abstract = {This article analyzes the relationship between musical preference and type of personality
in a large group of Brazilian young and adult participants (N = 1050). The study
included 25 of 27 states of Brazil and individuals aged between 16 and 71 years
(M = 30.87; SD = 10.50). Of these, 500 were male (47.6%) and 550 were female
(52.4%). A correlational study was carried out applying two online questionnaires with
quality parameters (content-construct validity and reliability), one on musical preference
and the other on personality. The results indicate four main findings: (1) the musical
listening of the participants is limited to a reduced number of styles, mainly Pop music
and others, typical of Brazilian culture; (2) the Brazilian context supposes a determining
aspect in the low preference of non-Brazilian music; (3) there is a positive correlation
between most personality types analyzed and the Latin, Brazilian, Classical and Ethnic
musical styles. A negative correlation between these types of personality and the
consumption of Rock music was also observed; (4) musical preferences are driven
not only by personality but in some cases they are also driven by socio-demographic
variables (i.e., age and gender). Likewise, this work shows how participants make
use of music in personality aspects that may be of interest for the analysis of socioaffective
behavior (personality) as well as according to different socio-demographic
variables (e.g., age and gender). More cross-cultural research on musical preference
and personality would need to be carried out from a global perspective, framed in the
context of social psychology and studies of mass communication.},
