This study was to examine the effects of therapeutic music activity on migrant workers' depression, social interaction anxiety and acculturative stress reduction. The subjects were 35 migrant workers in Gyeonggi Province. The groups were divided into the two : the experimental group and the control group. 19 were assigned to the experimental group, and 16 to the control group. The experimental group participated in 12 sessions of therapeutic music activities consisting of 45 minutes per session, while the control group continued their daily activities. The results were as follows: First, the differences in depression score between the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant. Second, The differences in Social Interaction Anxiety score between the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant. Third, the differences in the acculturative stress scores between the experimental group and the control group were not statistically significant but the mean score of the experimental group was decreased.
