MUSICAL LISTENING HABITS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS IN...

The purpose of this study was to examine music preferences across a wide range of cultures in
Finland  Slovenia  South Africa and Texas to get a better sense of cultural and demographic
moderators of preferences across a wide variety of musical genres. At the same time  this study
is confined to a rather specific sample of listeners: especially students  but also faculty and
staff at universities. The musical listening habits analyzed here address not only the
differences  but are also trying to sharpen the focus on the similarities between the
geographically as well as culturally distinct milieus. Discussing the differences in cultural
phenomena may make sense only if there are some universals to be discussed along the road. In
this respect  the study comparing listeners' habits from four different parts of the world is
conceived as a contribution to a rather vaguely defined study of the musical universals in
different 'cultural habitats'.
