Music-based emotion regulation: a bibliometric systematic review (2000-2024)
1School of Music, Chengdu Normal University, Chengdu, China.
Background:
Music Emotion Regulation (MER) research has emerged as a significant field in mental health intervention, yet a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of its development and current status is lacking.
Purpose:
This research aims to systematically analyze the knowledge structure, research trends, and development patterns in MER research through bibliometric analysis.
Methods:
Using data from the Web of Science Core Collection (2000-2024), we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis using R for primary analyses. We examined publication trends, collaboration networks, research themes, and emerging directions through multiple bibliometric indicators including co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence, and research theme evolution.
Results:
The analysis revealed three distinct development phases of MER research: initial exploration (2000-2009), rapid growth (2010-2019), and maturation (2020-2024). Research in the field demonstrates a clear transition from theoretical foundations to practical applications, with increasing methodological sophistication and cross-disciplinary integration. International collaboration networks show a "tri-polar" pattern centered in East Asia, Europe, and North America, with distinctive regional research characteristics.
Conclusion:
MER research has evolved into a mature, interdisciplinary field with robust theoretical foundations and practical applications. Future development trends point toward increased integration of artificial intelligence, personalized intervention strategies, and expanded international collaboration.
