Personality, Gender, and Education

Sandra Garrido, Jane W. Davidson

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter looks closely at how numerous personal variables play an important role in shaping how we use music and the music we are attracted to. Garrido & Davidson here examine how our perception of gender roles and how closely we fit the traditional gender stereotypes accepted in our cultural setting, can have a deep effect on our music selections. They also discuss the influence of the socio-economic and societal sub-groups with which we self-identify, and what we choose to express about our personality through the music we listen to. Our personality in turn affects how we use music to regulate mood and affect, particularly in response to adverse life events.
