摘要：Exploring relations between the personality metatraits of the Five-Factor Model of personality (Stability and Plasticity) and music preferences in adolescence represents a new research path. The objective of this pilot study was to explore the potential of considering these two personality metatraits in research on adolescent music preferences (Metal, Soul, Electronic, Pop, Classical, and Eclecticism). The sample was composed of 30 regular high school students (age: M = 16.45, SD = 0.81 years). The results confirmed that personality metatraits seem to be linked to music preferences in adolescence. As hypothesized, Plasticity (Extraversion and Openness) was associated with music preferences, while Stability (Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism inverted) was not. Some implications for future developmental research on adolescent music preferences (e.g., Plasticity and the dopaminergic system) are highlighted.
