Evidence suggests music listening and personality can protect against the negative repercussions of everyday stress. Though there is extensive literature on the role of music listening and personality for stress management, genres and traits perceived to be socially aversive have been under-researched in relation to stress, possibly due to their perceived undesirability outside this context. There

Transforming human movement into live sound can be used as a method to enhance motor skill learning via the provision of augmented perceptual feedback. A small but growing number of studies hint at the substantial efficacy of this approach, termed 'movement sonification'. However there has been sparse discussion in Psychology about how movement should be mapped onto sound to best facilitate learni
