The study found no substantial increase in sexism after exposure to misogynistic music, and paradoxically found that non-misogynistic music aroused feelings of sexism. The study also found that while hostile and benevolent sexism in males increased after exposure to non-misogynistic music, only benevolent sexism was seen to increase in females (3036).

While Armstrong's article approached the subject matter contained in Eminem's music from a sociological and commercial perspective, Cobb and Boettcher seek to study the effects of the message conveyed in Eminem's music. Armstrong explores Eminem's place in a black dominated genre, analyzing how he adapted and was groomed to become one of hip-hop's most successful artists. Cobb and Boettcher's article, on the other hand, explores the effects of misogynistic and violence, particularly the Eminem's lyrics.
Approached from a psychological perspective, the study produced shocking and unexpected results.

While Cobb and Boettcher did not achieve their expected results, they do delve into the constructs of social and music constructs. Cobb and Boettcher analyze the socio-ethic constructs of Eminem's key demographic, whereas Armstrong analyzes the commercial development of Eminem's image and music. Further analysis of intended demographic targets and their response to hip-hop music from other might provide better insight into how musicians' messages are conveyed. Additionally, individual audience backgrounds should be taken into consideration as personal experiences may or may not influence how they approach a specific genre or artist.
