Participants Wanted: Attention Focus in Guitar Performance
Do you play guitar?
I am recruiting guitarists of all ability to take place in a study investigating the effects of different attention foci on guitar performance and performance anxiety. To take part, please book a 30-minute slot through the link below when you are available to take part in person (if you are having trouble accessing the booking page, please let me know by email at [email protected] and I will get you signed up)!
In this study you will practice a very short and simple guitar melody a week in advance and then play the piece under 5 different focus conditions in person. You will receive the study materials (guitar tab, sheet music and a recording) for you to practice 1 week before testing. The study should only take 30 minutes to complete and there is a £5 compensation! There will be an acoustic, electric guitar and guitar amp provided at the study, but feel free to bring your own guitar! If you do not have a guitar in St Andrews for practice, please contact me and I can provide a guitar and arrange practice times/location. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me!
The UTREC code for the study is PS16526.
Thank you!!
