Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in Heart Rate	baseline, up to 12 minutes	Heart rate will be measured using the Polar Verity Sense Optical Heart Rate Sensor in beats per minute (bpm)
Change in Skin Conductance	baseline, up to 12 minutes	Skin conductance will be measured using the NeuLog Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) in micro Siemens (µS).
Change in Anxiety Level	baseline, up to 12 minutes	The Six Item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory includes six statements that are rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1=Not at all, 2=Somewhat, 3=Moderately so, 4=Very much). The scale will measure current feelings of anxiety.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The Degree of Stress Experienced by A Nursing Student measured by the Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students (PSS) Likert Scale	up to 5 minutes	The PSS consists of 29 items that are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1=Never, 2=Seldom, 3=Sometimes, 4=Often, 5=Always). The PSS measures the degree of stress experienced by a nursing student based on stressful factors relevant to the demanding nursing curriculum.
Liking Song Scale (4-point Likert Scale)	up to 5 minutes	Each music playlist will consist of three songs. The participant will rate how much the participant liked each of the three songs on a 4-point Likert scale (1=Not at all, 2=Somewhat, 3=Moderately so, 4=Very much).
Familiarity Song Scale (Rating scale)	up to 5 minutes	Each music playlist will consist of three songs. The participant will indicate how familiar the participant is with each of the three songs on a rating scale (0=No, 1= I'm not sure, 2=Yes). The results of each song will be added to represent a quasi-continuous variable for how familiar the participant was with the music playlist as a whole.
