“…Ebenso wie beim Sport und Tanz (Hill et al, 2018), liegt es auch mit Blick auf die Ansprüche einer professionellen Musikausübung nahe, Perfektionismus als zentralen Aspekt der Musikerpersönlichkeit zu betrachten (Mor et al, 1995 (Hewitt & Dyck, 1986 (Kenny et al, 2004).…”

ZusammenfassungBislang existieren kaum (musik-)psychologische Studien, welche die gesundheitliche Situation von Berufssänger/innen adressieren. Mit N = 313 Teilnehmenden handelt es sich bei der hier vorgestellten Forschungsarbeit um eine der bislang größten Studien, in welcher gesundheitspsychologische Aspekte bei Profisänger/innen untersucht wurden. AbstractOnly few (music-)psychological studies have investigated the health of professional singers up to now. The presented study, with a sample of N = 313 participants, is currently one of the most extensive studies that examines aspects of psychological health in professional singers. The study shows that professional singers have lower values in 16 out of 27 burnout markers in comparison with a representative sample. The other eleven burnout variables did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The predictors of the regression analysis explained up to 40 percent of the variance of the criterion burnout. The strongest predictors were recovery skills, optimism and pessimism. Perfectionism, which is strongly pronounced in musicians, could not be identified as a significant predictor. With regard to preventive or rehabilitative interventions, it seems to be more effective to concentrate on the resources (recovery skills, optimism) instead of the allegedly negative aspects (perfectionism) when it comes to (potential) burnouts of professional singers.

“…The instrument also assesses elements related to personal history, particularly with the respondent's relationship with his or her parents, but also to attention received during childhood, in accordance with the anxiety theory proposed by Barlow. 2 The original study reported excellent internal consistency (a = 0.94) and concurrent validity with trait anxiety and state scales, as well as with another tool for assessment of MPA (r . 0.80).…”

“…It may happen in both solo and group performances, with any instrument as well as when singing. [1][2][3][4][5] MPA is understood as a specific subtype of social anxiety disorder (SAD) and its severity varies continuously, from the normal anxiety inherent to the music profession to symptoms such as feelings of terror and near-panic, 6,7 which may cause substantial impacts on performers.…”

Objective: To assess the discriminative capacity of the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI), in its version adapted for Brazil, in a sample of 230 Brazilian adult musicians. Method: The Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) was used to assess the presence of social anxiety indicators, adopting it as the gold standard. The Mann-Whitney U test and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistical analysis, with p f 0.05 set as the significance level. Results: Subjects with social anxiety indicators exhibited higher mean total K-MPAI scores, as well as higher individual scores on 62% of its items. The area under the ROC curve was 0.734 (p = 0.001), and considered appropriate. Within the possible cutoff scores presented, the score -15 had the best balance of sensitivity and specificity values. However, the score -7 had greater specificity and accuracy. Conclusion: The K-MPAI showed appropriate discriminant validity, with a marked association between music performance anxiety and social anxiety. The cutoff scores presented in the study have both clinical and research value, allowing screening for music performance anxiety and identification of possible cases.

“…MPA is a multidimensional phenomenon that often affects professional musicians and music students during their music performances and that can have strongly impact not just on an isolated performance, but also on the career and mental health of the affected ones 2,3 . It has, until recently, been conceptualized as a unidimensional phenomenon with career stress at the low end and stage fright at the high end 1 .…”

“…In the original study presented by Kenny et al 2 , the K-MPAI was tested for its internal consistency and demonstrated 0.94 Cronbach's alpha. It also presented positive and significant correlations with the state and trait subscales of the STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) -which is a general anxiety assessment instrument -and with the Cox & Kenardy MPA Scale (CK-MPA) -which is a specific instrument to assess MPA.…”

Background: The Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI) is very significant among the available instruments which measures Musical Performance Anxiety (MPA). Objective: The aim of this study is to find evidence of validity of the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI), in its translated and adapted Brazilian version, through the study of its factor structure. Methods: A convenience sample of 230 amateur musicians completed the K-MPAI. Results: The initial factor analysis yielded eight factors, explaining 62.4% of variance. However, due to the factors' composition and internal consistency values lower than 0.50, the number of factors was later set at three, considering the internal consistency of those, the theoretical propositions and symptomatology aspects that supported the construction of scale. They were named "Worries and insecurity" (α = 0.82), "Depression and hopelessness" (α = 0.77) and "Early parental relationships" (α = 0.57). Discussion/Conclusions: These results point to the scale's construct validity, since they support the theoretical basis used for the development of the K-MPAI and the clinical manifestations of the MPA.
