erica Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi All,I'm an MSc student at University College London studying psychology and I'm working on a piece of research looking to link music preferences and personality. Thought it might be of interest to everyone here!The existing research finds that there are indeed some links to be found- for example, some music preferences are highly correlated with personality characteristics such as openness. In other words, you really can tell a lot about a person from what they listen to! If you're interested in reading about this, you can find a bit of research here. Or, search for articles by two guys named Rentfrow & Gosling.My coursemates and I would like to confirm and extend this research, so we are running a short questionnaire that asks about music and personality. It should produce interesting results! We are looking for participants so if you have about 10 minutes to spare- check it out, please! (Only if you live in the UK though) The link takes you to my coursemate's psychology blog, which in it of itself is quite a good read, too.If you do take part and are curious about our research, let me know and I can tell you about our findings.Thanks,Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
