Perceptual Experience and Auditory Inclination of Music According to the Sexuality

Music has evolved as a powerful medium in past few years. Not just to communicate your thoughts and feelings but also with many aspects that could be termed as mysterious nature of music unrevealed. In today’s mundane life the impression of music on one’s personality behaviour is so impactful that this perceptual cognitive adherence of music could be seen and observed clearly the way one behave and react with music. It has more to do with the auditory inclination of every individual, be like romantic, sad, and pop, jazz opera and many more. This proposed research paper would reveal how auditory inclination is related to personality and individual inclination of music according to sexuality. The result was, was an eye opener to the fact that music is just not what one listen but it has main relation to the one’s personality as well. Each individual that listen to music is the reflection of their personality unlike its dependency on sexuality aspect.


Introduction
To outline the research I took up for my Ph. D was to see how auditory inclination of music impacts the personality of every individual in all age groups i. e. from adolescents to older age people. As I proceed further I found that one who listen's music of their choice is actually related to the personality they possess. The auditory inclination is directly related to the personality one has and that what even reflect in their perceptual experience. This mundane life, music is the primary source to relax, to refresh and to rejuvenate from within.
There are mainly 23 genres in music from blue, pop, jazz, opera, to romantic, alternatives, funk etc. To point the individuals' music inclination I divided these genres into 4 groups as: 1. Upbeat: 2. Energetic, 3. Rebellious, 4. Complex.

Objective
1. To find that there is or there isn't any significant association in gender and personality for all music types and for all age groups. 2. To find that does liking for any type of music will have same type of effect on personality irrespective of gender 3.
