Music preferences across four cultures

  Preferences for national music styles

Music preferences and values
The research question I would like to answer now is: are preferences for international music styles (consistently) linked to values? I answer this question in three steps looking at the value orientations endorsed by people who like listening to Rock, Pop and Classical music, respectively.

  Rock and Metal music
  Pop and Hip Hop music

Coming to Pop and Hip Hop music: in our two western cultures, New Zealand and Germany, international Pop and Hip Hop music was negatively correlated with self-transcendence values, and positively correlated with self-enhancement values. However, this link did not occur in both non-western cultures, Brazil and Philippines. Pop and Hip Hop is consistently not related to the conservative value dimension - the extent that someone is conservative or open has no implications for how much they enjoy international Pop and Hip Hop music.


  Classical music and Jazz

Music preferences and national identity
