Abstract
Music preferences are molded with numerous personality variables, yet, this relation, as assumed in the study, may be mediated by functions of music expressing the psychological needs of the listener. Not many studies are devoted to the music preferences of listeners with personality disorders, whereas, none investigate this topic among people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). A correlational study that was conducted among 549 individuals (274 displayed BPD symptoms). The main goal was to examine the extent to which the severity of BPD symptoms directly interacts with the following: (a) music preferences and (b) music function formation, and whether the functions of music can explain the mechanism through which BPD symptoms interact with music preference formation. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), we demonstrated that the severity of BPD-spectrum symptoms is closely related to types of music preferred. In addition, BPD symptoms severity is substantially linked to the perception of the social relatedness and self-awareness functions of music, whereas emotional function seems to be independent of the BPD symptoms aggravation. Finally, the functions of music can partly act as a mediator in shaping the mechanism of forming music preferences based on personality predispositions. Further music preference analyses among individuals with BPD is highly warranted.
期刊介绍:
Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
