Citations in the corpus

• The content and validity of music-genre stereotypes among college students (2007, background): “…preferences, such that upper-class and well-educated individuals tend to prefer ‘highbrow’ music (e.g. classical, opera and big band), whereas working-class and less educated individuals tend to prefer ‘lowbrow’ music (e.g. country, gospel and rap; Katz-Gerro, 2002; Mark, 1998; Van Eijck, 2001).”
• Problems in comparative research: The example of omnivorousness (2005, background): “Perhaps the most ambitious cross-national effort is the confederation of researchers from the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, the United States, Hungary, Chile, and Israel.”
• How Do Cultural Producers Make Creative Decisions?: Lessons from the Catwalk (2009, background): “In the sociological perspective, the communal nature of taste stems from socialization processes in a stratified social space (Bourdieu 1984; Gans 1974; Van Eijck 2001; Willis 1981).”
• You Are What You Listen To: Young People's Stereotypes about Music Fans (2009, background): “A considerable amount of research has shown robust differences in music preferences as a function of social class (Han, 2003; Katz-Gerro, 1999; Mark, 1998; Snibbe & Markus, 2005; Van Eijck, 2001).”
• Intergenerational Continuity of Taste: Parental and Adolescent Music Preferences (2011, background): “…earlier research, which linked a taste for prestigious music with higher education and supplemented that general pattern with the finding that the link holds for both older and younger generations (Arnett 1991a; Bryson 1996; Frith 1981; Katz-Gerro 2002; Stevens and Elchardus 2001; van Eijck, 2001).”
