The present study examined the effects of fast and slow non-contingent music on worker productivity, quality and morale while performing simple and complex folding tasks. Subjects (n = 40) were employees of a large health care facility. A multiple baseline design was implemented. A pair of two-way ANOVAs revealed no significant differences between fast, slow and no music for either mean production rates or mean quality scores. A series of two-way ANOVAs revealed no significant differences between fast, slow and no music for either mean production rates or mean quality scores. A series of two-way ANOVAs, analyzing behavioral data, revealed no significant differences in mean percentages of overall positive and negative interaction or positive and negative work statements. Subjects' responses on a pre- and posttest questionnaire were indicative of a strong preference for music while working. / Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 28-04, page: 0474. / Major Professor: Jayne M.
