Numerous studies have demonstrated the capacity of choral singing to improve human well-being and that, in certain sectors of society (including older adults, prison populations, underprivileged social groups, and mentally illness groups), choral singing bears several benefits. Thus, this descriptive study proposed a comprehensive structural model of the dimensions that comprise choral singing’s contribution to individual well-being and aimed to explain these benefits. The study was conducted in a non-random sample of 1,513 adult Spanish singers of both sexes and variable age. An instrument was developed to assess the psychosocial benefits of choral singing, as perceived by singers; it comprised five constituent dimensions: satisfaction, ability, group engagement, belonging, and optimism. The instrument enabled us to assess how choral singing contributed to well-being, with adequate reliability (Cronbach’s α = .917) and validity. The system of relationships proposed by the model represents a plausible explanation regarding the benefits of choral practice and singing for well-being.

许多研究已经证明合唱能够改善人类福祉，而且在社会的某些部门（包括老年人、监狱人口、弱势社会群体和精神疾病群体），合唱具有多种好处。因此，这项描述性研究提出了一个全面的维度结构模型，这些维度包括合唱对个人幸福感的贡献，并旨在解释这些好处。该研究是在 1,513 名不同年龄的成年西班牙歌手的非随机样本中进行的。开发了一种工具来评估歌手认为合唱的社会心理益处；它包括五个组成维度：满意度、能力、团队参与度、归属感和乐观主义。该工具使我们能够以足够的可靠性（Cronbach's α = .917）和有效性评估合唱对幸福感的贡献。该模型提出的关系系统代表了关于合唱练习和歌唱对幸福的好处的合理解释。
