Impact of violent music on adolescents
The objective of this study is to determine how violent music influences the behavior of adolescents. According to b. F. Skinner, "voluntary behavior appears without the intervention of an observable background stimulus" being the most valuable peculiarity is that it starts, last or change for it and obtain consequences such as reinforcers, with which it holds a synergetic treatment. This Skinner called free operating behavior. (Suarez de Puga, 2013).
Urban music is cataloged by most of society, as a genre that does not contribute anything positive to youth, such as rap and reggaeton, due to the explicit content of its lyrics, where the vast majority of artists promote sex, drugs, alcohol and even violence through this type of musical rhythms, which were created with other purposes and as a way to identify a certain group of people. For this reason, this issue should be studied, since parents generate all artists as criminals, rapists, drug addicts etc., Because their own writings encourage the vast majority of the population to always have a destructive criticism for them (Ponce Redrobán, 2017).
Therefore, songs as a management utensil have a negative effect on adolescents, making these young build their person not only relying on the novelty of fashion, language and even in a succession behaviors, but also with music,grouping them with individuals with whom they identify and thus become groups. Similarly, all this leads to a vicious circle in which young people are the protagonists, since they seek a means of expression, identification, entertainment and evasion through music. The human being is so influenced by the music that it has been used to encourage boldness as if it were serenity, as well as use it with the use of therapies to reconcile sleep, relaxation, or concentration, depending on the type of music and timeappropriate. (Jácome Sosoranga, 2015).
Likewise, music and its aggressive, provocative and sometimes even obscene or satanic messages cause adolescents to use it as a natural means of communication, which imitate and put into practice permanently in their daily life. Similarly, this author points out that music can play an important role in the socialization of the adolescent group, becoming a symbol in its search for identity and autonomy of the family. Therefore, listen to music and watch music videos are two of the most important activities during adolescence. It is found that they and they listen to music since they get up until they go to bed and even many use it as a background while they sleep, study, in the shower;when they do their homework;They help in the homework;They go on the bus, by car, on a motorcycle;they watch television;They talk to friends;They walk and even social meetings. (Castro Pérez, 2013)
For this reason described by Castro, is that the study of this topic must be carried out. Today’s music looks more and more full of violence and this is inserted into young people. If we have a violent youth, the future that awaits us will be the same way. To avoid this, a study must be carried out where solutions to the problem are sought, measure the incidence that it has in adolescents and what are the most affected groups.
In addition to the above, there has been a great concern about the increase in content that refers to sex, drugs and suicide, as well as the allusions to death and satanism. This concern greatly influence the behavior of young people, since it triggers desensitization to the aforementioned acts mentioned above. Stereotypes, attitudes biased by sexual roles, the approval of reckless and risky behaviors (Castro Pérez, 2013) raised, at the same time.
Through a survey conducted to the elderly, it was visualized that 56% of the people who think that urban music does influence that youngThey commit these acts within youth (Ponce Redrobán, 2017).
In conclusion, an experiment was carried out to prove the effects of rock musical videos on the impressions of a teenager who was subsequently seen performing an antisocial act. Subsequently, the impact on the adolescent was much more negative after seeing the recordings that were made of neutral music, when they presented immoral attitudes to the experimenter than when they did not. Then the videos with antisocial content, the associal act had an insignificant effect, if not otherwise, on impressions. The results and implications are discussed in terms of socio -cognitive theories of information processing. (Hall Hansen, 2010)
