The cognitive engine of evaluative threat: socially prescribed perfectionism and Music Performance Anxiety—a moderated mediation analysis of rumination and self-compassion
Overview
This study examines how socially prescribed perfectionism influences music performance anxiety through rumination and self-compassion in 606 university music students. The authors identify rumination as a key mediator and describe self-compassion's complex role as both a buffer against pressure and a factor that may intensify the link between rumination and anxiety. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in the cognitive mechanisms underlying performance anxiety.
