SELF ESTEEM AND THE DEMAND FOR APPROVAL
IN THEATRICAL PERFORMERS
AY413
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether there is a relationship between
3elf-e3teem, the need for approval and membership of specialised occupational groups in the
performing arts. The sample consisted of four groups currently employed as (1) Pit
a modified version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Index, the Demand for Approval factor from
the Irrational Beliefs Test, the Rosenberg Sensitivity to Criticism scale,
the Crowne-Marlowe Social Desirability Scale, and two subscales of the Fenigstein
Self-Consciousness scale. It was hypothesised that there would be groups differencesin levels
of self-esteem , demand for approval and sensitivity to criticism , and that due to the
"socially-sensitive" nature of the variables, a social desirability response and different levels
of private and public self-consciousness between groups may affect the results. Without
considering possible confounds, very few of the primary hypotheses were statistically
significant, most results falling just outside accepted probability levels. A significant negative
correlation was found , however, between self-esteem and the demand for approval ,
corroborating a similar finding by Daly & Burton (1983). Onstage performers and pit

interpretation of this response set was carried out using median-split percentage

Those rating maternal career approval a3 important had significantly higher mean levels of
the demand for approval factor, the private self-consciousness variable and the sensitivity to
criticism factor than other subjects. Discriminant validity was evidenced in the lack of a
significant correlation between the social desirability variable, often seen as "a need for

What makes someone choose performing as a career? What motivates an individual to spend
between 10 and 20 years learning a specialised craft, often with little financial support and
limited opportunity for employment at the end of the "apprenticeship"? Is it merely talent and
ambition, or are there emotional needs that spur someone on to a performing career?
Further more, is the choice of a career performi ng on stage i n front of an audience night after
night, indicative of a need for attention or recognition, hitherto unavailable from other
sources? Could this apparent preference to 'be in the spotlight" suggest a lack of 'inner
approval' or low self-esteem? These and other analogous questions provided a general
motivation, knowledge, personality and ability ' (Holland ,1985). Holland's theory of
vocational choice (Holland, 1985a ;1985b) holds that different occupations require
'different abilities, identifications, values and attitudes'. Rather than merely a set of isolated
life, an envi ronment which can "furnish different ki nds of gratifications or satisfactions"
(Holland ,1985). To the extent that an individual perceives their own abilities, values and
attitudes as commensurate with a particular career path and to the extent that this career will
meet the individual's needs and offer acceptable gratification, an occupational choice will be
made (Brockner ,1988). All things being equal, an individual can then presumably assess his
needs, wants and abilities appropriately , and choose a career path accordingly. However,
many other situational or external variables may affect the ultimate manifestation of that
decision. Social pressures from family members, friends, or society at large may channel
individuals into careers that are personally alien to them. Alternatively, market conditions
may force a choice of vocation less desirable and incongruous with these needs and abilities.
Korman (1966; 1967) has suggested that vocational choice i3 affected not only by external
factors as previously mentioned, but also by internal factors, in particular, an individual's
self-esteem. The construct of self-esteem has been defined in a variety of different ways,
with a reasonable concensus of opinion pointing to the existence of two types : global and

