Abstract
The present study investigated the mediating role of emotion regulation
between uses of music and flourish in university students. It was
hypothesized that there would likely to be a relationship between uses of
music, emotion regulation, and flourish; and emotion regulation would
mediate the relation among uses of music and flourish. A cross-sectional
design was employed. Urdu versions of Uses of Music Inventory
(Chamorro- Premuzic & Furnham, 2007), Emotion Regulation
Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003), and PERMA (Butler & Kern, 2015)
were used. A convenient sample of 200 students including 89 men and 111
women with the age range of 18-26 years (M = 20.98, SD = 2.06) was
drawn from the private and public Universities of Lahore. Results of
Pearson Product moment correlation exhibited that there was a significant
positive relationship between uses of music, emotion regulation, and
flourish. The SEM results through AMOS revealed that emotion regulation
was found to be a significant mediator between uses of music and flourish.
The study would be useful to broaden the knowledge about the beneficial
effects of everyday music engagement on the mental health.
