“…First, the musical styles typical of Brazilian culture (e.g., forró and sertanejo) were more popular than were the more global styles related to Western tonal music (e.g., rap and classical music). It seems possible that the participants’ musical preferences were influenced by contemporary media culture since the styles they listened to most often coincided with those that traditionally receive the most media exposure (Cremades, Lorenzo, & Herrera, 2010; Pimentel et al, 2007; Pimentel, Gouveia, & Vasconcelos, 2005; Soares-Quadros Jr. & Lorenzo, 2013).…”

“…The scientific literature defines the recurrence of these decisions as “musical preference”, an attitude that is favourable or unfavourable – and can be permanent or transitory – for different types of music (Hargreaves, North, & Tarrant, 2015; Pimentel, Gouveia, Coelho, Athayde, & Lima, 2014). Authors such as Pimentel, Gouveia, and Pessoa (2007) and Robinson and Hatten (2012) argue that musical preference is a fundamental element that forms human character, especially during adolescence. Tekman and Hortaçsu (2002) point to adolescence as the stage of life in which individuals are subject to the greatest influence from their peer groups regarding decisions related to clothes, hairstyle, preferences for places of leisure and types of entertainment.…”

The goal of this article is to analyse the musical preferences of Brazilian students by considering the variables of gender and religion. Using random sampling, a class was selected from each high school year group of 10 public schools in the city of São Luís (Brazil).The total study sample consisted of 658 students: 358 females (54.4%) and 300 males (45.6%). Of these, 343 (52.1%) were Protestants and 315 (47.9%) were Catholics, and their ages ranged from 14 to 19 years ( M = 16.24 years old, SD = 1.14). For the data collection, a version of the Questionnaire on Musical Style Preferences by Lorenzo, Herrera, and Cremades (2008) was used; however, it was shortened and culturally adapted to the Brazilian context. The participants were asked to evaluate how often they listened to 19 different styles of music. The overall results indicated that the participants’ musical preferences were heavily influenced by mass media. However, ANOVA results indicated significant differences and a variety of size effects in the frequency of musical listening based on gender and religion. Females had a greater preference for styles with emotional content, dance music and music with a strong connection to mass culture, while males preferred more vigorous styles. Regarding religion, Protestants had a stronger preference for gospel music, while Catholic preferences were more diverse.

The scale development process is critical to building knowledge in human and social sciences. The present paper aimed (a) to provide a systematic review of the published literature regarding current practices of the scale development process, (b) to assess the main limitations reported by the authors in these processes, and (c) to provide a set of recommendations for best practices in future scale development research. Papers were selected in September 2015, with the search terms "scale development" and "limitations" from three databases: Scopus, PsycINFO, and Web of Science, with no time restriction. We evaluated 105 studies published between 1976 and 2015. The analysis considered the three basic steps in scale development: item generation, theoretical analysis, and psychometric analysis. The study identified ten main types of limitation in these practices reported in the literature: sample characteristic limitations, methodological limitations, psychometric limitations, qualitative research limitations, missing data, social desirability bias, item limitations, brevity of the scale, difficulty controlling all variables, and lack of manual instructions. Considering these results, various studies analyzed in this review clearly identified methodological weaknesses in the scale development process (e.g., smaller sample sizes in psychometric analysis), but only a few researchers recognized and recorded these limitations. We hope that a systematic knowledge of the difficulties usually reported in scale development will help future researchers to recognize their own limitations and especially to make the most appropriate choices among different conceptions and methodological strategies.

Poucos estudos na psicologia da personalidade incluíram em suas análises o construto preferência musical. Tal situação vem se modificando, mas ainda carece de várias pesquisas, sobretudo na psicologia brasileira. Esta pesquisa verificou a relação entre preferência musical e traços de personalidade a partir de uma amostra de 225 estudantes universitários (M=22 anos; DP=6,41), que responderam a Escala de Preferência Musical e ao Inventário Big Five. Verificaram-se algumas correlações estatisticamente significativas entre as dimensões de preferência musical e os traços de personalidade. Foi observado que Música de Massa se relacionou positivamente com Extroversão e negativamente com Abertura à Experiência; Música Refinada e Neuroticismo se relacionaram negativamente, e Música de Massa ainda se relacionou significativa e estatisticamente, de modo positivo, com Abertura à Experiência. Por fim, Música Alternativa e Neuroticismo se relacionaram negativamente. Conclui-se que a preferência musical se relaciona com a personalidade, sendo importante para o seu entendimento.
