  1. Close political affiliation with the U.S. appears to discourage local music production (e.g. Guam) while simultaneously increasing the musical exports of that region (e.g. Hawai'i).

  2. The current study suffers from a number of limitations, most notably the relative small sample size.

  3. Detailed analysis of media characteristics and demographic factors might contribute to a better understanding of the processes of enculturation and globalization.
