“…The results for the other physiological variables are consistent with previous findings reporting increases in physiological arousal from an audience-free to a public pre-performance phase in musicians for HR (20,34) and blood pressure (34).…”

Objectives and Methods: Self-report studies have shown an association between music performance anxiety (MPA) and hyperventilation complaints. However, hyperventilation was never assessed physiologically in MPA. This study investigated (a) the self-reported affective experience, self-reported physiological symptoms, and cardio-respiratory variables including end-tidal pCO2 (PetCO2), which is an indicator for hyperventilation, in 67 university music students before a private and a public performance. The response coherence between these response domains was also investigated. Results: From the private to the public session, the intensity of all self-report variables increased (all ps<.001). As predicted, the higher the usual MPA level of the musician, the larger were these increases (all ps<.10). The main cardio-respiratory variables except PetCO2 also increased from the private to the public session (all ps<.05), but these increases were not modulated by the usual MPA level (all ps>.10). PetCO2 showed a unique response pattern as reflected by an interaction between usual MPA level and session (p<.01): it increased from the private to the public session for musicians with low MPA levels and decreased for musicians with high MPA levels. Self-reported physiological symptoms were related to the self-reported affective experience (all ps<.05) rather than to the physiological measures (all ps>.17).Conclusions: The present findings show for the first time how respiration is stimulated before a public performance in music students with different levels of MPA. The hypothesis of a hyperventilation tendency in high performance-anxious musicians is supported. The response coherence between physiological symptoms and physiological activation is weak.

“…Auditors are committed to the profession it will be loyal to his profession as perceived by the auditor. The motivation of an individual auditor will encourage the desire to perform certain activities for (Abel & Larkin, 1990). This study elicits the measurement of the performance of auditors (Trisnaningsih, 2004), namely (1) the ability, (2) commitment to the profession, (3) motivation, and (4) of job satisfaction, by adding (5) fraud as additional indicators in analyzing the performance of auditors.…”

This study aimed to test empirically the effect of emotional and spiritual intelligence to the enthusiasm of the work and performance of auditors. The study population was auditor who works at Public Accountant Office and Ministry of Finance of Indonesia South Sulawesi region. Online distribution of questionnaires carried out and from the results of the questionnaire, obtained 91 questionnaires that can be analyzed. Instrument research measured using Likert Scale point 1 to point 5. Engineering variance-based SEM (SEMPLS) with WarpPLS 5.0 used in this study. The results of the study provide evidence that emotional intelligence positive and significant effect on work enthusiasm. High spiritual intelligence in the same direction but did not significantly affect the increase in the work enthusiasm. Emotional intelligence has an insignificant effect on auditor performance. Spiritual intelligence has a real effect to improve the auditors' performance. Work enthusiasm has a positive and significant effect on auditors' performance. Emotional intelligence through the work enthusiasm has a significant effect on auditors' performance. Spiritual intelligence through work enthusiasm has an insignificant effect on auditors' performance.

“…In most studies, gender differences are documented, with women reporting higher levels of performance anxiety than men (e.g., Abel & Larkin, 1990;Craske & Craig, 1984;LeBlanc et al, 1997;Schröder & Liebelt, 1999).…”
