The aim of the study is to explore whether and how the use of MP3 players can function as a medium of musical self-care, subjective well-being, and positive health. Researching the possible role of MP3 players in individuals¿ self-care, the study focuses on self-regulation and coping.  The research questions are examined implementing a qualitative, empirical study. Interviews with adult urban users of MP3 players are carried out, focusing on their experiences of this use. The interviews are analysed within a theoretical framework based on health theories and positive psychology.  Although there seem to be several risks related to the use of MP3 players ¿ hearing damage, concern about traffic safety, and issues concerning isolation and the social environment ¿ it appears that use of MP3 players also has positive consequences for users, which are presented in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783848491827\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA qualitative study on the use of MP3 players as a medium for musical self-care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783848491827","offer_id":39489811742813,"sku":"9783848491827","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/4717bd3a-50b8-4ccf-beec-dec7af1f693b.jpg?v=1777096388","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/a-technology-of-well-being-von-marie-strand-skanland","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
