- Abstract:
- The present study examined the effects of sexually explicit rap music and heavy metal music on college student’s attitudes towards women. The study consisted of four hypotheses: (1) participants who are exposed to the sexually explicit rap music video will have more negative attitudes towards women than the participants who viewed the neutral music video, (2) participants who are exposed to the heavy metal music video will have more negative attitudes towards women than those exposed to the neural video, (3) male participants will have an overall negative attitude towards women than females regardless of the music video showed (rap music video and heavy music video), and (4) male participants will have a more negative attitude towards women when viewing rap or heavy metal videos than when viewing neutral videos. The study was conducted online and consisted of 135 participants who were randomly assigned to watch one of three different music videos (e.g. rap, heavy metal, and neutral). Participants completed the Attitudes Towards Women Scale, and a demographic survey after watching the music video. Results indicated that individuals who viewed both the sexually explicit rap and heavy metal music videos had more negative attitudes towards women. Additionally, male participants in the sexually explicit rap condition had more negative attitudes towards women. This research study implies that both rap music and heavy metal music can have negative effects on college student's attitudes towards women.
