The purpose of this study is to find out the correlation between music preferences and risktaking behaviour in adolescents in Jakarta. The researcher included 562 students from five high schools representing each area of Jakarta using stratified sampling and cluster sampling techniques. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between adolescents' risk-taking behaviour and music preference. Risk-taking behaviour have positive and significant correlation with energetic and rhythmic music preferences and intense and rebellious music preferences. There are negative and significant correlation between risk-taking behaviour with reflective and complex music preference and upbeat and conventional music preferences. The strongest correlation is the negative correlation between risktaking behaviour with upbeat and conventional music preferences (r=-0.602, p=0.000<0.005). Meanwhile, the weakest correlation is he positive correlation between risk-taking behaviour with energetic and rhythmic music preferences (r=0.438, p=0.000<0.005). these results indicate that individuals who tend to have risk taking behaviour have energetic and rhythmic or intense and rebellious music preferences and don't like reflective and complex or upbeat and conventional music, and vice versa
