음악전공 대학생들의 연주불안과 특성불안과의 관계

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors influencing Music Performance Anxiety(MPA) by analyzing the relationship between MPA and trait anxiety among college music majors by gender and major. The subjects were 170 college music majors who were enrolled in music department at two universities in Busan. MPA was measured by K-MPAS developed by Bae(2020) and trait anxiety was measured by STAI developed by Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene(1970). The results are as follow: First, it was found that most of the students (89.4%) who participated in this study experienced MPA above the middle level, of which 47% experienced MPA above the upper level and 13.5% experienced the highest level. However, in terms of trait anxiety, most (81.8%) were found to be at a not very high level. These results indicate that MPA is a prevalent problem for college music major students, but it is an independent phenomenon that affects only a specific part of life, such as a performance situation. Second, according to gender, there was a significant difference in MPA (p< .01), but not in trait anxiety, and the level of MPA in female students was higher than that of male students. Third, according to major, there was a significant difference in MPA (p< .001), but not in trait anxiety, and string majors had the highest level of MPA and vocal majors had the lowest level of MPA. Fourth, it was found that, apart from gender and major variables, trait anxiety was a significant predictor of an individual s MPA. Based on these results, this study suggests that both personal and environmental factors are important to the MPA of college music major students.
