Research suggests that person-based dispositional factors, as well as properties of the music, influence a person's musical taste. In this study, we examined the possibility that the interaction between the stressfulness of the music and a listener's capacity for handling stress contributes to that listener's musical preferences. The key prediction relating fitness to musical preference is that the stressfulness of the music should tend to reflect the person's capacity for handling stress, including his or her physical fitness. The study method made use of an online questionnaire to assess physical fitness, impulsivity and sensation-seeking tendencies, and musical preferences. To create an independent index for estimating musical stressfulness, a parallel study was conducted, where an independent group of judges assessed the stressfulness of the music identified by participants in the main study. The stressfulness of the music was predicted using the survey-based dispositional factors in two regression models, where sex, current age, education, current fitness, and age at the time of musical preference were found to predict the stressfulness of the preferred music. The results suggest that males, younger participants, people with fewer years of education, and those who are more physically fit tend to prefer more stressful music.

健身和音乐品味：身体健康的听众喜欢压力更大的音乐吗？

研究表明，基于人的性格因素以及音乐的属性会影响人的音乐品味。在这项研究中，我们研究了音乐的压力与听众处理压力的能力之间的相互作用是否会影响听众的音乐偏好的可能性。将适合度与音乐喜好相关的关键预测是，音乐的压力应倾向于反映人应对压力的能力，包括其身体适应性。该研究方法利用在线问卷调查来评估身体健康状况，冲动和寻求感觉的倾向以及音乐喜好。为了建立估计音乐压力的独立指标，我们进行了一项平行研究，由独立的评委小组评估主要研究参与者确定的音乐的压力。在两个回归模型中，使用基于调查的倾向因素来预测音乐的压力，其中发现性别，当前年龄，受教育程度，当前健康状况以及音乐偏好时的年龄可预测偏好音乐的压力。结果表明，男性，较年轻的参与者，受教育年限较短的人以及身体更健康的人倾向于喜欢压力较大的音乐。发现音乐喜好时的年龄和年龄可以预测首选音乐的压力。结果表明，男性，较年轻的参与者，受教育年限较短的人以及身体更健康的人倾向于喜欢压力较大的音乐。发现音乐喜好时的年龄和年龄可以预测偏好音乐的压力。结果表明，男性，较年轻的参与者，受教育年限较短的人以及身体更健康的人倾向于喜欢压力较大的音乐。
