摘要
After the assessment of various traits pertaining to adolescent rebelliousness, respondents were placed in a private situation that allowed them to listen to selections of an assortment of upbeat songs with either socially defiant or non-defiant messages. The songs were presented via computer. The computer's software unobtrusively recorded the duration of all musical choices made. The assessments of trait rebelliousness, disinhibition, and hostility were found to be correlated with time spent listening to songs featuring defiant messages. Trait rebelliousness was closely related to disinhibition. The preference for defiant music proved to be more strongly related to disinhibition and proactive rebelliousness than to hostility and reactive rebelliousness. The two latter traits were without appreciable influence on selective exposure to defiant music. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
