      <dc:description>Music is considered a vital element in young people’s lives. It functions as an important&#xd;
means for expressing the emotions and feelings they experience in a daily basis. As such,&#xd;
this study explores the music preferences of high school Brazilian students (N = 940), 530&#xd;
female (56.9%) and 410 male (43.1%) participants between 14 and 20 years old (M = 16.14&#xd;
years old, SD = 1.22). The main instrument for data collection was the Questionnaire on&#xd;
Musical Style Preferences, which was adapted to the Brazilian context and encompassed&#xd;
33 different music styles. A principal component analysis resulted in five dimensions representing&#xd;
different musical styles: (1) Intense, (2) Unique, (3) Sophisticated, (4) Contemporary,&#xd;
and (5) Mellow. The results of this study reinforced theory of the five-factor model of&#xd;
musical preference. Results also suggest that Mellow music was the most preferred while&#xd;
Sophisticated music was the least preferred among participants. Regarding gender, male&#xd;
participants showed a greater preference towards Contemporary, Intense, and Sophisticated&#xd;
music, whereas women generally preferred Mellow and Unique. Regarding age, participants&#xd;
under 20 years old showed a greater preference towards Mellow musical styles as&#xd;
compared to older participants. On the one hand, regression analyses showed that preferences&#xd;
towards Intense music decrease with age. On the other hand, gender was a better&#xd;
predictor for music preferences than age. Although the results of this study correspond to&#xd;
those of previous studies, more research studies are necessary to further explain musical&#xd;
preferences within the Brazilian context</dc:description>
