Abstract

This research paper mainly focused on the impact of spiritual folk songs on mental exhaustion caused by various activities related to a person's daily life. For this experimental study 120 samples (46 male and 74 female) were selected randomly from the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Single group pre-test and post-test design was implemented in this study. After listening the spiritual folk songs for 30 days, the post-test was conducted. It was found that the mean scores of Pre-tests and Post-test were M = 44.84 and M = 31.47 respectively. The value of ‘t’ was t = 14.474 which was highly significant at 0.01 level of confidence. The findings revealed that spiritual folk music had a significant impact on mental exhaustion. Thus, listening to spiritual folk songs enhances people's mental happiness and spiritual peace, which reduces their mental exhaustion.
