Abstract
The main goals of this research were to explore the
relationship between music preferences, Schwartz's personal
values and Dark Triad traits, as well as to investigate whether
there are stereotypes on listeners of specific musical genres.
There were 510 participants, Croatian students, in the first
part of the research, focused on exploring the mentioned
relations. Participants completed the musical preference
questionnaire constructed for the purpose of this research,
the Short Dark Triad (Jones & Paulhus, 2014) and Portrait
values questionnaire (Schwartz et al., 2001). In the second
part, 115 participants from the first part of the study
estimated the typical fans of specific music genres in a
questionnaire constructed for this research based on the
Dark Triad questionnaire and Portrait values questionnaire.
The results have shown a low-to-medium correlation
between the Dark Triad and personal values, as well as low
and in most cases insignificant correlation of music
preferences with the Dark Triad and personal values. The
results also point out the existence of stereotypes of an
individual's characteristics based on their preferred music
genre, which were especially negative towards fans of
turbofolk music.
