Abstract

In a sample of 379 adults, domains from the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders and the triarchic model of psychopathy correlated with music and movie preferences. The results did not entirely coincide with the literature on normal-range personality, and preferences for music dubbed as “problem” entertainment predicted no maladaptive traits.
