Another aim was to test the factor structure of K -PAI on a Polish sample. We analysed the relationship between the scores on K -PAI and general anxiety, depression, attentional control, the scores on the Behavioural Inhibition Scale (BIS) and the Behavioural Activation Scale (BAS) and reward susceptibility. Participants (N = 586) completed the questionnaires in a wider online study. The scores on K -PAI revealed a moderate to strong positive association with different measures of anxiety, trait -anxiety in particular, and negative associations with attentional control and susceptibility to reward. K -PAI scores were strongly associated with depression, but displayed no relationship with the BAS or any of its sub -dimensions. These results generally replicated those obtained on the K -MPAI -R with Australian and Peruvian musicians, indicating the cross -cultural validity of the K -MPAI -R and K -PAI. It is suggested that performance anxiety develops on the basis of the biological predispositions and early negative experiences in performance contexts.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Psychometric properties of the "Kenny-Music Performance Anxiety Inventory" modified for general performance anxiety}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/103971/PDF/PPB%203-18%206-J.Kantor%20i%20in.pdf}, doi={10.24425/119500}, keywords={performance anxiety, Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory-Revised, scale adaptation, cross-cultural validation}, }
