This dissertation employs survey research methods in the analysis and mapping of the structures underlying contemporary popular music preferences and functions served by music listening in a narrowly targeted undergraduate sample. Gender differences in preference and function are examined throughout a series of statistical analyses. Final exploratory analyses examine possible connections among emerging structures of preference and function. This dissertation addresses a theoretical problem in previous quantitative studies of the functions served by contemporary popular music use. The usefulness of this literature is restricted by the consistent misconceptualization of "popular music" as a meaningful genre. Building upon the work of Christenson and Peterson (1988), this study argues that popular music is more meaningfully conceptualized as an "umbrella" term, containing a diverse collection of musical genres and subgenres. A questionnaire was administered to 448 undergraduates at Indiana University--Purdue University at Indianapolis. In addition to demographic information, Likert responses were collected to a series of 34-items in an inventory of musical genres, and 24-items in an inventory of function statements. Data from both preference and function inventories were factor analyzed. The results of initial correlation analyses of preference items reflect both the fragmented character of contemporary popular music and an array of inter-genre relationships supportive of various studies of popular music history. The structures of musical preferences were found to be multidimensional with no easily interpretable solutions emerging. Factor analyses of function items were suggestive of a dominance of intrapersonal uses of music for all audience members. In the analyses of preference and function items, the significant gender differences observed are primarily supportive of previously described differences in the socialization of males and females in Western culture. The results of exploratory regression analyses seeking interrelationships among structures of preference and function suggest theoretical difficulties potentially present in the application of quantitative survey research methods in the specific case of the contemporary popular music audience. Various observations regarding the design and direction of future research are examined. In particular, the heuristic potential of a media functions approach to primarily affective media content is considered in a concluding discussion.
