Exploring music-listening as vehicle to design for well-being; specifically by the potential of integrating emotional regulation strategies into the activity. The three features are the following:
1_a feature that prompts people to engage with objects mindfully
2_a feature that helps people tune the salience of stimuli if they deem it appropriate,
3_ feature that allows people to selectively document and curate their positive experiences during and after the fact.
The greater argument of my thesis is that the above feature can apply to an intrinsically pleasurable activity (such as cooking, walking, drawing, etc). The music-listening device is one of many potential outcomes of this position.

Why emotional regulation?
Emotions play an influential role in marking important memories, motivating thoughts, actions and behavior. A person experiencing positive emotions is friendlier, more cooperative, creative, willing to try new and diverse activities, physically and mentally healthier and forms lasting social bonds.

Positive psychology is a field that concerns itself with positive behaviors, thoughts and feelings. Positive psychology interventions are tools, methods and activities that aim to cultivate the latter.

Design’s multidisciplinary nature can bring innovations that overcome the limitations of traditional Positive Psychology Interventions (PPIs). It can make PPIs more accessible, convenient, more personally and contextually relevant.
