As a music psychology scholar, Dr Amanda Krause studies how we experience music in our everyday lives from a psychological perspective. Findings from her research have made significant contributions to understanding how listening technologies influence people's experiences and her current research asks how our musical experiences influence our health and well-being. Dr Krause is the author of numerous academic publications, the details of which can be found under the 'Publications' tab or by visiting her website or Google Scholar.
External engagement and research translation is fundamental to her research. She works with music industry companies, performing arts organisations, mental health practices, radio providers, and aged-care facilities to conduct community-focused and community-engaged research. Since 2017, Dr Krause has attracted more than $88,629 AUD in research income. Recent funded programs of research have examined on how radio engagement can support the well-being of older adults and migrant communities. She has also spoken on her research to academics and industry leaders at conferences around the world, to students through programs like Skype A Scientist and STEM Professionals in Schools, and to members of the general public via radio show appearances and events like Pint of Science.
Researcher Development and Student/HDR/Post-Doc Supervision Dr. Krause is also committed to the development of future researchers. She mentors undergraduate and post-graduate student-researchers. In previous roles, she has worked to establish Early Career Researcher networks. At JCU, Dr Krause coordinates a Research Internship program for undergraduate students in Psychology. She is interested in receiving enquiries from ambitious and self-motivated students who are interested in pursuing research on the role of music in everyday life. [JCU offers scholarships, including the Elizabeth Pearse Music Scholarship.] More information about possible topics and her approach to student supervision can be found on her website, including her advising philosophy.
Service She currently serves as President of the Australian Music & Psychology Society (AMPS) and actively contributes to other international professional organisations for music psychology, including the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music (ESCOM), Society for Music Perception and Cognition (SMPC), and Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research (SEMPRE). Dr Krause is an Associate Editor for Psychology of Music and regularly serves as an external reviewer of manuscripts for peer-review, postgraduate theses, and grant applications. She has served on conference planning committees, most recently including the 2022 AMPS conference and 2023 ISPS conference.

Radio relationships and well-being in older age
- Indicative Funding
- $19,898 over 3 years
- Summary
- This project addresses a need for non-invasive, cost-effective solutions to assist older Australians in managing their well-being. It aims to examine the role of radio relationships, including those developed between presenters and listeners and amongst presenters, in improving older Australians? psychosocial well-being. It seeks to explore how the radio can promote individual and community well-being using participatory methods and a multi-phase, mixed methods design. Expected outcomes include evidence relating to the characteristics of listening and production practices that enhance experiences of social connection and social well-being; and substantiating the mechanisms underpinning these benefits. An evidence-based resource will be produced.
