Classical musicians are under constant pressure to perform at near perfect levels, and are highly vulnerable to the negative effects of music performance anxiety. This study aimed to examine the mechanisms by which two types of perfectionism (personal standards and evaluative concerns) relate to music performance anxiety, and to explore the moderating roles of active and avoidant coping on the relationship between these perfectionism types and music performance anxiety. A sample of 118 classical performing musicians (35 males, 82 females, 1 other; M_age = 42.00, SD = 14.68) were recruited to participate in an anonymous online questionnaire assessing music performance anxiety, coping and perfectionism. Results indicated that the two dimensions of perfectionism were positively associated with music performance anxiety. Personal standards perfectionism was associated with active coping, and evaluative concerns perfectionism with avoidant coping. Active coping moderated the relationship between personal standards perfectionism and performance anxiety, but only at high and medium levels. Contrary to the prediction, avoidant coping did not moderate the relationship between evaluative concerns perfectionism and performance anxiety. These findings highlight key relationships between music performance anxiety and the interaction of personal standards perfectionism and active coping.

调查应对方式对音乐表演焦虑和完美主义的调节作用

古典音乐家一直承受着以近乎完美的水平表演的压力，并且极易受到音乐表演焦虑的负面影响。本研究旨在探讨两种完美主义（个人标准和评价关注）与音乐表演焦虑相关的机制，并探讨积极和回避应对在这些完美主义类型与音乐表演焦虑之间的关系中的调节作用。118 名古典表演音乐家的样本（35 名男性，82 名女性，1 名其他；M_年龄 = 42.00，SD = 14.68）被招募参加匿名在线问卷调查，评估音乐表演焦虑、应对和完美主义。结果表明，完美主义的两个维度与音乐表演焦虑呈正相关。个人标准完美主义与积极应对有关，而评价则与完美主义与回避应对有关。积极应对缓和了个人标准完美主义和表现焦虑之间的关系，但仅限于高中水平。与预测相反，回避应对并没有缓和评价关注完美主义和绩效焦虑之间的关系。这些发现突出了音乐表演焦虑与个人标准完美主义和积极应对之间的关​​键关系。