Many personality theorists have primarily focussed on the factors and processes which
specifically influence the development of self-esteem and seern to agree (Brockner, 1988)
that "early experience" has a major impact on personality development in general, arid self-
esteem in particular (Rosenberg, 1979). Several empirical studies (Coopersmith,1967;
Gecas & Schwalbe,1986; Peterson, Southworth & Peters, 1983) have shown that the more
parents foster a psychological climate that heightens childrens' perception of their own
supportive, and by spending "quality time" with them , the more likely they are to develop
high global self-esteem (Brockner, 1988). Without such a supportive environment, low
Studies which have primarily investigated the connection between self-esteem and
self-esteem as predictive of job-3earching tendencies (Ellis & Taylor, 1983) have generally
occurred within the area of organisational psychology . The results of such empirical research
have shown that a multitude of factors, both internal and external to individuals may affect the
choice of a particular occupation. Korman ( 1 9 7 0 ) suggests that individuals act and think in
ways that reinforce, or are consistent with, their existing level of self-esteem.
High self-esteem individuals therefore are seen to differ from their low self-esteem
counterparts in the ways that they think, feel and behave (Brockner , 1988). I n one study
(Shamir, 1986), low 3elf-esteem subjects were found to be more willing than high
self-esteem subjects to consider job offers that compromised their needs about two important
features of their job: professional content and level of pay. In another study (Korman , 1968),
it was found that of industrial foremen low in self-esteem were more likely to report that
their parents supervised their jobs and tasks than were the foremen high in self-esteem.
In this instance, one could hypothesise that the external (parental) influence may have had a
greater impact on the vocational choice of the low self-esteem subjects as compared with the
high self-esteem subjects. From this type of research, it appears that high se1f-e3teem
subjects are more likely to base their vocational choice on internal factors , or their own
self-evaluation, whereas low self-esteems' choices and behaviours can be viewed as more
influenced by external factors . Brockner, Derr, & Laing (1987) caution, however, that it
may be misleading to hypothesise that self-esteem causally effects occupational choice and
notes that most studies that incorporate self-esteem as an independent variable are
(ie. self-esteem x situation) rather than a main effect determinant of individual's work
The tendency of certain individuals to be easily influenced by external factors has been coined
framework and proposes that individuals' attitudes and behaviours will be influenced by
external cues to the extent that individuals attend to those external cues, comprehend the
meaning of those cues, and yield to the cues. Linking behavioural plasticity with self-esteem,
it is proposed that persons lacking self-confidence or certainty in their own beliefs and
behaviours may be more likely to be attentive to external or social cues, regard these cues as
guides for appropriate thought and action, be more adept at extracting greater understandings
of the cues' meanings and be more yielding (Brockner ,1988) or 'behaviourally plastic" than
their high self-esteem counterparts. Several studies (Dittes, 1959; Brockner, Derr & Laing,
1987; Shrauger & Sorman, 1977 ) have indicated that' attentiveness" or reactions to
negative appraisals or cues given to subjects by other group members were considerably
heightened in those with low self-e3teem when compared with those of high 3elf-esteem. It
may also be reasonable to suggest that those with low self-esteem may be reactive to negative
Se?t:->*sfo?m jntff&e>Jtyr$ptvM/
It could be hypothesised that those with low self-esteem may wish to avoid negative appraisals
that serve to " heighten* or reinforce their negative self-evaluation and seek ways of eliciting
more positive evaluations for themselves. One way to elicit such positive evaluations might be,
by their own reasoning, to conform to, or be influenced by, the beliefs and behaviours of
significant others (Jones, 1964). Proponents of self-presentation theory (Snyder ,1981,
in Brockner, 1988; Baumei3ter, 1 9 8 2 ) argue that 3ome individuals often go to great lengths
It is reasoned that low self-esteem individuals would 3eern to have a greater need for others"
approval than high self-esteemed subjects and therefore are more likely to engage in a self-
presentational strategy of conformity by going along with or being influenced by the behaviour
A similar notion was proffered by Crowne & Marlowe (1964) in describing the disposition to
conduct oneself in a socially desirable fashion to be commensurate with a 'need for approval",
accordingly assessed by responses on a social desirability scale. Indeed, in a study (Hewitt &
Goldman, 1974) using this measure in combination with evaluations, both positive and
negative, from "strangers" (experimental confederates), those with high scores on both the
Janis-Field Feelings of Inadequacy te3t( 1954) and the Crowne-Marlowe measure of social
desirability showed similar reaction patterns to those subjects who reported having low self-
esteem. Ina later study (Daly & Burton, 1983), "demand" (not defined a3 "need") for approval
was one of four specific irrational beliefs (Ellis ,1969; Jone3 ,1968) found to be useful

being shared by studies of musical ability and achievement (Seashore, 1938; Wing, 1962;
Shuter-Dyson, 1982).
Research which has attempted to define a relationship between personality and musical ability
has not always been greatly successful. In 1972, both Schleuter and Thayer(in Lipton, 1987)

However, in a series of studies by Kemp( 1981a; 1981 b;1981 c; 1982), he concluded that
" all musicians share a common core of traits which may be interpreted as musicianship-
linked". Intelligence introversion, self-sufficiency and sensitivity , were amongst the traits
found to be stable from childhood through to professional life (Kemp, 1981a). Most groups of
instrumentalists, as opposed to singers, showed a consistent tendency towards introversion,
suggesting that the trait might be somehow linked with the development of instrumental skilb
(Kemp, 1981b).
Ina small study of music students, Lehrer (1981,in Steptoe & Fidler,1987) identified five
cl usters of self-statements, amongst which were a lack of confidence and a fear of social
disapproval.
Another study, from the personality perspective, used projective tests to compare thirty
top-ranking musicians and composers in India with a group of non-musicians matched for sex,

Traditional social psychology research in a musical context ha3 been relatively rare in
comparison (Konencni,1982; Upton ,1987). One study (Young & Col man, 1 9 7 9 ) however,
has applied some of the findings of 3mall-group research from the social psychological
musicians, was presented from the social psychological perspective by Davies ( 1 9 7 8 ) who
studied an orchestra in Glasgow, Scotland, and provided 3ome insight into the stereotypes that
members of each orchestral section (i.e. brass, strings, woodwinds, and percussion) have of
each other. For example, the strings perceived the brass, as "heavy boozers" and "slightly
oafish and uncouth", and the bras3 characterised the strings as "oversensitive and touchy **,
"weaklings'", "like a flock of bloody sheep", noting that they think they are "God's gift to
music" (Davies, 1978). A virtual replication of Davies' study, by Builione and Lipton
( 1 9 8 3 ) found responses to open-ended questions yielded strong stereotypes of the strings and
woodwinds as being "intelligent," "feminine" and "introverted* and the brass players and
percussionists' being "extroverted", "masculine" and "3exual".

