Abstract: People seem to be innately predisposed to react to music and it is used by people of all ages for all sorts of purposes. The study attempted to examine the relationship between music preference, extraversion and optimism among youth. A convenient sample of 30 participants were approached. Their age range were from 18 to 24. Spearman?s rho correlation coefficient was calculated to assess the relationships among study variables. The finding of the research revealed that Extraversion correlates positively with Energetic and Rhythmic (ER) and Upbeat and Conventional (UC) music. Further, result findings showed that Optimism associates positively with ER and Reflective & Complex (RC) music preference. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 24.
