This study investigated the music performance anxiety experiences of musicians in Turkey (N = 270), including their physical and cognitive symptoms of anxiety, their methods of coping with performance stress, and their perceived need for related resources. Analysis of the data revealed statistically significant differences in gender, with female music students reporting more frequent performance anxiety symptoms than male students. Reported physical and cognitive symptoms varied across age groups. The anxiety management solutions mentioned most frequently among students included increasing practice and self-motivation; other solutions included engaging in informal performances, practicing meditation or breathing exercises, or relying on medication or alcohol. Almost a quarter (23.5%) of students surveyed indicated they do not know how to manage their anxiety or have not found a workable solution. When asked what additional resources were needed, a third of music students and half of the music teachers surveyed indicated a desire for greater psychological support in the music schools. Others expressed interest in new courses on performance psychology, working with an expert in the field, participating in more required performance events, and having wider access to books and printed resources.

这项研究调查了土耳其音乐家的音乐表演焦虑经历（N= 270），包括其焦虑的身体和认知症状，应对表现压力的方法以及对相关资源的感知需求。对数据的分析显示出统计学上性别上的显着差异，女音乐系学生报告的表演焦虑症状比男系学生更为频繁。报告的身体和认知症状随年龄段的不同而不同。在学生中最常提到的焦虑管理解决方案包括增加练习和自我激励；其他解决方案包括参加非正式表演，练习冥想或呼吸练习或依靠药物或酒精。接受调查的学生中，近四分之一（23.5％）表示他们不知道如何管理焦虑症或找不到可行的解决方案。当被问及还需要什么额外资源时，接受调查的音乐学生中有三分之一和音乐教师中有一半表明，他们希望在音乐学校获得更多的心理支持。其他人则表示对新的表演心理学课程感兴趣，与该领域的专家合作，参加更多要求的表演活动，并有更多的书籍和印刷资源可供使用。
