인공지능 기반 음악심리상담 교육프로그램이 초등학생의 정서, 자아 탄력성, 주관적 안녕감에 미치는 영향 연구

This study aimed to examine the effects of an AI-based music psychotherapy education program on the holistic psychological development of elementary school students. To achieve this, a single-group pretest–posttest experimental design was employed, applying an eight-week program conducted once a week for 40 minutes with a total of 70 elementary school students. The analysis revealed the following results. First, in terms of emotional change, positive emotions significantly increased while negative emotions significantly decreased. All sub-factors of ego-resilience showed statistically significant improvements from pretest to posttest. Finally, subjective well-being also significantly increased after the program. Comparisons across groups indicated that lower-grade students experienced greater emotional changes than upper-grade students, and students with prior counseling experience showed greater improvement in specific areas. This study holds academic significance as it is the first to empirically verify the effectiveness of AI-based music psychotherapy for general elementary school students, and as it identifies comprehensive effects across multidimensional psychological variables. However, limitations such as internal validity concerns due to the absence of a control group and constraints on generalizability are acknowledged. Future studies should adopt more rigorous experimental designs and conduct long-term follow-up research.
