Abstract:
|
Music is typically believed to have some relationship with politics and public opinion, but little research has quantified that relationship or offered testable hypothesis about causal mechanisms. In this paper, I address this issue by examining relationships between music preferences and political attitudes, using an original survey dataset (N=888). I show that discernible relationships exist between certain music preferences and political attitudes, and I argue that these are based on a reference-group mechanism rather than via the lyrical content of music. The results illuminate theoretical directions for conceptualizing music as a political phenomenon relevant to public opinion. |
