Although the fields of music psychology and music therapy share many common interests, research collaboration between the two fields is still somewhat rare. Previous work has identified that disciplinary identities and attitudes towards those in other disciplines are challenges to effective interdisciplinary research. The current study explores such attitudes in music therapy and music psychology. A sample of 123 music therapists and music psychologists answered an online survey regarding their attitudes towards potential interdisciplinary work between the two fields. Analysis of results suggested that participants’ judgements of the attitudes of members of the other discipline were not always accurate. Music therapists indicated a high degree of interest in interdisciplinary research, although in free text answers, both music psychologists and music therapists frequently characterized music therapists as disinterested in science. Music therapists reported seeing significantly greater relevance of music psychology to their own work than did music psychologists of music therapists. Participants’ attitudes were modestly related to their reported personality traits and held values. Results overall indicated interest in, and positive expectations of, interdisciplinary attitudes in both groups, and should be explored in future research.

重新开启音乐心理学与音乐治疗之间的对话

尽管音乐心理学和音乐治疗领域有许多共同的兴趣，但这两个领域之间的研究合作仍然少之又少。以前的工作已经确定，学科身份和对其他学科的态度是有效跨学科研究的挑战。目前的研究探讨了音乐治疗和音乐心理学中的这种态度。123 名音乐治疗师和音乐心理学家的样本回答了一项关于他们对两个领域之间潜在跨学科工作的态度的在线调查。结果分析表明，参与者对其他学科成员态度的判断并不总是准确的。音乐治疗师对跨学科研究表现出高度的兴趣，尽管在自由文本答案中，音乐心理学家和音乐治疗师都经常将音乐治疗师描述为对科学不感兴趣。音乐治疗师报告说，与音乐治疗师的音乐心理学家相比，音乐心理学与他们自己的工作的相关性明显更高。参与者的态度与他们报告的人格特征和持有的价值观适度相关。结果总体表明对两组跨学科态度的兴趣和积极期望，应在未来的研究中进行探索。参与者的态度与他们报告的人格特征和持有的价值观适度相关。结果总体表明对两组跨学科态度的兴趣和积极期望，应在未来的研究中进行探索。参与者的态度与他们报告的人格特征和持有的价值观适度相关。结果总体表明对两组跨学科态度的兴趣和积极期望，应在未来的研究中进行探索。
