Digital age triggers: the role of social media evaluation in music performance anxiety.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study investigates the mechanisms underlying music performance anxiety (MPA) under conditions of digital visibility, focusing on how digital performance exposure and online evaluation anxiety jointly influence MPA, and how perfectionism and self-compassion moderate these processes. Grounded in social comparison and self-regulation frameworks, structural equation modeling was employed to test the hypothesized pathways among these variables. Results show that digital exposure significantly heightens online evaluation anxiety, which in turn predicts greater MPA, demonstrating a significant mediating pathway. Perfectionism strengthens the association between digital exposure and evaluation anxiety, whereas self-compassion buffers the link between evaluation anxiety and MPA. Multi-group analyses indicate that these structural relations vary by gender and professional identity: female and professional performers report higher sensitivity to evaluative feedback and stronger anxiety responses. These findings suggest that digital visibility broadens the social arena of musical performance while influencing performers' emotional dynamics. Promoting self-compassion and resilience may support emotional balance and adaptive functioning in increasingly evaluative digital environments.
