Abstract |
“Trait rebelliousness and enjoyment of defiant or nondefiant rock music videos were assessed in male and female high school students. Data were analyzed in a 2 X 2 X 2 mixed‐measures design, with subject rebelliousness (low, high) and gender as independent‐measures factors and defiance expressed in rock music (absent, present) as a repeated‐measures factor. Rebellious male students outnumbered rebellious female students by a factor of three. Counter to expectations, highly rebellious students did not enjoy defiant rock videos more than did their less rebellious peers, nor did they consume more defiant rock music than did their peers. Highly rebellious students enjoyed rock videos devoid of defiance significantly less than did their peers, and they consumed significantly less nondefiant rock music than did their peers. Rebellious youths, then, appear to be partial to defiance as a salient theme in rock music, mostly by avoiding rock that is devoid of this theme.”
