Despite growing popular interest for the mental health of electronic music artists, scientific research addressing this topic has remained largely absent. As such, the aim of the current study was to examine the mental health of electronic music artists, as well as a number of determinants. Using a cross-sectional quantitative design, a total of 163 electronic music artists participated in this study. In line with the two-continua model of mental health, both symptoms of depression/anxiety and well-being were adopted as indicators for mental health. Furthermore, standardized measures were used to assess potential determinants of mental health, including sleep disturbance, music performance anxiety, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, occupational stress, resilience, and social support. Results highlighted that around 30% of participants experienced symptoms of depression/anxiety. Nevertheless, the majority of these participants still demonstrated at least moderate levels of functioning and well-being. Sleep disturbance formed a significant predictor for both symptoms of depression/anxiety and well-being. Furthermore, resilience and social support were significant predictors for well-being. The results provide a first glimpse into the mental health challenges experienced by electronic music artists and support the need for increased research as well as applied initiatives directed at safeguarding their mental health.

尽管人们越来越关注电子音乐艺术家的心理健康，但仍缺乏针对这一主题的科学研究。因此，本研究的目的是检验电子音乐艺术家的心理健康状况以及许多决定因素。使用横断面定量设计，总共163名电子音乐艺术家参加了这项研究。与心理健康的两连续性模型一致，抑郁/焦虑症状和人们将幸福作为心理健康的指标。此外，还使用标准化措施来评估心理健康的潜在决定因素，包括睡眠障碍，音乐表演焦虑，酗酒，滥用药物，职业压力，适应力和社会支持。结果表明，大约30％的参与者经历了抑郁/焦虑症状。然而，这些参与者中的大多数仍然表现出至少中等水平的功能和幸福感。睡眠障碍是抑郁/焦虑和幸福感的重要预测指标。此外，复原力和社会支持是幸福感的重要预测指标。
