The current study examined longitudinal associations between listening to aggression, sex, and prosocial behavior in music on a number of behavioral outcomes across a one-year period during adolescence. Adolescents (N = 548, M age = 15.32, 52% female) completed a number of questionnaires on musical preferences, general media use, aggression, sexual outcomes, and prosocial behavior at two different time points separated by about one year. Using structural equation modeling to analyze the data, results revealed that listening to aggression in music was associated with increased aggression and decreased prosocial behavior over time, even when controlling for initial levels of these behaviors. Listening to sexual content in music was associated with earlier initiation of sexual intercourse and a trend for a higher number of sexual partners (reported at Time 2). Prosocial behavior in music was not associated with any behavioral outcome longitudinally. Collectively, these results suggest that listening to certain types of content in music can have a longitudinal effect on behavior during adolescence.
本研究考察了在青少年期的一年时间里，听含有攻击性、性相关内容以及亲社会行为的音乐与一系列行为结果之间的纵向关联。青少年（N = 548，平均年龄 = 15.32岁，52%为女性）在两个相隔约一年的不同时间点完成了多项关于音乐偏好、一般媒体使用、攻击性、性相关结果和亲社会行为的问卷调查。通过结构方程模型分析数据，结果显示，即使在控制这些行为的初始水平后，随着时间的推移，听含有攻击性的音乐与攻击性增加和亲社会行为减少有关。听含有性相关内容的音乐与较早开始性行为以及性伴侣数量较多的趋势（在时间2报告）有关。从纵向来看，音乐中的亲社会行为与任何行为结果均无关联。总体而言，这些结果表明，听音乐中的某些类型内容会对青少年期的行为产生纵向影响。
