Through conversation, we reflect on and compare our personal music listening practices. Here we present a dialogue between ourselves – Dr Amanda Krause and Dr Steven Brown, two music psychology researchers, with expertise in people’s everyday music listening behaviours. More generally, the findings suggest the utility of applying constructs from consumer psychology to everyday music-listening behaviors. Study 2 supported the first study in terms of identity, and demonstrated that a different pattern of variables predicted playlist listening from listening to music via shuffle. Moreover, while psychological variables predicted whether individuals preferred ‘familiarized’ advantages inherent to listening devices, a preference for ‘progressive’ advantages was predicted by technological behaviors. Further, psychological variables (such as innovativeness and self-efficacy) predicted whether individuals possess such an identity. Study 1 indicated the existence of a one-dimensional identity based on music technology.
Study 1 focused on music-listening devices, while Study 2 focused on music selection strategies (e.g. Two studies considered whether psychological variables could predict everyday music listening practices more than those demographic and technology-related variables studied predominantly hitherto.
