  1. The sample consisted of 143 participants who were randomly assigned to either a music group or a control group. Following the CO2 stress, the music group listened to positive music and the control group was presented with an auditory control stimulus. Groups were balanced with regard to group size (n), male/female ratio, age, body height, body weight and body mass index (means, with standard deviation in parentheses). BMI: body mass index.
