DYK nomination[edit]

Psychology of music preference peer review[edit]

Your writing style was really clear and concise, which made your article easy to read and understand. More external links could be added, but I mostly have small details for review:

In the very first sentence, I think “peoples'” should be “people’s.” In the third sentence of your introduction, capitalize the first word. The introduction provides a great overview of what you later discuss.

In the first sentence of the Openness to experience section, “Openness to experience has been shown to have the largest affect”, change “affect” to “effect.” In the sentence, “One of the facets of openness to experience is aesthetic appreciation, which is why researchers generally explain the high positive correlation between openness and liking complex music,” do you mean “how researchers generally explain…”? Lastly, I am not sure if we can say “another interesting study” because that adds an element of opinion and the phrase “this is very interesting because…” is not needed.

In this sentence in the extraversion section, “People rated high in extraversion tend to like social…” do you mean “people rating high” or “people who rated high”? Also in the sentence, “Based these findings, one study comparte introverts and extroverts,” add “based on” and “compared.” Phrases like, “Differences can probably…” seem less factual than what Wikipedia requires.

The conclusions about gender, age, and mood at the end are very concise – nicely written! Great job finding a topic that had enough references to be really specific. The article nicely centers around the Big Five and some other factors, which lets the reader gain a focused message from the article.

Peer Review[edit]

Overall I thought this was a clear and enjoyable article! The structure was good and I especially liked that you included a section with other factors.

Here are some suggestions for specific sentences:

In your lead section: "Most people hear some form of music everyday, and it affects us in many ways from emotion regulation to our cognitive development, along with providing a means for self-expression. [1]" I would suggest avoiding the use of "our" and "us," and instead just directly say "affects emotion regulation, cognitive development, along with providing a means for self-expression."

Make sure to capitalize the first letter in the sentence "Music training has been shown to help improve intellectual development and ability..."

It would be better to avoid using the word "interesting," to characterize studies because it sounds like you stating a point of view and makes the article seem less objective. ("This is very interesting because it suggests that high openness leads to the idea of being smarter..." and "One other interesting study had people take a personality test before and after listening to classical music..." and "An interesting study examined music teachers and music therapists, assuming that people who like and deal with music that..")

"So, no matter how much music people listen to they are still equally affected and distracted by music with lyrics[15]." I would suggest deleting the word "So" to make it more straightforward.

"An interesting study examined music teachers and music therapists, assuming that people who like and deal with music that much would be more extroverted" I would suggest replacing "that much," which is extremely vague, with "on a daily basis."

"Music producing nostalgia effects has been shown to have large predictive effects on people of all ages[19]" You use the word "effects" twice which makes the sentence a bit confusing. Consider deleting the first one.

Finally, look over the citations at the end of sentences because they should be outside of the period. You might also want to include one more source since the references section only lists 19.

A trait is missing[edit]

The article talks about five traits but only lists four. Looking at the five traits article, concienciousness is missing. Is this a simple mistake? Difficultly north (talk) 11:40, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wide Array of Sources[edit]

This article has a wide variety of strong sources that are still relevant and work within the wiki page giving plenty of strong evidence to the claims.
