This study investigates the impact of positive or negative performance evaluations on general self-efficacy and subsequent choice of a solo or group performance among professional musicians ( N = 53; women 58.2%, men 36.4%, non-binary 5.5%). Participants completed personality questionnaires, sight-read an unfamiliar musical piece, received computer-generated feedback, and reported post-manipulation self-efficacy. Results showed that positive evaluations, even computer-generated, increased self-efficacy and were associated with a higher likelihood of choosing solo/ a cappella performance. While self-efficacy correlated with a greater preference for solo/ a cappella performance, it did not mediate the relationship between evaluation and performance choice. Findings align with Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, emphasizing the influence of mastery experiences and external feedback on self-efficacy development.

积极的音乐表演反馈有助于一般的自我效能感和独奏表演的选择


本研究调查了积极或消极的表现评估对专业音乐家的一般自我效能感和随后选择独奏或团体表演的影响 （ N = 53;女性 58.2%，男性 36.4%，非二元性别 5.5%）。参与者完成性格问卷，视读不熟悉的音乐作品，收到计算机生成的反馈，并报告操作后的自我效能感。结果显示，积极的评价，即使是计算机生成的评价，也会提高自我效能感，并且与选择独奏/无伴奏合唱表演的可能性更高有关。虽然自我效能感与对独奏/无伴奏合唱表演的更大偏好相关，但它并没有介导评估和表演选择之间的关系。研究结果与 Bandura 的自我效能理论一致，强调掌握经验和外部反馈对自我效能感发展的影响。