ballets and solo performers on stage, or background music at dinners and receptions. In
opera3, ballets and musical shows, one group is placed on stage claiming the audience's
undivided attention while the orchestra is placed in the pit, shielded from the audience - and
normally required to wear black-, to ensure that the primary focus is upon the stage. As a
result of this working concensus, the musicians' art i3 subordinated to stage needs, and
musicians thus forego most claims to recognition. Indeed (as compared with a symphony
musician), pit musicians are rarely listed in the programs and not usually reviewed by
critics. In fact, they need not even be in the actual performance hall. For example, the pit
musicians for the Sydney production of "Cats' (1985-86), were relegated to a small room
off-stage and, as a consequence, many patrons could not be blamed for assuming that the music
was pre-recorded.2
The basic spatial organisation within a theatre can be seen as establishing a certain order of
dominance which, coupled with the lack of prestige and direct attention received from
(Goffman, 1959) within the stage-audience interaction. The concept of 'personhood*, referred
to by Frederickson & Rooney (1988) in their study, might roughly be equated with the

however, this source of esteem is threatened by the stereotypes free-lancers often hold of
themselves and their work. The lack of acknowledgement assigned freelance musicians by
society is thus redirected inwardly in the disrespect and contempt of their fellow players,
irrespective of their technical skill and expertise, as i3 reflected by the following excerpt.

The results establish clearly that the "theatricals" score high on the pathological
suppression. Probably related to that ire their comparatively poor results on the
i mpulse3 and conflicti ng aspects of the psyche , with one another, and with the demands of the
environment. The resulting adequacy of personal functioning is the task of the ego, and the
Taft's (1961) study showed that actors who scored low on the ego strength scale were aware
of their weaknesses and sensitive to social criticism, a pattern somewhat commensurate with
behavioural plasticity theory, that low self-esteem subjects are more sensitive to external
cues.
in his study of student and professional American actors, Henry ( 1 9 6 5 ) suggested that
the actor in the process of acting and playing roles is actually searching for an identity.
Utilising a concept derived from one of Erikson*s( 1963) stages of psycho-social development
which hold3 that 'the central task of adolescence is to crystallise a stable, and ideall y, positive
self-concept" (Eskilson & Wiley, 1987), Henry ( 1 9 6 5 ) noted that professional actors
showed a high level of, what was termed, "identity diffusion". "Diffusion* of identity is defined
Henry found that when the actors were ranked in terms of relative reknown and success (as
defined by regular employment), the successful (renowned)group evidenced more identity
diffusion. "Identity diffusion, if you will, predicts success ..." (Henry ,1965 p21).
Thus, it could be suggested that an actor is more likely to achieve 'success' through the lack of
structural component ( Campbell, 1990), from which could logically follow the notion that
low self-esteem, in this instance, may lead to greater 'success' (Henry, 1965).
This appears contrary to findings by classical (Adler, 1959; Allport, 1961) and
identity , as measured by achievement, 3tatu3 and integration, are associated with higher (not
ostensi bl y requi red for a fi r m identity, namel y, trust, autonomy, i ntegrity and i nti macy. 1 n
this regard, Henry (1965, pi 3) observed that the lives of actors appear to have been marked
family members and to distinctions between inner feelings and overt behaviour in such
figures.
21
Without appropriate role models, the basic trust and confidence needed to develop a strong
sense of self or identity is lacking. The actor, according to Henry, tries to develop an identity
by repeatedly portraying the lives of others . Henry( 1965) cites a reported excerpt of an
interview with actress Ingrid Bergman, reflecting this possibility.
It is only when I am acting a role (of another) that I feel I am really ME.
Ane&totet Sources
A very informative anecdotal source of criterion validity for some of these findings was found
follows: I think it (acting) attracts people who have a poor image of themselves, and acting,
they believe, boosts that image. That's why it's full of a lot of troubled people.
Several common themes seem to recur throughout the book, notably, lack of identity, self-
denigration, low self-esteem, a lack of confidence, a need for approval, and a fear of failure.
Henry's( 1965) premise of more identity diffusion as characteristic of the more successful
actors could be given some credence with the following excerpts if lack of confidence and low

A strong impression given by these interviews is that certain situations or events in early life
experience (similar to Henry's (1965) study) have necessitated an escape from reality, an
alternative means of expression for feelings that were somehow parentally unacceptable or
unheard by significant others. Both Peter Carroll and Angela Punch McGregor recall the rigid

Further anecdotal evidence (Lidde11,1991) describes the rather 'bumpy* road to success
experienced by 3ome notable American actors and indicates the resourcefulness and facility
with which they adapted to adverse conditions, along with the apparent willingness to

