What is singing?
One study from Michigan has shown that this tradition can increase physical and psychological well-being as well as increasing social bonds between people that sing together (Keeler et al., 2015). In the study, the scientists investigated the neurochemistry and social flow of group singing. They found the group singing lead to a decrease of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a marker of stress and arousal. Thus, group singing seems to decrease stress. Moreover, improvised group singing leads to an increase in oxytocin, a hormone that has been linked to social bonding in humans. This shows that singing together increase social bonding between the people that sing.
