A ansiedade na performance musical em crianças de iniciação musical

: estudo de validação da escala MPAI-A

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to adapt the scale of the Music Performance Anxiety Inventory for Adolescents (MPAI-A) to young learners in the field of teaching Musica in the 1st cycle of Primary schools from the Portuguese version by Batista and Dias (2013). The scale was adapted and applied to 100 young learners (aged between 8 and 10 years old) of the musical initiation course, both genders. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC C-2) was also applied in its Portuguese version, in order to analyze the simultaneous validity between MPAI-A and STAIC C-2. The psychometric analysis has revealed high levels of reliability and validity, meaning the adapted version of MPAI-A is to be taken into account and applied to younger children in future assignments/projects on performance anxiety.
