Sources!

While researching for my project about how music effects personalities and therapy I found this great source and I wanted everyone to see it!
Rentfrow, Peter J., and Samuel D. Gosling. "The Do Re Mi's of Everyday Life: The Structure      and Personality Correlates of Music Preferences." Journal of Personality & Social    Psychology 84.6 (2003): 1236-1256. Academic Search Elite. EBSCO. Web. 8 Nov. 2010. This is a case study done dealing with individual differences and how music is used in  everyday life. They came up with four different music-preference dimensions: reflective   and complex, intense and rebellious, upbeat and conventional, and energetic and  rhythmic. These were determined from a wide variety of personality traits like openness,         political orientation, etc. This case study supports my thesis that personalities do not change from music the type of music people listen to.
