Typical Patterns of Adolescents' Musical Preferences and Activities During Leisure
Апстракт
This work is a part of a broader study dealing with adolescents' leisure time. Research
confirms that music plays a vital role in adolescents' everyday life and suggests that they are
exposed to music almost all the time and in a variety of situations using the Internet (North,
& Hargreaves, 2008). Adolescents also differ significantly in their musical preferences. This
study aims to identify typical patterns of adolescents' musical preferences and practices
during leisure. The sample comprised 1358 secondary school students (56% of whom are
female) from different school types in 10 Serbian cities; 51% of the interviewees are in the
first and 49% in the third grade. From the questionnaire about adolescents' leisure habits, that
included closed questions, we selected 20 items related to various music activities and habits.
Those items can be classified in the following categories: music as an extracurricular activity,
music as a hobby, listening to different music genres and f...ollowing music themes via various
media (Internet, TV, magazines). Explanatory factor analysis (Oblimin rotation) was
performed on these items. Results revealed five extracted factors, which explain around 50%
of the data variance. The first factor (18.4% of variance explained) represents a pattern of
preference for listening to pop and rock music vs. folk music. The second factor (9.9% of
variance explained) describes a habit of following musical themes in media and on the
internet, including following musical idols and famous figures. The third factor has all
negative loadings, regarding listening to any modern music, like techno, electro, and house
(8.8% of explained variance). The next one represents an "old fashion" pattern -listening to
the classical, jazz or rhythm & blues music and the last factor represents a pattern of musical
behavior, which includes besides listening to the music, music as a hobby, or music as an
extracurricular activity (6.8% and 6.6% of variance, respectively). The paper discusses the
meaning of different identified patterns as a tool for describing musical preferences of
today’s youth and the importance of music in youth leisure time.
