Abstract

Evidence has been found of an association between participation in risk behaviors and the perception of their risks and benefits. The use of personal music players (PMPs) is one of the most common non-occupational noise activities, especially among the young. The aim of the study was to develop a questionnaire to assess the positive consequences (benefits) perceived by adolescents and the negative consequences (risks) of listening to music on these devices. The construction and validation process occurred in 3 phases: item pool development; establishment of content validity; and estimation of construct validity, criterion-related validity, and internal consistency, with an accidental sample of 694 adolescents from 2 schools of Cordoba, Argentina. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a 2-dimensional factorial structure. Together, both factors correctly classified 64.6% and 74% of adolescents with high and low exposure to music through PMPs. This questionnaire can be used to detect adolescents with risky listening and to develop strategies to promote protective behavior.

The behavior of listening to music at high sound level with a personal music player (PMP) has become a frequent activity among adolescents of all socio-economic levels (McNeill, Keith, Feder, Konkle, & Michaud, 2010; Vogel, Brug, Van der Ploeg, & Raat, 2011), which is positively correlated with some risk behaviors, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, using drugs, dropping out of school, and going to discos (Bohlin & Erlandsson, 2007)
The use of PMPs (e.g., MP3 players, cell phones, and iPods) is one of the most common activities associated with exposure to non-occupational noise (Bohlin & Erlandsson, 2007; Morata, 2007)

The behavior of listening to music at high sound level with a personal music player (PMP) has become a frequent activity among adolescents of all socio-economic levels (McNeill, Keith, Feder, Konkle, & Michaud, 2010; Vogel, Brug, Van der Ploeg, & Raat, 2011), which is positively correlated with some risk behaviors, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, using drugs, dropping out of school, and going to discos (Bohlin & Erlandsson, 2007). The last decades have seen an increase in the number of studies in the field of public health aimed at finding the auditory effects of exposure to non-occupational noise in adolescents' activities in which music is played at high sound levels (Ameye, Eziyi, Adekunle, Obasi, & Amusa, 2016; Colon et al, 2016; Jiang, Zhao, Guderley, & Manchaiah, 2016; Twardella et al, 2017)
