Abstract

Introduction: The study explores the relationship between music as a stimulus and its benefits in mood self-regulation, focusing on adolescents' musical preferences. Method: 176 Spanish high school students aged 12 to 16 years (M_age= 13,6; SD= 1,24) participated. An ad hoc survey was used to collect data in order to analyze significant gender and developmental differences. Results: The results show that girls listen to significantly more music than boys and that music listening increases with age. Although pop is the most listened to genre, music preferences change during adolescence. Older adolescents use music more intentionally for emotional regulation, especially girls, who associate more music with emotions and use a greater variety of musical styles to regulate negative moods. Discussion: Mood regulation function correlates with musical preferences. Conclusions: The study reveals significant gender and developmental differences in the consumption and use of music for emotional regulation, highlighting the importance of taking these factors into account when understanding the emotional benefits of music in adolescents.
