Abstract

Unfortunately, musicians do not always enthusiastically welcome all opportunities to perform for an audience of people. Instead of sensing excitement to share their music with an audience, musicians sometimes feel apprehensive and anxious. This anxiety, commonly called “stage fright,” can be a serious and debilitating problem. Unfortunately, the problem can start in youth and continue into the performance lives of adult musicians. The fact that even successful musicians struggle with performance anxiety shows that it is fundamentally unwarranted; it does not stem from being untalented or ill-equipped to perform. From a psychological perspective, a proper treatment strategy cannot be prescribed without first diagnosing the source of anxiety. This chapter looks beyond the physiological symptoms to define performance anxiety by its causes and the conditions that produce it. The three broad sources of performance anxiety, the person, the situation, and the task, are explained in detail, with treatment suggestions made for each.
管理表现焦虑
不幸的是,音乐家并不总是热情地欢迎所有为观众表演的机会。音乐家们有时会感到不安和焦虑,而不是兴奋地与观众分享他们的音乐。这种焦虑,通常被称为“怯场”,可能是一个严重的、使人衰弱的问题。不幸的是,这个问题可能始于青年时期,并持续到成年音乐家的表演生涯。即使是成功的音乐家也会与表演焦虑作斗争,这一事实表明,这种焦虑从根本上说是没有根据的;它不是源于没有才能或没有能力去表演。从心理学的角度来看,如果没有首先诊断出焦虑的根源,就无法制定适当的治疗策略。本章将超越生理症状,通过其原因和产生它的条件来定义表演焦虑。对表现焦虑的三种主要来源——人、情境和任务——进行了详细解释,并针对每种来源提出了治疗建议。
