The Correlational Research On The Big Five And Music Consumption

In this paper,200 undergraduate and graduate students majoring in music and non-music major in Central China Normal University of Wuhan are studied as samples.this research investigated the factors from different gender,professional and other aspects of individual differences,so as to analyze the music consumption behavior,and through combining with the investigation and analysis discuss "The Big Five"personality theory,test the relationship between different music consumption behavior and gender,professional characteristics and factors of individual differences.Among them,there is no significant correlation between music consumption behavior and neuroticism,extroversion,and openness.There is a positive correlation between amenity and preciseness.But from the various dimensions of music consumption behavior,the first is diversity.In "The Big Five,"personality,there is only an open dimension and a significant correlation between diversity and openness.There was no significant correlation between the other dimensions and the diversity dimension,and then there was no significant correlation between "The Big Five"personality except extroversion dimension and conformity.The other dimensions were significantly correlated,and neuroticism was positively correlated with conformity,openness,suitably human nature,preciseness and conformity were negatively correlated.Finally,there was a significant correlation between durative dimension and amenity and preciseness.There is no obvious correlation with other dimensions of "The Big Five" personality.Therefore,the author speculated that people with open characteristics are more likely to have music consumption behavior,that is,the more open,the more human,the higher the diversity of music consumption behavior.The appropriate human nature is likely to have a negative impact on the conformity of consumption behavior,that is,the lower the person with the lower personality is,the higher the conformity of the music consumption behavior is,which means that they are more vulnerable to the influence of the public on their choice of music consumption.Lastly,agreeableness may have a positive effect on the continuity dimension.It shows that the higher the extroversion and agreeableness is,the higher their music consumption behavior is,the higher their frequency of music consumption is.
