This study was conducted to examine the relationship between personality and the strategy to use music among undergraduate students according to music major and non-music major. For this study, 131 students in total were surveyed in the study from two universities in Seoul about their personalities and music use strategies. The analysis of the survey results follows. First, according to the personality test results, ‘agreeableness’ posted the highest score and ‘openness’ marked second among the non-music major students. On the other hand, ‘agreeableness’ posted the highest score and ‘neuroticism’ marked second among the music major students. Second, the test results about music strategies show that all the surveyed students appeared to use music for ‘entertainment’ The test results by major reveal that music majors applied music for ‘strong sensation’ while non-music majors used it for ‘entertainment’ This difference is statistically significant. Third, to look at the relationship between students’ personalities and their music use strategies, students showing ‘extraversion’ used music for ‘revival’ among music major students. On the other hand, students with the personality of ‘agreeableness’ used music for ‘revival’ among non-music major. This study has a great significance in that the test results can help form the foundation for developing music use strategies by type of personality, and consequently designing therapy programs through music application in order to regulate emotions.
