摘要

Music is widely used as an emotion regulation resource, yet music preference is often conceptualized as a stable taste rather than as a context-sensitive processing tendency expressed under affective demand. Drawing on processing fluency and experiential engagement frameworks, the present study examined whether an experiential music preference composite—integrating emotional connectedness and familiarity—modulates the association between anxiety and psychological resilience. Across specifications, the anxiety–resilience association increased as MF_EF increased; this conditional pattern was most evident for state anxiety, whereas the incremental moderating contribution in trait-anxiety models was smaller after accounting for MF_04. These results suggest that emotionally meaningful and familiar music engagement may be better characterized as a conditional experiential resource that becomes salient under transient anxiety, rather than a uniform buffer. These findings refine feature-level accounts of music-based emotion regulation by distinguishing experiential engagement from structural preference processes, while also underscoring the correlational nature of the evidence and the need for longitudinal and cross-cultural validation.