(1987)in individuals with low self-esteem (Korman 1968). This type of resourcefulness
was also observed in a study (Weiss & Knight, 1980) in which subjects with low self-esteem
task, in which searching for relevant information, prior to its undertaking was functional for
successful task performance. Perhaps, high 3elf-esteem subjects do not doubt their ability to
solve the task with the least possible application, thus neglecting to cover all contingencies.
Rsiiomte
and performance anxiety. Studies (Shrauger, 1972; Carver & Scheier, 1978) have found that,
to the extent that an individual focuses on him/herself rather than on the task at hand,
subjects with low self-esteem perform less well than those with high self-esteem.
Those with low self-esteem have also been found to respond more favourably to manipulations
designed to facilitate, rather than interfere , with performance (Brockner, 19?9a;
Brockner & Hulton, 1978). Task-focu3 inductions, for example, have found to have a more
facilitative effect on the task performances of individuals with negative, rather than positive,
evaluations (Strack, Blaney, Ganellen & Coyne, 1985), lending further support to the
behavioural plasticity theory of low self-esteem subjects being more responsive to external
cues . Thus, performers with low self-e3teem may be more likely to respond to intervention
strategies designed to assist in the reduction of performance anxiety and stage-fright than
those with high self-esteem. Further research could perhaps shed light on whether
performers with low self-esteem are perhaps more likely than their high self-e3teem
The lack of Australian psychological research in these areas constituted further justification
Methodological Issues
The field of personality psychology has long been 'plagued' by respondents' unwillingness or
Baumei3ter, Tice & Hutton ( 1 9 8 9 ) contend that, 3elf-esteem scales, rather than measuring
intrapsychic cognitions, are really assessing the willingness to endorse favourable statements
about the self. In their review of self-esteem literature1, Baumeister et al.( 1989)
skewed, with scores typically located in the upper range of the distribution of possible scores
and the sample midpoint being higher than the conceptual midpoint. In view of this trend,
which was found to be similar in several studies, using different self-esteem scales (ie. T5BI,
Janis-Field, Rosenberg) Baumeister et al. further assert that the choice of intermediate
answers might indicate several possibilities. Intermediate answers might signify a neutral,
true feelings of low self-esteem. A person who wanted to reveal as little as possible about him
or herself while filling out a self-esteem scale would most likely proceed by selecting the
middle option on every item. Self-presentation theorists ( Wolfe, Lennox & Cutler, 1986;
Cialdini, Levy, Herman, and Evenbeck( 1973) found that peoples* attitude statements would
shift toward the middle of the scale when they expected to have to defend their attitudes.
Cialdini et al. reasoned that several advantages are enjoyed by such intermediate responses,
including being less vulnerable to attack and di3confirmation than extreme positions.
Other reasons for intermediate responses might be those with high self-esteem not wishing to
go against the cultural norms that discourage 'show-off3* or braggarts (Powers & Zurkoff,
1988). Similarly, choosing to rate self-esteem more conservatively on a scale, may prevent
the risk of future events disproving exaggerated claims about the self (Schlenker, 1975;
Bradley, 1978; Weary & Arkin( 1 9 8 1 ) , in Baumei3ter et al. 1989). Another interesting
possibility is that a pattern of moderate self-criticism may elicit favourable reactions from
others, such as initial liking without engendering burdensome expectations for competent
performance (Powers & Zurkoff, 1988). The tendency to express conservative, socially
acceptable responses, which may not be one's true attitude, is termed 'social desirability
response set" (Crowne & Marlowe, 1964).
in order to detect this response set, the present study included the Crowne-Marlowe (1960)
Social Desirability scale . Those scoring high on social desirability and high on self-esteem,
may in the 'truer' sense, be persons of low self-esteem 'saving face", as per Hewitt &
Goldman*s study ( 1 9 7 4 ) . Those scoring high on social desirability and intermediate or low on
the measure may be more difficult to interpret in view of the above findings. Those with low
social desirability with high or low self-esteem scores are theoretically presumed to be
Another less-notated confound (Brockner ,1988) is that individuals may be unable to report
their true self-esteem, for a variety of reasons, including a lack of intelligence or
introspection. Much social psychological research has focussed on self-awareness as a
"situational" variable that can be manipulated -- ie. attention can be directed either inward
toward the self or outward toward the environment. Indeed, induced 3elf-awareness ( as
measured by exposure to a mirror or not) was found to magnify the correlation between
self-report and actual behaviour (Wicklund, 1975). It was postulated , however (Fenigstein,
Sheier & Buss , 1975) that there might also be a personality disposition to focus inward, a
'consistent' state' of self-awareness, termed the 'trait' of self-consciousness.
along a continuum of self-focussed attention, ranging from those persons who constantly
scrutinse their behaviour to the other extreme of persons, who appear to have no
understanding of either, their own motives, or, of how they appear to others.
The self-consciousness scale designed to measure this trait consists of 2 major components -
Private Self-Consciousness - the extent to which a person habitually reflects upon personal
thoughts, feelings and motives; and Public Self-Consciousness - habitual concern about
oneself as a social object, including social appearance and the impression one makes upon
others. Studies by Turner (1978)and Scheier, Buss & Buss (1978) examined the
hypothesis, that those highly 'aware' or high in Private Self-Consciousness would show
greater accuracy in their 3elf-reports, and therefore a higher predictive validity between
behaviour and self-reports. In Turner's study, the correlations between actual behaviour and
reported behaviour for subjects low in Private Se1f-Con3ciousness was r= 0.33 and for High
Self Conciousness subjects, r= 0.66. There was virtually no correlation between 3elf-report
replication study by Turner & Peterson (1977). In Scheier et al's ( 1 9 7 8 ) study , the
difference in correlations between self-report and behaviour were even more marked, with
r = 0.69 (High) Private and r= 0.09 (Low) private self-consciousness respondents.
In the latter sample, it was noted that, should the private self-con3ciousriess factor be ignored
in data analysis, the self-report / behaviour correlation would be reduced to only 0.34.
These results suggest the futility of trying to predict from a self-report measure
the behaviour of a person who rarely reflects on his behaviour, or is very concerned
Thus, it appears that self-reported trait measures may have criterion predictive validity for
only a subset of individuals (Alker, 1972; Bern & Allen, 1 9 7 4 ; Fenigstein, Scheier & Buss
1975), only those individuals who are found to be high in Private self-consciousness, or low
styles, for example, social desirability (Edwards ,195?)and yea-3aying (Goldsmith, 1987)
have been extensively investigated (Cronbach, 1970; Edwards ,1970), the effect of varying
levels of habitual self-reflection on the predictive validity of self-reports has not received
nearly as much attention (Turner, 1978). Greenwald, Belleza & Banaji( 1987, in Brockner,
1988) commented that 'researchers in self-esteem may well benefit by including measures
of self-knowledge', with the hypothesis that individuals will be better able to report their
level of self-esteem to the extent that they are dispositional^ self- knowledgeable.
In the present study, subjects primarily scoring low on social desirability, high on private
3elf-consciousnes3 and low on public self-consciousness will ideally be describing their level
self-esteem (or any other 'sensitive' personality variable) more accurately and more
This is a rationale for including the Private & Public Self-Consciousness index in the present
study.

