Heavy Metal Music and Adolescent Suicidal Risk.
Lacourse, Eric; Claes, Michel; Villeneuve, Martine
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v30 n3 p321-32 Jun 2001
Studied differentiating characteristics of youth who prefer heavy metal music, worship music, and use music for vicarious release. Data for 275 secondary school students suggest that heavy metal music preference and worshipping is not related to suicidal risk when controlling for other suicide factors. Discusses findings in the context of alienation theory. (SLD)
