Abstract

This study investigates how self-cultivating factors are associated with stress and academic achievement among performing arts students (dancers and musicians) and non-performing-arts students in Hungary (N = 325). Using a controlled-group design, data were collected with validated instruments assessing stress, self-efficacy, personal growth, life satisfaction, savoring art, academic grit, and subjective academic achievement. Pearson correlations and path analysis were applied to examine direct and indirect relationships among variables. Stress had a negative effect on academic achievement primarily through decreased well-being and self-efficacy, while savoring art and personal growth showed indirect positive effects. Dancers reported significantly higher self-efficacy than both musicians and non-arts students, whereas musicians scored higher in savoring art. Findings highlight the psychological strengths fostered through performing arts education and emphasize the role of self-cultivation traits in enhancing student resilience and academic success.

自我修养对学业成功的影响：压力与心理特征对表演艺术与非表演艺术学生的影响

本研究调查了匈牙利表演艺术学生（舞者和音乐家）和非表演艺术学生（N = 325）的自我培养因素与压力和学业成绩的关系。采用控制组设计，通过有效的工具收集数据，评估压力、自我效能、个人成长、生活满意度、艺术品味、学术毅力和主观学术成就。应用Pearson相关和通径分析来检验变量之间的直接和间接关系。压力主要通过降低幸福感和自我效能对学业成绩产生负面影响，而欣赏艺术和个人成长则有间接的积极影响。舞者的自我效能明显高于音乐家和非艺术专业的学生，而音乐家在品味艺术方面得分更高。研究结果强调了表演艺术教育培养的心理优势，并强调了自我修养特质在提高学生适应能力和学业成功方面的作用。
