The Social Psychology of Music - Tapa dura

This text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the social contexts in which people create, perform, perceive, understand and react to music. It represents the first attempt to define the field since Farnsworth's book of the same title published in 1969, including the newer areas of medicine, marketing, and education in which the social psychology of music has direct applications in the real world. After an opening review chapter, the remaining 14 chapters are divided into six sections: individual differences; social groups and situations; social and cultural influences; developmental issues; musicianship; and real world applications.
