What the MPADQ Measures

The questionnaire scores musicians across two major dimensions of performance anxiety:

Symptomatology

Physical, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms you experience before and during performance.

Contributing Factors

21 sub-categories of personal, psychological, and situational factors that influence anxiety levels.
Your individual responses are kept confidential. Aggregated, anonymized data may be used for statistical research on performance anxiety prevalence and symptomatology.
