|a This thesis examines the relationship between personality type, music preference and music choice. Research on music has shown that individuals prefer certain genres (e.g. jazz or hip/hop) and choose music for different reasons (e.g. listening to music for social or emotional reasons). Studies done on music preference and choice suggest that certain personality types prefer specific genres of music. The following four hypotheses were explored: 1) individuals high in neuroticism would endorse the emotional use of music, and prefer classical music; 2) individuals low in extraversion would endorse listening to music for emotional reasons and not prefer classical music; 3) individuals high on the extraversion scale would endorse the social reasons for listening to music and would prefer hip-hop and reggae music; and 4) individuals high on the openness scale would endorse listening to music for emotional reasons and would prefer a wide range of music types. Participants (N= 237) completed a demographic questionnaire, the Reasons for Listening to Music Survey, the Music Choice Survey, and the Mini-International Personality Item Pool (Mini-IPIP). A series of Bivariate correlations were performed on the data. The findings showed that hypotheses 1 and 2 were not supported. However, hypotheses 3 was wholly supported, and hypothesis 4 was partially supported. It may be that American adolescents do not use music or listen to music for the same reasons as other adolescents. Overall, the study supports past research showing that personality differences in music preference and reasons for music choice. |
