  • Music and myth [Elektronski vir] : the relationship between music preference and unverified beliefs
    Spirova, Elena ; Golubovikj, Arsen Matej ; Tkalčič, Marko
    This study investigates the relationship between music preferences and unverified beliefs, such as beliefs in the paranormal, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theories. We explore two key questions: (i) ... Is there a correlation between music preferences and belief constructs? (ii) Can these beliefs be predicted from music preferences? Through a survey of 62 participants, we gathered data on music preferences, personality traits (using the Big Five), and unverified beliefs (using the Australian Sheep-Goat Scale, Revised Paranormal Belief Scale, and Belief in Conspiracy Theories Inventory). Utilizing this survey, we performed correlational and predictive analysis to address our research questions. Although music preferences alone did not prove strong predictors of unverified beliefs, this study highlights the need for further exploration of the relationship between digital behaviour and belief systems, providing a foundation for future research.
