Reliability and Validity of the Korean Version of the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory / 신경정신의학

ABSTRACT

Methods@#Three hundred and sixty-nine students in art high school completed a battery of measures, including the Korean version of the KMPAI, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), and Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale-Korean version (FMPS-K). The construct validity of the Korean version of KMPAI was examined by performing explorative factor analysis. The reliability was assessed by the internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha. @*Results@#Explorative factor analysis for the construct validity showed that the Korean version of KMPAI was composed of seven factors (factor 1 Worry/dread and Negative cognitions; factor 2 Proximal somatic anxiety and Worry about performance; factor 3 Depression/hopelessness; factor 4 Parental empathy–Memory–Controllability; factor 5 Generational transmission of anxiety;factor 6 Trust; factor 7 Rumination), explaining 61% of the total variance. The T Concurrent validity with the other scales (STAI, LASA, CES-D, and FMPS-K) was statistically significant. The Cronbach’s alpha value for the internal consistency of the Korean version of KMPAI was excellent (r=0.961). @*Conclusion@#The Korean version of the KMPAI is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring music performance anxiety in Korea.
