The Social Psychology of Music : Edited by David J. Hargreaves and Adrian C. North

This book provides a ground-breaking, comprehensive 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. The topics include: personality; gender; listening situations; non-Western cultures; musical skill; performance; music therapy; consumer behaviour; and music education.
