Abstract
In a sample of students, preference for country and western music was not associated with depression or suicidal preoccupation as has been s uggested by Stack and Gundlach. However, preference for heavy metal mu sic was associated with prior suicidal ideation. Stronger associations were found between music preferences and measures of psychoticism and extraversion.
