The Soundtrack of Recklessness: Musical Preferences among Adolescents.
Arnett, Jeffrey
Journal of Adolescent Research, v7 n3 p313-31 Jul 1992
Adolescents (n=248) with various musical preferences were compared. Adolescents who preferred hard rock or heavy metal music reported higher rates of reckless behavior and were associated with higher levels of sensation seeking, negative family relationships, and, among girls, lower self-esteem. The relationship between sensation seeking, reckless behavior, and musical tastes are explored.(JPS)
