Abstract

This study explored the relationship between music preference, spiritual well-being, and moral reasoning. Moral Competence Test (MCT), Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), and music preference survey were administered with 301 students. The students who primarily listened to Christian music scored higher on SWBS, while all the students scored similarly on MCT.
