The relation between musical preferences and depression among adolescents. Adolescents are a population that is particularly vulnerable to the effects of music, while depression is the most common psychopathology in this developmental period. Studying the connection between musical preferences and depression in adolescents therefore needs to be given special attention. The purpose of our study was to examine how different musical preferences are associated with depression and whether these links differ according to gender. The database collected on a sample of 272 adolescents (193 female and 79 male) was obtained using the Beck Depression Inventory - BDI II and the Short Test of Music Preferences - STOMP. On the basis of results from the research, we found that a preference for Reflective & Conventional music styles was connected negatively to depression, while a preference for the Rebellious music style is positively connected to depression. The important value of our research consists in our having tested the Slovene version of STOMP. The results show that STOMP’s validity is questionable.

Tako smo želeli v raziskavi osvetliti odnos med tema dvema aktualnima fenomenoma v mladostnikovem življenju. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 272 mladostnikov (193 deklet in 79 fantov). Podatke smo pridobili s pomočjo Beckove lestvice depresivnosti (BDI II) in Kratkega testa glasbenih preferenc (STOMP). Na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov smo ugotovili, da se preferiranje refleksivne in konvencionalne glasbe z depresivnostjo povezuje negativno, medtem ko je preferiranje uporniške glasbe z depresivnostjo povezano pozitivno. Razlike med spoloma niso bile potrjene. Opozorili smo tudi na problem veljavnosti vprašalnika STOMP, saj se je njegova veljavnost na slovenskem vzorcu izkazala za vprašljivo.
