  utilizing the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct of the American Psychological Association. This paper adds to the debate as to whether psychologists’ prescription privileges

  without the full training in medicine afforded to psychiatrists

  could ever fall within a psychologists’ scope of competence. It is further argued that by the current state of policy and training for prescription privileges

  the risks appear to outweigh the gains. Steps can

  and indeed must

  be taken to ensure proper doctoral training

  and continuing education in order for prescription privileges to be viable for applied psychologists. Several important considerations reviewed herein must be addressed before such training could be ethically feasible.
