N2  - This study aimed at developing a preliminary version of the Attitudes toward Heavy Metal Scale (AHMS), providing evidence regarding its factorial structure and reliability. Participants were 203 undergraduate students from a public institution in João Pessoa (PB), with a mean age of 26 years (SD = 6.84), mostly female (59%). They answered the AHMS and demographic questions. A principal component analysis revealed a factorial structure composed by two factors, accounting for 51.7% of the total variance, named as deviant behaviors and satanic behaviors. These factors showed acceptable reliability coefficients (α = 0.90 for both). In conclusion, the findings seem coherent with the common perception of this music style, emphasizing thinks as drug abuse, suicide ideation, risk behaviors, and aggressiveness. © 2018, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.
