Abstract: This research objective was to investigate the effect of internet-guided music intervention in managing stress among university student’s in Nigeria. Out of 400 student’s surveyed 70 undergraduate student’s who were having high stress participated in the study. The 70 eligible participant’s were randomized into one of two study groups, music intervention group (n = 35) and waitlist control group (n = 35) using computer-generated random numbers. All participant’s completed baseline evaluation and posttests at 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Participant’s completed the perceived stress scale. The statistical tool used for data analysis was within and between ANOVA. Results revealed that music intervention is an effective measure for managing stress among university student’s. Further studies need to ascertain and corroborate how academic productivity can be achieved using music intervention among university student’s.
