Monday's Free Download: "Adolescent Suicide: Music Preference as an Indicator of Vulnerability"


This 1993 paper was one of the first attempts in the literature to examine whether certain types of music might be associated with, or even influence, youth suicide. We concluded that vulnerable young people might turn to (for instance) heavy metal music out of rage and resentment, and that some of those might become further depressed by the style of music and/or the lyrics. The paper has been cited often in the literature (122 times according to Google), and many other research studies have built on our work.
