If I were to conduct a research study, I would choose to research the impacts of different types of music on stress levels. My test subjects would be a group of people aged 18-35 who self-identify as having high levels of stress in their everyday lives. In order to conduct this study, I would have them fill out baseline questionnaires assessing their current stress levels and then randomly assign each individual into one of three groups: Group A being exposed to classical music, Group B exposed Jazz/Blues music, and Group C being exposed to no music at all. After a set period of time (approximately 1 month) they would then fill out the same questionnaire again and the results will be compared in order to determine which type of music has the most beneficial effect on reducing levels of stress.
I expect that the results will demonstrate that both classical and jazz/blues music have measurable effects in reducing overall stress levels when compared with no exposure; however it is also plausible that one genre may show greater efficacy than the other depending upon individual preference or life context.
