Abstract
Popular music is important to the emotional lives of many adolescents. It has been found that adolescents in the US (Hakanen, 1994; Wells, 1990; Wells & Hakanen, 1991) and Japan (Wells, Hakanen, & Tokinoya, 1998) use popular music quite frequently to express or modify their emotions. However, differences in who uses music to express particular emotions have been shown. This paper asks: What types of music do Hong Kong adolescents prefer? Do they use music for emotional management; and, if so, how? It investigates the degree to which Hong Kong adolescents identify emotions with listening to their favourite music, and use music to manipulate their emotional moods. The results are then compared to the previous studies done in Japan and the US.
