The Effect of Overtly Categorizing Music on Preference for Popular Music Styles.
Brittin, Ruth V.
Journal of Research in Music Education, v39 n2 p143-51 Sum 1991
Presents results of a study that explored the effect of overt categorization on musical preference. Found no difference in choices of nonmusic majors when choices were structured as stipulated, unstipulated, or free form categories. Finds musical experience and gender affected preferences for pop and jazz, but not for rock music. (DK)
