The studied followed the students for four years, from the ages of 12-16. It should be noted that those students who liked rock music at age 12 were relatively well behaved, but were more likely to engage in bad behavior at 16.
Before anyone jumps to any rash conclusions, it should be noted that correlation does not equal causation.
