Want to improve your mood and productivity? A new study has suggested that playing baroque music in the reading room can improve your mood and productivity.

The study was conducted on eight radiologists. The study rated their mood, concentration, perceived diagnostic accuracy, productivity and work satisfaction on a seven-point scale. The greatest positive effects were noted with regard to mood and work satisfaction, with 63 percent and 50 percent of respondents reporting a positive impact.

No participants indicated a negative effect on mood, perceived diagnostic accuracy, productivity or work satisfaction. Only one participant (12.5 percent) indicated a negative effect of music on concentration.

The environmental factors will improve the work environment of the stressful workload on these days. Listening to music aids concentration and interpretative abilities. Other studies have correlated baroque classical music with improved spatial reasoning, attentiveness and concentration.

Researchers at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, MD, Harbor Hospital in Baltimore, MD, and the University of Pennsylvania Health System in Philadelphia, PA, conducted the study.
