“…More specifically, from the 1980s onward, young people preferring rock genres, such as heavy metal, gothic, and punk, consistently showed more risky behaviors, such as drunk driving, speeding, alcohol and drug use, and minor delinquencies in Canadian, Dutch, US, and Swedish studies. 5,[28][29][30] In Canadian and Dutch studies, different types of hip-hop fans were more likely to be involved in gangs, minor delinquency, and alcohol and drug use. 5,30,31 In a rare 2-year longitudinal investigation, Selfhout and colleagues 32 reported that both heavy metal and hip-hop fans reported more externalizing problems.…”

“…1,2 Although public claims that engaging with "deviant" media will inevitably lead to problem behavior are wildly exaggerated, 3 social scientific research has uncovered associations between media use, particularly music listening and music video watching, and a range of externalizing problem behaviors, including minor delinquency. [4][5][6] Until now, the music-problem behavior link has never been studied from a developmental perspective spanning adolescence.…”

“…[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.…”

Early Adolescent Music Preferences and Minor Delinquency

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Adolescent music preferences have been linked to problem behavior in cross-sectional studies. Particularly, preferences for loud, rebellious, and so-called "deviant" music predict externalizing problem behavior, such as minor delinquency and substance abuse. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:There is a theoretical rationale for associations between music preferences and minor delinquency. Preferences for rock, African American music, and electronic dance music indicate later minor delinquency. Music preferences are better markers of later delinquency compared with early adolescent delinquency.abstract OBJECTIVES: To test Music Marker Theory (MMT) positing that early adolescents' preferences for nonmainstream types of popular music indicate concurrent and later minor delinquency. METHODS:MMT was tested in a 4-year longitudinal study (n = 309). RESULTS:The results showed that early fans of different types of rock (eg, rock, heavy metal, gothic, punk), African American music (rhythm and blues, hip-hop), and electronic dance music (trance, techno/ hardhouse) showed elevated minor delinquency concurrently and longitudinally. Preferring conventional pop (chart pop) or highbrow music (classic music, jazz), in contrast, was not related to or was negatively related to minor delinquency. CONCLUSIONS:Early music preferences emerged as more powerful indicators of later delinquency rather than early delinquency, indicating that music choice is a strong marker of later problem behavior. The mechanisms through which music preferences are linked to minor delinquency are discussed within the framework of MMT. Pediatrics 2013;131:e380-e389 AUTHORS:

“…For example, Mulder et al (2007) discovered that rock fans among others exhibited more problem behaviour and thinking than fans of more mainstream music, the latter apparently offering a 'buffering' effect against problems. We found a conviction on the part of many authors (e. g. Schwartz and Fouts 2003) that somehow personality dimensions can be 'read off' from a young person's music tastes and that 'heavier' music tastes can be seen as indicative of developmental difficulties and personality problems.…”

This paper seeks to think creatively about the body of research which claims there is a link between heavy metal music and adolescent alienation, self-destructive behaviours, selfharm and suicide. Such research has been criticised, often by people who belong to heavy metal subcultures, as systematically neglecting to explore, in a meaningful manner, the psychosocial benefits for individuals who both listen to contemporary heavy metal music and socialize in associated groups. We argue that notions of survival, strength, community, and rebellion are key themes in contemporary heavy metal music. Through literary-lyrical analysis of a selection of heavy metal tracks, this paper aims to redress the balance of risk and benefit. We argue that listening to this type of music, the accompanying social relationships, sense of solidarity and even the type of dancing can ameliorate tumultuous and difficult emotions. Songs which could be read as negative can induce feelings of relief through the sense that someone else has felt a particular way and recovered enough to transform these emotions into a creative outlet. This genre of music may therefore not increase the risk of untoward outcomes in any simple sense but rather represent a valuable resource for young people in difficulty.Keywords Self-harm . Suicide . Heavy metal music . Subcultures . Adolescence . Alienation This paper sets out to address the oft-cited relationship between heavy metal music and adolescent self-harm. Whilst frequently assumed, this alleged relationship originates in stereotypes held by parents, educators, policymakers and researchers and is often only tenuously supported by study of young people themselves. As Martin Barker (1984) has pointed out, each generation of new media has been interpreted by many social commentators as being potentially harmful and apt to have a particularly pernicious effect on children. The rise of mass literacy in the 19 th century was accompanied by concerns about the effects of 'penny dreadfuls', cinema yielded concerns about potential delinquency and deteriorations in young J Med Humanit

“…De fato, a preferência musical tem estado relacionada com alguns traços ou fatores da personalidade, quer em termos dos cinco grandes (Rawlings & Ciancarelli, 1997;Rentfrow & Gosling, 2003;Pimentel & Donnely, 2008) ou de outros modelos (Mccown, Keiser, Mulhearn, & Williamson, 1997;North, Desborough, & Skarstein, 2005;Pearson & Dollinger, 2004). têm revelado correlações significativas da preferência musical com orientação política (Fox & Williams, 1974), estilos de vida (North & Hargreaves, 2007), valores (Boer, 2009;Leming, 1987), autoestima (Rentfrow & Gosling, 2006), viés intergrupal (Bakagiannis & Tarrant, 2006), risco de suicídio (Lacourse, Claes, & Villeneuve, 2001), habilidades cognitivas (Rentfrow & Gosling, 2003), problemas familiares, uso de drogas, comportamento sexual de risco e condutas antissociais (Arnett, 1991;Dent et al, 1992;Mulder, Bogt, Raaijmakers, & Vollebergh, 2006;Singer, Levine, & Jou, 1993). No âmbito dos estudos nacionais, é possível encontrar pesquisas que relacionem a preferência musical com valores e identificação grupal (Pimentel, 2004), comportamentos e atitudes antissociais (Pimentel, Gouveia, & Vasconcelos, 2005) e com risco de suicídio (Pimentel, Gouveia, Lima, Chaves, & Rodrigues, 2009).…”

Este estudo objetivou conhecer a correlação entre preferência musical e busca de sensações, testando modelos de mediação e moderação. Participaram 279 estudantes do ensino médio, com média de idade de 17 anos e igualmente distribuídos por sexo, que responderam a Escala de Preferência Musical, o Inventário de Arnett de Busca de Sensações e questões demográficas. Observou-se correlação da preferência por estilos musicais alternativos (positiva, como, por exemplo, rock, música eletrônica) e convencional (negativa, como, por exemplo, música clássica, música religiosa) com o fator intensidade de busca de sensações. Constatou-se também que as relações entre o fator novidade e os estilos alternativos e convencionais foram mediadas pela busca por intensidade. Testou-se a moderação da busca por novidade na relação entre intensidade e música alternativa, que não foi confirmada. Tais resultados foram discutidos com base na literatura sobre correlatos da busca de sensações, e sugere-se estudos que contribuam para entender seu efeito na preferência musical.
