A need for expression of the human condition has always been a Challenge with our limited vocabulary of words! the guitar as well as many other forms of music as well as art allows us to speak in languages beyond words, as all Communication of words is only a small part of the message, What do I mean ? body language and volume or intonation of Speech has larger value than the words spoken themselves
I have read something about the ergonomic guitar technique. It’s basically how guitar playing techniques affect a player psychologically and physically. There’s actually a translated book regarding Ergonomic Guitar Technique and I’d like to quote on some things written on it, it might help your research.
“The method Ergonomic guitar technique takes the individual behind the instrument as its starting point, thus creating a technique that makes the best use of the human resources. The method deals not only with the guitar technique, but also discusses the playing in relation to physical and psychological well-being. Injuries and tensions can often be a serious impediment to a guitar player’s development and progress, and may in some cases totally ruin the joy of playing. These injuries are the effects of the way in which we use our body and mind during playing, but can be avoided through a greater understanding and knowledge of the physical effects of guitar playing.
Psychological factors, such as stress and heavy demands, may have a negative influence on both learning ability and the way in which the player relates to his or her progress as a musician. The Ergonomic guitar technique therefore aims to gain an understanding of our way of thinking and how we can adapt our playing, body and mind to one another in a positive way.”

Try here to start:
It has probably gotten more guys laid than beer. I would say that is certainly a positive effect.
All I can say is…playing guitar has stopped me from subscribing to gun magazines.
