Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between music listening purposes and emotional well-being among undergraduate students. A survey was administered to 50 undergraduate students aged 18 to 22 from several universities in Urgench, Uzbekistan. Participants reported their main purposes for listening to music, how frequently they use music to cope with negative emotions, and completed the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Results indicated that mood management and relaxation
were the most frequently reported listening purposes, with 60% of participants using music to cope with negative emotions at least occasionally.
