“…For instance, a preference for rap and heavy metal music has been shown to be associated with psychoticism (North, Desborough, & Skarstein, 2005), tolerance of racial and sexual discrimination (Gan, Zillman, & Mitrook, 1997), vandalism and drug use (Arnett, 1991(Arnett, , 1992, and violence and aggression (Rubin, West, & Mitchell, 2001) in young adults. Providing causal evidence, Anderson et al (2003) found that listening to violent (relative to neutral) music increased aggression-related cognition and affect.…”

International audiencePrevious research has predominantly focused on negative effects of music exposure by demonstrating that listening to antisocial music increases aggression and aggression-related variables. The present research tests the idea that listening to prosocial (relative to neutral) music decreases aggressive outcomes. In fact, five studies revealed that prosocial music exposure decreased aggressive cognition, affect, and behavior. Mediational analyses showed that the effect of music condition on aggressive behavior was accounted for by differences in aggressive affect. Implications of these results for the predictive validity of the General Learning Model (Buckley & Anderson, 2006) for the effects of media exposure on social tendencies are discussed

“…The past decennia, music has been accused of stimulating unethical acts, such as aggression, stealing, or deception. Yet the relation of music with immoral and unethical research other than prejudice or judgments is largely unexplored (e.g., Gan, Zillman, & Mitrook, 1997;North, Desborough, & Skarstein, 2005). In this research, we argue that music is a cue for and facilitates moral and immoral behavior depending on the characteristics of music as being tonal or atonal.…”

“…While women select softer genres such as mainstream pop, men prefer aggressive genres such as rap and heavy rock [37]. In addition, North, Hargreaves, and O' Neill [30] stated that in adolescence, men listen to music more to influence their friends, while women listen to music to express their emotional needs and themselves emotionally [31]. In general, the gender difference seen in music preferences are based on the idea of the social role of men as emotionally strong and of women as emotional [7].…”

The purpose of this study is to determine whether music preferences differ in terms of drug abuse tendencies and personality traits with regard to the type of music that music teacher candidates listen to. The research group of the study was comprised of 141 university students. Research data were collected using the Substance Use Tendency Scale, the Adjective-Based Personality Test (ABPT), and the Personal Information Form developed by the researchers. Pop music (93.6%) was determined to be the music type most listened to, and Heavy Metal music (21.3%) music the type least listened to. While the students were determining their music preferences, they indicated that the moods (99.3%) and the melody of the music (98.6%) were primarily important. The results of the analysis show that there are significant differences in music preferences based on the tendency for drug abuse and on personality traits. Findings have been discussed in the light of the relevant literature, and proposals have been made to professionals working in the fields of research, music therapy and music education.
