What values am I talking about?

Music preferences across four cultures
For each of the four samples I looked at the structure of preferences for national music styles and international music styles. Through looking at the structure, we can see which music style is usually preferred simultaneously with other music styles. Music styles that are related to each other lump together in statistical tests. In order to test the structure statistically, I did two factor analyses per country: one on national music styles and one on international styles.

Preferences for international music styles
Preferences for International music styles have the same structure in each of our four cultures. There are three distinct groups of music styles that are appreciated simultaneously: on the first factor we have Rock, Metal, Hardcore and Punk. On the second factor, we have Pop and HipHop and other popular rhythmic styles, like R'n'B. The third factor represents Classical, Jazz and Country music.

In all four samples, the three factor solution of international music preferences show appropriate psychometric properties (Total Variances explained 74, 51, 61 and 66 percent in New Zealand, Brazil, Philippines and Germany, respectively; internal reliability ranged from Cronbach's alpha .53 for Classic music styles in Germany to .86 for Rock music styles in the Philippines).

Preferences for national music styles
Preferences for national music styles in each country are divided into two factors: one for more traditional national music styles and one for more popular music styles from each country.

Traditional national music styles that are appreciated simultaneously in New Zealand are the Indigenous music styles Waiata, Kapa Haka and Polynesian Music. New Zealand Rock music, New Zealand Metal and New Zealand Dub are popular music styles that are also preferred at the same time.

More traditional national music styles that are appreciated simultaneously in Brazil are the Local music styles Maracatu, Bumba-Meu-Boi, Baião and Frevo. The popular Brazilian music styles are MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), Bossa Nova and Choro - loading on one factor.

Traditional national music styles that are appreciated simultaneously in the Philippines are Kundiman, Kulintang, Rondalla, Tunog Lata and Harana. The popular Filipino music styles that are enjoyed together are Pinoy Rock, OPM (Original Pilipino Music), Pinoy Metal and Pinoy HipHop.

More traditional national music styles that are appreciated simultaneously in the Germany are Schlager and Volksmusik. The popular German music styles that are enjoyed together are German Rock, German Punk, Hamburger Schule, Ostrock and Liedermacher.

Both factors, traditional and popular national music styles, have decent psychometric properties in all four cultures (Total Variances explained 74, 51, 61 and 66 percent in New Zealand, Brazil, Philippines and Germany, respectively; internal reliability ranging from Cronbach's alpha .63 for Popular New Zealand styles to .90 for Indigenous music styles in New Zealand).

In the following results section we will use our two national music factors (traditional and popular) and our three international music factors (Rock, Pop and Classics).
