It was hypothesized that there is likely to be a relationship between Music Preference and Flourish in University students and Gender will moderate the relationship between Music Preference and Flourish in University Students. Correlational Research Design was used. We took the sample of 170 students (men = 85 women =85), Age range 18-28 (M = 21.93. SD =2.53,) The sample was drawn by using Non-probability Purposive sampling technique. For Music Preference we used (STOMP) by Rentfrow and Gosling, and for Flourish we use PERMA profiler test scale (PERMA) by Butler and Kern. The result was analyzed by using Pearson product moment correlation. Pearson product moment correlation analysis showed that reflective and complex music was found to be significantly positively correlated with flourish, engagement meaning and accomplishment. Intense and Rebellious music, Upbeat and Conventional music, Energetic and rhythmic were found to be significantly positively associated with flourish. While intense and rebellious was found to be significantly negatively associated with positive emotions. Moderation analysis showed that nature of relationship between intense and rebellious music and flourish becomes negatively strengthen for men as compare to women. Most of the genres has positive and healthy impact on the mental health of the individuals. While few of them like rock and mental had negative impact on the overall being. Moreover, the moderating role of gender was also showed that men, who listen to intense and rebellious music had low level flourish and wellbeing as compare to women.
