The effects of clay-work on the clients’ mental states have been clarified through previous qualitative studies in the field and in the area of clinical psychology, mainly in psychotherapy, art therapy, and family therapy. In contrast, my previous quantitative study used a profile of mood state (POMS) and electroencephalography to show that clay-work has the effect of reducing stress. Previous studies revealed that listening to music has a similar effect. Based on these findings, it was hypothesized that a combination of clay-work and listening to music may reduce stress more effectively. However, no study has been conducted to verify this hypothesis until now.  To verify the above-mentioned hypothesis, this study compared the rates of change of the mean POMS scores of the following four groups: (1) clay-work group; (2) listening to music group; (3) clay-work + listening to music group; and (4) control group. As a result of this comparison, it was found that the rates of change of the mean POMS scores were higher in the groups other than the control group and that the rate of change was especially higher in the clay-work + listening to music group. These findings verified the hypothesis of this study.  For students aiming to become childcare workers, it is very important to learn some methods to reduce stress. According to some studies performed in Japan, one of the reasons that childcare workers resign is stress caused by interpersonal relationships. It is thought that the job separation rate might be reduced by teaching the students clay-work combined with listening to music as a simple and easy method of reducing stress before they find a job in the childcare field.}, pages = {117--125}, title = {音楽聴取が保育学生の気分に及ぼす影響―粘土作業との比較を通して―}, volume = {38}, year = {2016}, yomi = {ヤマワキ, マユミ} }