Research Design
The present study in collecting data via a 3elf-report questionnaire utilises aspects of several
research methods: causal-comparative or 'ex-post facto' method, in the investigation of
possible cause and effect by observing existing consequences and probing back for
causes(between subjects design), the correlational method in examining the relationships
between two or more factors(within-subjects) design and the descriptive method in the use of
questionnai res to descri be an area of i nterest i n a systematic manner(Gotts, 1990). The
convenience sampling of "pre-assembled groups that are similar and selected as available' is
Hypotheses
satisfaction. These patterns seem to be encompassed by the 'plasticity' theory of low self-
esteem. Singers have been described 83 extravert, emotional and difficult, showing a need for
attention that may indicate low self-esteem and a high need for approval. The available
anecdotal evidence concerning actors paints a profile of a lonely, needy individual, lacking in
self-confidence and self-worth , but craving attention and perhaps validation, from an
anonymous source.

METHOD
Subjects
Subjects were chosen from several non-random 'convenience samples' made available to the
author by virtue of her own employment situation1 and general professional network.
The participant sample (N = 126) consisting of 6 8 males and 5 8 females, comprised four
main groups: Group (1) professional pit musicians (n = 33) employed in the Australian
production of the Phantom of the Opera, currently playing in Melbourne , Group (2) employed
stage performers (n = 36)(including actors, singers and dancers) drawn primarily from the
Phantom of the Opera production, but also inclusive of members of the Australian College of
Entertainers, and several actor colleagues, Group (3) a mixed group of bankers, accountants,
and related financial occupations 2, (n = 3 2 ) (including tax analysts, financial auditors,
C-1) in order to participate in the study, to preclude the possible confound of low self-esteem

( 1) Self-Esteem Measure
The 8-item index used in the present study is a modified version of Rosenberg's (1965)
original 10-item Guttman scale, which aims to assess 'global self-esteem', an overall
judgement of personal worth (Rosenberg, 1965).
Reliability
The original Rosenberg measure has been shown to demonstrate high levels of reliability
(Rosenberg, 1965; Silber & Tippet, 1965), specifically, the test-re-test reliability in
Rosenberg's study, normed on randomly-selected New York high school students [N=5,024)
was .93. O'Malley & Bachman( 1979) employed the modified Rosenberg Self- Esteem
measure, which is U3ed in the present study, in their examination of the relationship between
years of education and self-esteem levels in high school students. Their sample consisted of a
nationwide selection of 3,383 male and female high school students who were compared
with 1,175 males from a previous study (Bachman & O'Malley, 1977).
Coefficient, alphas for the 1979 study, calculated separately for males and females, were .79
and .83 respectively. Coefficient alpha for the males in thel 9 7 7 study, was .79, the same as
for the males in the 1979 study. This modified self-esteem measure has been similarly
utilised in a number of other applied studies (Weiss & Knight, 1980; Arnold, 1988).
Present Study
In the present study, respondents were asked to indicate, on a 5-point Likert scale, the extent
The response categories - Strongly agree, Disagree, Neither agree or disagree, Agree,
Strongly Agree - were coded from 1 to 5, with higher values assigned to responses indicating
higher self-esteem (This is opposite to Rosenberg's original coding system). Four items
(1,3,5,7) were positively worded, and four items (2,4,6,8) negatively worded, and later
The IBT is one of the earliest and most frequently used cognitive assessment measures.
Developed by Jones( 1 9 6 8 ) , the IBT derives its theoretical framework from the work of
Albert Ellis, the founder of rational-emotive therapy, who delineated a theory of irrational
beliefs as the underlying cause of emotional disturbance( Ellis, 1969). The instrument
consists of 100 items measuring ten irrational beliefs (or attitudes) in separate scales, each
In Jones's( 1 9 6 8 ) study, cros3 validation of construct was made with a heterogeneous sample
of 4 2 7 subjects. The factor structure upon which the test was based was replicated
satisfactorily and construct validities in the construct validation sample ranged from .66 to
.80 with a mean of .74, based on intercorrelations of item scores and scale scores. Temporal
stability based on 2 4 hour teat- re-test correlations of scores was .92 for full scale, and
ranged from .67 to .87 for individual scales. More recently, Lohr & Bonge ( 1 9 8 2 )
essentially replicated the factorial structure of the IBT in the original test construction and
Age was not found to be significantly related to factors of the IBT, although significant
relationships were obtained on the 16PF measure between specific IBT scales and the
variables of sex and education level (Jones, 1968). The latter findings were replicated by
Richie( 1 9 7 5 ) who, in assessing concurrent validity of the IBT with the California
adjustment.
(2) Irrational Beliefs Test - ( ctd. )
The present study employs the Demand for Approval factor, which along with another of the
original IBT factors , the High Self-Expectation factor, are claimed to be predictors of low
self-esteem (Daly & Burton,1983). In their study of 251 university students, Daly and
Burton( 1983) noted a significant negative correlation, ( r = -.51, p_<.0001) between the
Jani3-Field measure of self-esteem and the IBT. Four factors, representing four discrete
beliefs, or attitudes, were found to be predictive of low self esteem, one of the highest
correlations being for the Demand for Approval factor (r=.44 Total sample; x = - 4 0 Males;
r=.46 Females).
In previous studies, items are phrased in general belief statements, with respondents
indicating their degree of concensus with each item on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores
In the present study, it was decided to U3e an endorsement method (Alden & Safran, 1978),
dichotomous scores of Agree/Disagree . This method was chosen mainly as a control for the
divergent validity of the 'demand for approval' factor (ie. measuring the same construct with
the same method; Campbell & Fiske ,1959) in comparison with the similarly-scored
Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability scale , deemed to be measuring the 'need for approval"
(Hewitt*. Goldman, 1974).
Reverse-scoring for 5 negatively-worded items in the Demand for Approval factor was
carried out prior to analysis.
This index , in its original form, consisted of 3 items, one of which was double-barrelled.
In the present study, to avoid ambiguity,the item was changed into two separate items. Scoring
was 1 to 5 on a Likert scale, with Items 2 & 3 negatively worded and later reverse-scored
prior to analysis.

