*2.5. Perceived Changes in Music-Listening Behavior*

A custom questionnaire was developed that included twelve items, which evaluated how the participants perceived the changes before the lockdown versus during the lockdown with regard to various aspects of music-listening behavior on a 5-point Likert scale from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). These aspects included changes arising from the restrictions in place and resulting changes in daily routines during the lockdown: that is, media usage, missing live events, social distancing, and situations and reasons for listening to music. The items and the content was similar to other current studies on music and COVID-19 [31,34], i.e., asking indirectly whether a behavior was higher or lower during the lockdown than before.
