Adolescents and their parents were surveyed to investigate the association between heavy metal and rap music and adolescent psychosocial turmoil. Subjects were asked about current and past psychosocial functioning, as well as their music preferences. Adolescents who preferred heavy metal and rap music were compared with those who preferred other types of music. Results indicated that adolescents who preferred heavy metal and rap had a higher incidence of below-average school grades, school behavior problems, sexual activity, drug and alcohol use, and arrests. However, when gender was controlled, only below-average current and elementary school grades and a history of counseling in elementary school for school problems remained significant. Implications of these findings are discussed.
对青少年及其父母进行了调查，以研究重金属音乐和说唱音乐与青少年心理社会动荡之间的关联。研究对象被问及当前和过去的心理社会功能，以及他们的音乐偏好。将喜欢重金属音乐和说唱音乐的青少年与喜欢其他类型音乐的青少年进行了比较。结果表明，喜欢重金属音乐和说唱音乐的青少年在学业成绩低于平均水平、学校行为问题、性行为、吸毒和酗酒以及被捕方面的发生率更高。然而，在控制了性别因素后，只有当前学业成绩低于平均水平、小学时的学业成绩以及小学时因学校问题接受咨询的历史仍然具有显著性。讨论了这些发现的意义。
