Psychological Determinants of Stage Fright Among Touring Professionals and Amateur Musicians

Summary/Abstract: For the last 20 years the problem of stage fright has been interesting for many researchers in the field of psychology (Currie, 2001; Jackson, Latane, 1981; Kaleńska, 2004; Kenny, 2005; Kenny, Osborne, 2006; Kępińska-Welbel, 1990; Langendorfer, Hodapp, Kreutz, Bongard, 2006; Porczyk, 2009). Stage fright can help during a performance but hinder it at the same time. The excessive control of one’s behaviour has an impact on the quality of presentation. The consequence of it can be disastrous. Among musicians there are people who find it easy and natural to perform in front of the audience, but on the other hand there are people for whom public performance is a big trauma. The aim of this research is to attempt to answer the questions which personal and temperamental factors contribute to the intensification of stage fright phenomenon among performing musicians both amateur and professional. As it turns out the phenomenon of stage anxiety among musicians is associated with certain personality traits and temperament, as well as the anxiety as a trait and as a state.
