Sažetak
The aim of the research was to examine the contribution of
personality traits and the functions of listening to music to the
explanation of psychological well-being, and to determine
whether the contribution of the functions of music to the
explanation of the psychological well-being of musicians and
nonmusicians differs. The research was conducted on a
sample of a total of 876 participants, students of music
academies and students of other study programmes from
Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro.
The following instruments were used in the research: a
general data questionnaire, an emotional stability scale, an
intellect scale, a shortened version of the psychological well-
-being scale and a shortened version of the music listening
function scale. The results showed that musicians and non-
-musicians differ in personality traits (musicians scored
higher on both traits) and in the functions of music listening,
whereby non-musicians listen to music more for stress and
affect regulation, while for musicians, awe and appreciation,
strong emotional experience, and identity are more
important functions of music. Personality traits were a strong
predictor of psychological well-being in both subsamples, but
in addition to them, the functions of music also showed a
significant separate contribution to psychological well-being.
The results led to the conclusion that the contribution of
functions of music listening to psychological well-being does
not differ significantly between musicians and non-musicians.
