被撤回的出版物: The role of classical music in the creative thinking of university students (Retracted article. See vol. 46, 2022)

The purpose of the work is to evaluate individual preferences of listening to classical music among students and their influence on the formation of creative thinking during the educational process. The study was carried out in 2019 at Zhengzhou Normal University. 200 students, aged 19-22 years, from 7 faculties, 1-4 years of study took part in the study. Group 1 consisted of 98 students who occasionally listened to music (no more than 2 times a week for half an hour), group 2 - 102 students who listened to classical music regularly. All students passed tests aimed at finding out the general characteristics of different aspects of creative thinking with connection to their personality, their relationship to the time continuum, a type of self-control. Prolonged listening to loud music, even classical, develop creative thinking and at the same time can lead to a loss of self-control and a partial loss of sense of reality in a listener. The volume of music correlates with the desire to hear a rhythm (r = 0.30, p < 0.01), with the frequency of listening to music (r = 0.35, p < 0.01). There is a correlation between music rhythm and such protective psychological mechanisms as the substitution (r = 0.32, p < 0.002), regression (r = 0.28, p < 0.008), compensation (r = 0.25, p < 0.04), as well as tension (r = 0.24, p < 0.02).

Automated summary

The study aims to evaluate students' individual preferences for listening to classical music and their impact on the development of creative thinking during the educational process. Findings suggest that prolonged listening to loud music, including classical music, can enhance creative thinking but may also result in loss of self-control and partial loss of reality perception. The volume of music is correlated with the desire for rhythm and frequency of listening.
