Abstract

Previous studies don’t have conclusive ideas on the effect of background music on human attention. Given many high school students study with background music nowadays, this study aims to analyze the effect of soft background music without lyrics on high school students’ attention level. 65 high school students, aged 15–17 years old, were involved in this study. 31 males and 34 females participated in this study. By using the Schulte Grid as the attention test, researchers examined participants’ performance with and without the background music to see whether there was a significant difference or not. The comparison results revealed that soft background music without lyrics has positive effects on attention. The findings suggest that listening soft background music while studying improves high school students’ attention level and thus increases their learning efficiency.
