Abstract

Social anxiety is the fear of being examined by others, the fear of being criticized or humiliated in performance should be demonstrated in situations. Performance anxiety is considered within the scope of social anxiety. Music performance anxiety (MPA) is a specialized form of performance anxiety, can be explained in many ways, largely including genetic, biological, behavioral, physiological, cognitive and past experiences. In this study, models and theories for explaining MPA are reviewed. Studies focus on the fact that physical arousal level, physical symptoms, negative self-perception, and cognitive schemas sustain this disorder. The exacerbated form of MPA can lead to social phobia, and stage fright. Studies in the field suggest behavioral, cognitive, learning, physiological techniques for the treatment of MPA. In this study, group-specific characteristics of MPA, interventions are included.

Sosyal anksiyete ve performans anksiyetesi bağlamında müzik performans anksiyetesi

Abstract

Sosyal anksiyete; sosyal ortamlarda başkaları tarafından incelenme ile performans gösterilmesi gereken durumlarda eleştirilme ya da küçük düşme korkusunun yaşanmasıdır. Performans anksiyetesi, sosyal anksiyete kapsamında ele alınır. Müzik performans anksiyetesi (MPA), performans anksiyetesinin özelleşmiş bir formudur. MPA, büyük oranda genetik, biyolojik, davranışsal, fizyolojik, bilişsel ve geçmiş deneyimlerin içine alındığı birçok şekilde açıklanabilmektedir. Yapılan çalışmalar, özellikle fiziksel uyarılmışlık düzeyi, fiziksel belirtiler, olumsuz benlik algısı ve bilişsel şemaların bu bozukluğu sürdürdüğü üzerine odaklanmaktadır. MPA’nın şiddetlenmiş hali sosyal kaygı ve fobiye, daha da şiddetlenmiş hali ise sahne korkusuna yol açabilmektedir. Alanyazındaki araştırmalar, MPA’nın tedavisi için davranışçı, bilişsel, öğrenme ve fizyolojik teknikleri önermektedirler. Bu çalışmada MPA’nın gruba özgü özellikleri ile MPA odaklı müdahalelere ve tedavilere yer verilmektedir.
