Abstract
This study investigated the effects on attitudes and listening behaviors of approvals of various music types (classical, country, and rock) attributed to various sources (disc jockeys, peers, and music teachers) on four fifth-grade classes (combined N = 82). Controlling for prior music class attitudes with an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), music teacher and disc jockey approvals increased classical music preferences and listening. Correlation between verbal preference response (VPR) and music selection behavior (MSB) was significant, albeit low, substantiating results of previous research on this age group. Correlation between the music type preference (MTP) measures and VPR, and MTP measures and MSB, indicate that if classical, country, and rock records were chosen in a drawing, listening selection behavior was associated more with record choices than was verbal preference rating.Keywords