Reliability
The instrument was normed on a sample of 5,024 high school students, from 10 randomly
selected public schools. The psychometric properties of the original instrument were stated
As an alternative model to the Edwards Social Desirability scale (Edwards, 1957) the MCSDS
was developed by Crowne & Marlowe (1960) as a measure of the social desirability response
set, a 'non-test relevant determinant' long viewed as a characteristic confound of personality
test scores (Wiggins & Rumril, 1959). In its construction, the MCSDS borrowed several
item3 from the M M P ! and contains one exact and four approximate replications of L(Lie
Scale) items, and one repetition of a K(Correction score) item, as well as selected items from
other personality inventories. The population from which MCSDS items were drawn was
Desirability Scale are purported to represent ' a high need for the approval of others* and
high 'defensiveness', in view of the positive correlations found for the MCSDS with M M P I "K"
scale [r=.65;p<.Oil.
The MCSDS has had considerable use since its publication in 1960 and several studies have
been specifically geared to testing reliability and validity and to developing shorter versions
of the scales for ease of U3e (Strahan & Gerbasi,1972; Crino, Svoboda & Rubenfeld ,1983;
Ray, 1984; Tanaka-Matsumi & Kameoka, 1986; Fraboni & Cooper, 1989; Ballard, Crino &
Rubenfeld, 1 9 8 8 ) .
39
Australian studies
Considerable validity generalisation was evidenced in a series of Australian studies carried out
by the University of New South Wales (Ray, 1984) in which a shortened version of the MCSDS
was administered to various randomly selected heterogeneous groups as follows: 9 5 S3 living
in the Sydney Metropolitan area, two random mail-out surveys in New South Wales [N=122;
N= 213, respectively], a random doorstep sample of 2 0 0 Sydney Ss, a Sydney community
sample of 8 7 Ss, and, lastly, after translation into German, random doorstep sample of 136 Ss
in Munich, West Germany. All alpha reliabilities fell between .65 and .77, quite adequate for
a short scale (McLennan ,1990).
Very different reliabilites were found , however, ina sample of Australian army conscripts,
with reliabilities falling between .16 and .36 for the three shortened versions and .46 for the
full 33-item version. It is suggested (Ray, 1984) that these findings may be due to the
"peculiar institutional position of the subjects" and the effect of coercion on social desirability
responding. This type of outcome may well be a feature of specialised groups , the present
study possi bl y i ncl uded.
The original 33-item scale is utilised in the present study. Of the 33 items, 18 are keyed
True and 15, Fatee, to control for acquiescence or 'yeasaying' (Goldsmith,! 9 8 7 ) . Scores in
the original study closely approximated a normal distribution. Normed on 3 9 university
students, the internal consistency coefficient ( K R 2 0 ) for the scale was .88, with test-re-test
reliability correlation , over a month period , K D 2 0 = .89. The original dichotomous scoring
procedure is used . 18 scores coded True, given a score of 1; 15 coded False, given a score of 1.
Questionnaires were marked prior to analysis, scoring 1 on socially desirable item3 (as
above), and the total SD score to be computed as a composite score out of 33, given that the
alpha appears reliable on the sample.
(5) Private and Public Self Consciousness Measure
The 23-item version of the Self-consciousness scale (Fenigstein, Scheier & Buss, 1975) was
undergraduate women and 8 2 undergraduate men (Nie, Bent & Hull, 1970). The following
classification was constructed: (a) a preoccupation with past, present and future behaviour;
(d) introspective behaviour (e) a tendency to picture or imagine oneself (f) awareness of
one's physical appearance and presentation; and (g) concern over the appraisal of others.
A large proportion of the variance ( 4 3 % ) was accounted for by the first three factors that
social anxiety.
Discriminant validity of the the three scales was indicated by the low intercorrelations
between the three factors(Campbell 1960; Campbell & Fiske, 1959).Various revisions of the
scale were given to nine different samples during a series pilot studie3, with a total N of
1,821; the same three factors emerged. The final 23-item version was rated on a scale of 0
Temporal consistency was tested U3ing a sample of 84subjects, with a 2-week interval
between admi ni3trations. Test- re-test correlations for the subscales were as follows:
Present Study
Only the first two sub3cales, Private and Public self-consciousnes3 are used in the present
data analysis . Items are scored from 1 to 5, rather than 0 to 4 as per the original scoring
system.
41
RESULTS
RELIABILITY ESTIMATES FOR MEASURES USED
Before proceeding with data analysis, reliability coefficients (Cronbach's alpha) were
calculated for the measures used . Although previous studies using these instruments had
satisfactory reliability coefficients, the non- random selection of specialised groups i n the
present study may have rendered these measures less reliable for this sample. Selected items
had to be therefore eliminated to increase reliability for data analysis in the present study.
Reliability coefficients, before and after adjustment, plus alpha coefficients from previous
studies and the specific coded item removed from each 3cale, are presented in Table 1.
In those cases where 'None' appears , alpha would not have increased significantly if items
were removed. The final number of items used in data analysis for each scale is stated in
brackets.
The reliabilities for the measures of self-esteem and demand for approval on this sample are
comparable with previous reliabilities, however, the social desirability and private and
public self-consciousness scales show slightly lower reliability coefficients than previous
studies. The Sensitivity to Criticism scale has no comparative reliabilities but 3hows an
acceptable reliability coefficient (0.65) for this number of items. Minimum recommended
reliabilities (McLennan, 1990) for scales are approximately: 0.6 for 4-7 items, 0.7 for
8-10 items and 0.8 for 11 - 2 0 + items. Most of the above reliabilities appear acceptable in
this regard, although the social desirability measure falls slightly short of recommended
coefficent leveb.

