Rock Music and the Socialization of Moral Values in Early Adolescence.
Leming, James S.
Youth and Society, v18 n4 p363-83 Jun 1987
Links between rock music, moral values, and youth behavior are difficult to establish. This study shows that while young people are influenced by the content of songs, they sometimes disagree with and criticize lyrics. Thus the premise of adolescents as passive receptors of negative values portrayed in music is not warranted. (VM)
