Sociology of Culture: The grades have been submitted...

...although you may have to wait a few days for UNT to process them. If you have questions, I'm reachable by email. Happy Holidays!

More results on our class's musical dislikes

GENDER: Genres disliked more by women: ethnic, classical, heavy metal (by alot), garage Genres  disliked  more by men: rap, jazz, rock, oldies, pop, religious, easy, country (by alot) Maybe male sociology majors are more bohemian/alternative, while females are more mainstream in their cultural tastes? Any other explanations? AGE: There were no big differences across age groups in terms of disliking specific genres. WEALTH: Students with wealthier parents disliked almost every genre more than did students with less wealthy parents. The only exceptions : religious and pop music, which were more disliked by less wealthy students. Any explanations?