(Norusis ,1988 p .195). However, the kurtosis value is +1.08, indicating slightly heavier
tails than those of a normal distribution. This is perhaps due to the disparity between the
conceptual median (21) of the 3e1f-esteem variable distribution and the sample median(28).

Collectively, performers show virtually equal percentages of high and low social desirability,

symphony performers showing the highest percentage of respondents in the high social
desirability category.

!n the present study, comparisons were made by separating groups into greater than and less than
the sample median, leaving out those equal to the sample median in order to lessen the effect of
central tendency.

The conceptual median (16.5) for the social desirability variable is close to the sample median (16);
the latter was used to separate the two halves of the distribution.

Several reasons w h y the self-esteem variable has a negatively-skewed distribution with the
sample mean (27.47)and median (28) having a much higher value than the conceptual
median(21) are examined further in the discussion section. One possible cause, often viewed
as a common confound i n self- rated personality i nventories, could be the tendency for
subject.3 to respond in a manner that is deemed socially appropriate.
Tables 11,12 and 13 depict group frequencies1 of the self-esteem variable, both greater than
and less than the conceptual median (21), and with and without social desirability scores
on 'socially sensitive' variables, than those with high social desirability scores.

Small cell frequencies, remaining after the response set confound w a s accounted for, limited
further use of parametric statistics (ie. n < 25). Instead, trends were examined using frequencies

Analysis
Before social desirability is considered, all groups appear to have very high percentages of
high self-esteem scores, the largest relative percentage being observed in accountants, when
using the conceptual median to partition-off high and low self-esteem categories.
After the social desirability condition is applied, however, onstage performers (47%)appear
to have the largest relative percentage of high self-esteem responses, at least 1 9 % higher
than the other 3 groups. Large drops are evident when comparing percentages in column (1)
with column (2), for example, both pit musicians and accountants have discrepancies of
around 6 0 % .
(H) Low S*lf-Esfom— Using Conceptual Median ie. Scores < 21
A positive correlation of _r = 0.25, p < .01 is observed between 3elf-esteem and social
desirability scores across the total sample, suggesting that high self-esteem scores are
desirability and self-esteem measures behave in a similar manner to subjects attributed with
low self-e3teem. It could be hypothesised therefore that those in the present study with this
particular combination of scores may be erroneously reporting their self-esteem scores ina
more positive direction than is actually the case. Table 12 shows percentages of respondents in
each group with high social desirability and high 3elf-esteem scores.
Frequency % Sample Gp
Performers 39 39/94=41%
Non-Performers 15 15/32=47%
Analysis
At least 41 % of performers and 47% of non-performers may have lower self-esteem than
they have stated. All of the individual groups, except on-stage performers have around 45%
of their respondents" scores falling in the high social desirability and high self-esteem
combined category. Onstage performers show the lowest relative percentage(33%), 12% less
Percentages of inferred low self-esteem added to those who actually scored themselves in the
low category for self-esteem scores are presented in Table 13.

