The research question I would like to answer now is: are preferences for international music styles (consistently) linked to values? I answer this question in three steps looking at the value orientations endorsed by people who like listening to Rock, Pop and Classical music, respectively.

  Rock and Metal music

Let's start with people who like Rock and Metal music. Preferences for Rock and Metal music are negatively related to conservative values (see diagram below). Correspondingly, preferences for Rock and Metal music are positively associated with openness to change values. This means, fans of international rock and metal are likely to pursue stimulation (such as, excitement, novelty, and challenge in life) and self-direction (such as, independent thought and action choosing, creating, exploring), whereas they do not value tradition (e.g., by being humble, devout, respect for tradition, being moderate), security (e.g., family security, national security, social order) and conformity (e.g., politeness, being obedient, self-discipline). The link between Rock music and openness to change values can be considered consistent although this link was not statistically significant in the Philippines and in New Zealand. No consistent link was found between a preference for rock music and self-transcendence values. Liking Rock and Metal music was only linked to endorsing self-transcendence value orientations in Germany. The more Germans disapproved of self-transcendence values the less they were likely to appreciate international Rock and Metal music.

  Pop and Hip Hop music
  Classical music and Jazz
