Abstract

A questionnaire was given to the students and faculty of the University of Iowa School of Music to learn about their experiences with and attitudes about performance anxiety. Forty-nine (16.5%) of the 302 respondents indicated that their musical performance was impaired by anxiety. Over 21% of the respondents indicated that they experienced marked distress while performing and 16.1% indicated that performance anxiety had adversely affected their careers. Women more frequently reported distress and impairment due to performance anxiety than men. Age was not found to affect problems with performance anxiety. Poor concentration, rapid heart rate, tremor, sweating, and dry mouth were the most commonly reported anxious symptoms. Drug and alcohol use among this group of musicians was minimal. The findings suggest that performance anxiety is an important problem that may in some instances warrant medical treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
