The present research examined individual differences in music preferences. A series of 6 studies investigated lay beliefs about music, the structure underlying music preferences, and the links between music preferences and personality. The data indicated that people consider music an important aspect of their lives and listening to music an activity they engaged in frequently. Using multiple samples, methods, and geographic regions, analyses of the music preferences of over 3,500 individuals converged to reveal 4 music-preference dimensions: Reflective and Complex, Intense and Rebellious, Upbeat and Conventional, and Energetic and Rhythmic. Preferences for these music dimensions were related to a wide array of personality dimensions (e.g., Openness), self-views (e.g., political orientation), and cognitive abilities (e.g., verbal IQ).
本研究考察了音乐偏好的个体差异。一系列6项研究调查了人们对音乐的外行观念、音乐偏好背后的结构，以及音乐偏好与个性之间的联系。数据表明，人们认为音乐是其生活的一个重要方面，听音乐是他们经常从事的一项活动。通过使用多个样本、方法和地理区域，对3500多名个体的音乐偏好进行的分析得出了4个音乐偏好维度：沉思复杂型、强烈叛逆型、欢快传统型、活力韵律型。对这些音乐维度的偏好与一系列个性维度（如开放性）、自我认知（如政治取向）和认知能力（如言语智商）相关。
