    The document summarizes the findings of several research studies on the effects of music on memory and personality: 1) One study found four music preference dimensions (Rock, Elite, Urban, Pop/Dance) that correlated with personality traits, such as Rock fans scoring lower on Conscientiousness. 2) Two other studies found music did not significantly affect short-term memory or physiological arousal levels during memory tasks. 3) One study found music had a negative effect on word recall but no effect on digit recall. 4) Another study found music only impaired memory encoding if played during the study phase. 5) A final study found experimental music significantly reduced word list recall, while other

    Title: Adolescents’ Music Preferences and Personality Characteristics

    Researcher/s: MARC J. M. H. DELSING, TOM F. M. TER BOGT, RUTGER C. M. E. ENGELS and WIM H. J.
    MEEUS

    Year: 2008

     Found out four interpretable music-preference dimensions were Rock, Elite, Urban and Pop or
    Dance.
     they found out that a consistent pattern of contemporary associations between music
    preferences and personality characteristics is existing.
     The results were: adolescents who enjoy Rock tend to be relatively low on Conscientiousness
    and relatively high on Openness to Experience.
     Adolescents who enjoy Elite tend to be relatively high on Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and
    Openness to Experience and relatively low on Emotional Stability.
     Adolescents who enjoy Urban tend to be relatively high on Extraversion and Agreeableness, as
    are adolescents who enjoy Pop or Dance.
     Their study also revealed how adolescents show weaker preferences for Rock, Elite and
    Pop/Dance music, but stronger preferences for urban music.
     They found out that as adolescents get older, they become less defiant and more adventurous
    and autonomous in their musical taste.

    Title: The Effects of Music on Short-term Memory and Physiological Arousal

    Researcher/s: Anne Gustavson, Kevin Hanneken, Anna Moldysz, Brad Simon

    Year: 2013

     They found out that there is no significant difference in short-term memory scores among the
    three testing conditions.
     There was additionally no significant difference in physiological arousal among the three testing
    conditions concerning skin conductance, heart rate, or respiratory rate.
     But, every one of the three conditions demonstrated increased arousal when contrasted with
    baseline physiological conditions obtained prior to the testing.
     These outcomes recommend that the viability of short-term memory in a verbal assignment is
    not influenced by music or lyrics, and that the physiological arousal was brought on by the
    memory task itself, not the nature of the auditory environment.

    Title: The Effect of Music on Recall Ability of Words and Digits

    Researcher/s: Claire Jameson


    Year: April 2013

     The findings suggest that music has a negative effect on the recall of words but it has no
    significant effect on the recall of digits.
     The participants recalled digits better than words, across all music conditions and there was no
    significant difference in gender recall ability.

    Title: The Effects of Music on Memory for a Word List

    Researcher/s: Emily Konantz

    Year: 2012

     The results of the experiment did not reflect the hypothesis in that it only mattered if there was
    music playing during the study phase as it had a negative effect on encoding.
     Other reasons included small representation of the gross population and lack of control in the
    test environment as well as lack of reliability and validity.

    Title: Effect of Different Types of Background Music on Students' Ability to Memorize and Recall word
    Lists.

    Researcher/s:

    Year: January 12, 2004

     The results show that the null hypothesis must be retained for the tests conducted with the
    songs "Dope King" (jungle) and "Air 'on the G string'" (Baroque).
     Although there were slight decreases in the average number of words retained with these two
    songs, the decreases were not statistically significant.
     the research hypothesis is accepted at a 0.05 level of significance or at a 95% level of confidence
    for the test conducted with the song "Pendulum Music" (experimental).
     Therefore, only the experimental music had a significant effect on the students' ability to
    memorize and recall the word list.
