Music performance anxiety (MPA) is described as a persistent apprehension that compromises performative skills both in solo and group performances. The aim of this systematic review was to discuss an overview of research articles addressing the characteristics of MPA as experienced by undergraduate music students. The search was undertaken in the databases Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and Eric; of 1526 articles identified by the search keywords, 43 were selected for review through the PRISMA protocol. The study types included cross-sectional, experimental, longitudinal, descriptive, questionnaire survey, qualitative study, exploratory and retrospective follow-up designs. This review evidences the diversity of the contexts and topics addressed by current research, namely issues of prevalence, predictors of anxiety/risk factors, relationship between flow experience (FE) and MPA, and coping with MPA, adopting psychological, cognitive, physiological and behavioral perspectives. Notwithstanding, the review has also identified a lack of qualitative and longitudinal studies, studies on institutional teaching contexts, and of larger and more representative participant samples, which could promote a better understanding of the etiology of MPA among students attending higher education.
O presente trabalho investigou o treinamento em biofeedback para o controle da Ansiedade na Performance Musical (APM) pela ótica de um músico, com o objetivo de estudar processos de autorregulação fisiológica inerentes à atividade. A metodologia teve como ponto de partida o programa de treinamento em biofeedback estabelecido e testado por Chaló (2016) com estudantes universitários, adaptado para o âmbito da performance musical por Barros et al. (2019). Neste estudo, as oito sessões de treinamento planejadas foram divididas em duas fases com modalidades de simulação da performance distintas: mental e virtual. Após cada sessão foram anotadas reflexões acerca da experiência do participante. Ao término do programa de treinamento, os dados fisiológicos registrados pelo equipamento de biofeedback foram comparados com os relatos do diário reflexivo. A análise permitiu identificar atitudes e estratégias que viabilizam o foco e a concentração na atividade, mapear o processo de obtenção da autorregulação fisiológica e identificar pontos positivos e negativos do treinamento em biofeedback no contexto do controle da APM. Além disso, os resultados destacam aspectos subjetivos que podem afetar o comportamento de músicos em pesquisas que envolvam controle da ansiedade através de biofeedback.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
