Research database on the impact of music education on adolescents' subjective well-being under the perspective of sustainable development: based on bibliometrics from 2000 to 2024

This study conducted a systematic literature review on the impact of music education on adolescents' subjective well-being under the perspective of sustainable development. Based on the PICO framework, a search strategy was constructed, and adolescents aged 6-18, sustainable music education practices, conventional control environments without music education, and multidimensional indicators of subjective well-being were embedded in interdisciplinary database retrieval (covering Web of Science, ProQuest, and MEDLINE). Multi-level keyword expansion was used to ensure the comprehensiveness of literature collection. The study strictly followed the PRISMA standard to implement a four-stage screening. After data preprocessing, initial screening of title keywords, literature integrity verification, and full-text strong relevance review, 76 high-quality documents were finally included from the 2568 documents initially retrieved. In the data processing stage, tools such as Zotero, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were integrated to analyze the time distribution, interdisciplinary characteristics, and core variable correlation of the literature, and to build a structured database in the research field of "sustainable development-music education-adolescent well-being", which provides a replicable scientific analysis framework for revealing the current status of research in this field, evolutionary laws, and subsequent educational policy formulation and intervention research.
