Music listening was measured using the Musical Coping and Responsivity Scale (MCRS) and resilience was measured using the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale-10 (CD RISC10). Online concentration was measured by devising a questionnaire with questions regarding concentration during online lectures. A total number 118 respondents were included in this study, aged between 18-63 years old. A hierarchical linear regression analysis was performed to assess the amount of variance in online concentration that could be explained by music listening, after controlling for resilience. The results show that both resilience and music listening explain a significant proportion of the variance in online concentration, even after controlling for correlations between variables. The findings suggest that being a highly resilient individual positively influences online concentration and that listening to music often on a day-to-day basis negatively influences online concentration.Show less
