Summary
This study tested whether listening to music with AI-generated verbal guidance that uses Eastern imagery can reduce anxiety and improve mood in Chinese university students. 123 participants were randomly assigned to music with AI guidance, standard relaxation guidance, or music alone for a single 25-30 minute session. Anxiety, emotions, and heart rate were measured before and after to see if the culturally adapted guidance made a difference.
