Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between trait social anxiety, cognitions of perfectionism, and state music performance anxiety. Seventy-seven (77) members of a university piano club completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970) twice, before and after their performance. In addition, as indices of main factors for state music performance anxiety, cognitions of perfectionism before performance, audience and interaction anxieties, and self-oriented perfectionism were measured. Results showed that of two social anxiety tendencies, only audience anxiety, and of three cognitions of perfectionism, only concern over mistakes significantly explained pre-performance state anxiety. An interaction effect of the two variables was found; that is, audience anxiety significantly explained pre-performance state anxiety only in high concern-over-mistakes group. These findings should provide some practical suggestions for musicians and their educators.
