“…Individuals do not respond to evaluative situations in the same way. Evidence suggests that individuals with different characteristics (e.g., age, gender, experience, and expertise level) can perceive and respond to conditions giving rise to performance anxiety or test anxiety in distinct ways (Losiak, 2005;Chow and Mercado, 2020). Chow and Mercado (2020) looked at how task-specific expertise and past experiences moderate the degree to which individuals become anxious in a given performance context.…”

Literature suggests that music performance anxiety (MPA) is prevalent in adolescence, a developmental period with increased likelihood of experiencing anxiety under evaluative conditions. Evidence also indicate that individuals may respond to evaluative situations in distinct ways. Factors contributing to the individuality of responses in evaluative situations (such as test taking and musical performance) are not yet fully understood. This study investigated student typologies in adolescent instrumental learners. Participants included 410 learners who completed the Young Musicians’ Performance Questionnaire. K-Means cluster analysis revealed three typologies: Cluster 1 – moderately anxious students evidencing lower levels of motivation and feeling ineffective but guarding their self-esteem; Cluster 2 – highly anxious students evidencing negative self-perceptions and being susceptible to experiencing maladaptive MPA; Cluster 3 – low anxious students evidencing high levels of motivation and confidence and inclined toward experiencing adaptive MPA. The 3-cluster solution effectiveness was validated with discriminant analysis. Significant associations between examination achievement and cluster membership revealed variations between clusters. Thematic analysis of qualitative data facilitated further understanding of their characteristics. This study adds to the body of MPA literature by exploring the different ways with which adolescent musicians interpret and respond to anxiety inducing situations. Findings have implications for clinical and educational practice.

“…A detail explanation of how anxiety levels affect, as well as how anxiety levels affect performance, needs to be undertaken. Although it still requires further complex examination, it is particularly somehow related to Hardy & Fazey catastrophe model of anxiety and performance [26] [32] as described in the introduction.…”

This study aimed to describe the differences in correlation of forgiveness and hope as well as life satisfaction according to anxiety levels and sex among adolescents living with the imperfect family structure. A total of 171 Indonesian teenagers involved were students of a state vocational school in Semarang obtained through stratified cluster random sampling (age range was 14 to 18, MAge=16.01, SDAge=0.911, Male=62,57%). The measurements used Forgiveness Scale (α=0.867), SHS (α=0.701), SWLS (α=0.733), and DASS-Anxiety (α=0.662). The result of Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis analysis showed that the three positive psychological constructs were significantly distinguished by anxiety levels and sex. Male teenagers tended to be more forgiving, had higher hope and life satisfaction than female teenagers. In addition, these variables decreased along with anxiety. The Spearman's rho correlation test between variables according to sex showed that forgiveness contributed to hope and life satisfaction more in females. Forgiveness had the highest and significant contribution to hope and life satisfaction in those with severe to profound anxiety levels; in which hope showed the correlation coefficient increased with anxiety. In contrast to male teenagers where forgiveness contributed significantly to hope only among those who had moderate anxiety levels, forgiveness in female teenagers had the lowest contribution to hope in those with moderate anxiety levels while the highest in those with severe to profound anxiety levels. In male teenagers, forgiveness contributed significantly to life satisfaction only among those with severe to profound anxiety levels; whereas in female teenagers, the contribution was also significant among those who had moderate anxiety levels. In contrast to male teenagers whose contribution of hope to life satisfaction increased along with anxiety, females showed a decrease.
