• Can personality traits predict musical style preferences? A meta-analysis (2017, background): “Langmeyer et al. (2012) found a negative correlation between the dimension intense and rebellious and the personality trait conscientiousness.”
• The Song Is You (2016, background): “…measure the perceived attributes in the music they administer but rather group the stimuli into a single category based on its (often superficial) genre or style designation (e.g., Langmeyer, et al., 2012; Rawlings, Barrantes-Vidal, & Furnham, 2000; Vuoskoski, Thompson, McIlwain, & Eerola, 2012).”
