An ecological momentary music intervention for the reduction of acute stress in daily life: A mixed methods feasibility study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Despite the growing potential of mobile-based technologies, innovative interventions targeting the reduction of acute stress in daily life remain under-researched. Music listening is an easy-to-administer activity that is associated with lower levels of biological and self-reported stress.
