Presentation Abstract

This research was conducted to establish a gap in the literature between Time Perspective and music preferences. The Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory is a powerful tool used to establish a person's given time perspective. It is a set of 56 personality questions that yield five possible outcomes based on the results. This experiment predicted that a person's given time perspective, based on this inventory, would sway their preferences in music genres when asked to rate them on the STOMP-R. A supplemental test used during this study is the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale, which was used as an additional personality rating. Participants were given two samples of music to choose from, both were by Ed Sheeran, one which had 63 beats per minute whereas the other had 96 beats per minute. Research is currently being conducted to determine if the findings support the hypothesis.
