Question: I'm doing an experiment into how more upbeat music is usually chosen as an extroverts favourite style of music. How to I go about collecting data for this experiment?
Both links will explain how to calculate the scores.
Basically you want to be able to show that the higher someones score on extraversion on the personality scale, the higher their scores are on upbeat music styles. Where one increases, another does too. This is known as a positive correlation. Both variables go up.
Once you have your materials, you need to get some participants! Over to you on that one 🙂
As for Steve above, I think this is a pretty easy study to run. You can ask about music preferences and then measure personality, and then correlate extraversion/introversion with music preferences. There are loads of personality measures (even some really short 10-item ones – you can google the 10-item five factor model inventory).
