Aesthetic ability cultivation on autistic college students in music education psychology

Abstract

Background

Autistic patients often exhibit social impairments and have a longer recovery period. The cultivation of musical aesthetic ability will expand the interests and hobbies of the trainees and alleviate social pressure. Therefore, the cultivation of musical aesthetic ability can be used in research on treating students with autism.

Subjects and Methods

In order to analyze the effectiveness of cultivating musical aesthetic ability in the treatment of autism among college students, the study randomly selected 60 college students with autism and divided them into two groups. One group is a blank group, which only receives conventional treatment. The other group is the experimental group, where patients in the experimental group receive routine treatment while also developing their musical aesthetic abilities. Two groups of experimental personnel were evaluated using the Children’s Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and the Kirschner Autism Behavior Scale (CABS) before and after the experiment.

Results

Before the experiment, the CARS scores of the blank group and the experimental group were 34.83 ± 1.25 and 33.46 ± 2.06, respectively. After the experiment, the scores changed to 30.26 ± 2.81 and 28.16 ± 2.05, respectively. In the evaluation of the CABS scale, the scores of the blank group and the experimental group before the experiment were 16.26 ± 2.06 and 16.59 ± 1.75, respectively. After the experiment, the scores of the two groups were 15.73 ± 1.74 and 13.71 ± 2.05, respectively.

Conclusions

The cultivation of musical aesthetic ability in vocal music teaching in universities has an excellent therapeutic effect on autism among college students.
