The purpose is to understand the behavioral, social, and psychological factors that contribute to the positive effects of this intervention.
Participants in the study will engage in music-based play activities. These activities are designed to be interactive and supportive, focusing on improving emotional well-being. The study aims to identify which variables contribute to the success of the intervention and determine for whom it is most effective.
