“…1, 2015 83 characteristics and traits. The correlations between musical preferences and psychological constructs such as personality traits (Rentfrow & Gosling, 2003), values (Boer et al, 2011 and age demographics (Bonneville-Roussy et al, 2013) have been studied, and convergence across many studies from varied geographical regions (Rentfrow & Gosling, 2003;George, Stickle, Rachid, & Wopnford, 2007;Delsing, ter Bogt, Engels, & Meeus, 2008;Zweigenhaft, 2008;Brown, 2012;Dunn, de Ruyter, & Bouwhuis, 2012;Langmeyer, Guglhör, & Tarnai, 2012) has provided clear evidence that these constructs are linked in a similar fashion. Extraverts for example prefer music that is "upbeat and conventional" (pop, soundtrack, and religious genres) and "energetic and rhythmic" (soul/funk and electronic/dance genres), and people high in Openness to Experience prefer "reflective and complex" music (blues, jazz, classical and folk genres) (Rentfrow & McDonald, 2009).…”

“…[9][10][11][12] To a large extent, preferences for music genres are already in place by early adolescence and remain highly stable across adolescence. 5,13 Adolescence is a period for testing and internalizing culturally defined norms and values. During adolescence, young people develop a more autonomous position in relation to their parents 14,15 and become more dependent on friends and peers in cliques and crowds.…”

“…Four dimensions of music preference were identified, and they are reflective and complex (such as blues, jazz, classical, folk); intense and rebellious (such as rock, alternative, heavy metal); upbeat and conventional (such as country music, soundtrack, religious, popular); and energetic-rhythmic (such as hiphop, soul/funk, electronic/dance) (Delsing et al, 2008).
