Abstract
This preliminary questionnaire-based study explored various trends in the music preferences and evaluative styles of 100 young adult females and males. While previous research has explored gender differences in genre preferences, this study aimed to explore gender differences in artist preferences, by establishing that participants' lists of favourite artists contained an unequal ratio of males and females. Consistent with a wide range of research on gender-biased performance evaluations and gender socialization, this gender bias was stronger in the majority of males. Future research with larger samples will explore the trends across cultures and sexual orientations. It is argued that gender preference is an important and defining characteristic of music preferences, particularly for young white Australian males.