(2) Group Response Frequencies Less than Self-Esteem Conceptual Median (21) ADDED TO

Analysis
Percentages are all quite small (6%-12%) for those who have scored less than 21,
acknowledging low self-esteem. Performers show a very small margin percentage over non-
esteem) , the outcome suggests percentages of low self-esteem may be much larger than i3
first apparent. Virtually, half of all performers, collectively, and non-performers could
thU3 be classified as having low self-esteem. Similarly, all individual groups fall within a
low self-esteem.
If Column (2) of Table 11 is compared with Column (2) of Table 13, group percentages of
low self-esteem generally appear to be somewhat larger than percentages for high self-
esteem; completely the reverse scenario is evident when social desirability is not accounted
for (ie. comparing Column (1) of both Table 11 and Table 13).
Ratios of high/low esteem percentages, accounting for social desirability are as follows:
Onstage performers appear to have a larger percentage of high self-esteem scores and a
smaller percentage of low self-esteem scores when compared with the other groups.
Symphony musicians show the largest relative percentage of low self-esteem 3core3, both
before and after the condition of social desirability. Onstage performers show a much smaller

comparing relative frequencies may yield similar results. Table 14 presents self-esteem

SOCIAL FACTORS
Social factors included in the questionnaire were analysed in terms of percentages, due to
small cell frequencies. Several of these variables, namely, loneliness, perceived emotional
closeness to father and mother, and the importance of parental career approval, that were
rated 1 to 5 on a Likert 3cale in the questionnaire, were collapsed into 3 ordinal categories for
analysis.
Of those who felt lonely, 36.7% were onstage performers, the highest percentage compared
with the 3 other groups. Of those who were performers, 30.6% 3aid they felt lonely, as
Of those who spent their time alone as a child, 43.5% were onstage performers, the highest
percentage compared with the 3 other groups. Of onstage performers, 27.8% spent their
time alone, compared with 38.9% spending time with family and 2 5 % with friends.
41 % of finance subjects were not emotionally close to their fathers. All other groups showed
percentages greater than 3 6 % , i n terms of emotional closeness to thei r fathers.
Of those not emotionally close to their mothers, 38.9% were onstage performers.
Of the small number (ie.8 subjects -6.5% of total sample) whose mother does not approve of
their career choice, 5 0 % (4subjects) were pit musicians. Similarly, only 7 subject3"(5.7%
of total sample) lacked perceived paternal approval. 13.9% of the sample did not know
whether or not they had paternal approval. None of the finance subjects stated that their
3 2 . 4 % of those who felt paternal approval of their career to be i rnportant, were onstage
performers, the highest percentage out of the other groups. 3 6 . 4 % of symphony musicians
felt it important to have paternal approval for their career, 5 0 % did not think it important.
Of those who felt it important to have maternal approval for their career, 3 5 % were onstage
performers and 3 2 . 5 % were pit musicians. Of the total sample of fi nance subjects, 6 1 . 3 %
thought it unimportant to have maternal approval for their career choice.
All social factors were found to be statistically independent of individual sample group

approval from otters (Eskilson & Wiley, 1987; Hoffman, 1972). Females were also found to

gender differences observed in a study by Fenigstein et al., 1975). The self-esteem variable
appeared to reflect a lower mean level for females, again commensurate with community
concensus (Eskilson & Wiley, 1 9 8 7 ) , but did not reach statistical significance. Similarly, the
female mean for sensitivity to criticism was higher than the male mean, but fell outside
omitting accountants from the calculation. Pit musicians appeared to be somewhat younger
than symphony musicians. However, on closer inspection, this may have been due to outliers,
ie. several older subjects, as the sample group age distributions were otherwise quite
comparable.

Discussion ctd.
No significant interaction effects between sample groups v/ere found for demographic factors
with the primary variables of interest. Several significant factor i ntercor relations were
found, however, for the primary variables across the total sample. A significant negative
correlation was found between self-esteem and demand for approval, confirming the previous
findings of Daly & Burton ( 1 9 8 3 ) , although the absolute magnitude of their correlation
(r_ = - .44, p_ < .001) was somewhat higher than i n the present study .
Significant positive correlations were also found between self-e3teem and social desirability ,
which, according to McCrae & Costa ( 1 9 8 3 ) , could be interpreted in two ways, namely that
the trait measure may be subject to the operation of the response bias measured by the social
desirability scale, or that the social desirability 3cale may include content related to the trait.
The correlation val ue at r_=.25 is not i ndicative of a large 'substance overlap', suggesti ng
rather that the response bias is operative. Substance overlap may, however, be a factor in the
large significant positive correlation (.41) found between demand for approval and public
between the two measures, it might further be expected that the demand for approval measure
would correlate with the social desirability measure, given that the social desirability
measure has also been viewed by some as a 'need for approval* (Hewitt & Goldman, 1 9 7 4 ) , a
construct in its own right(McCrae & Costa, 1 9 8 3 ) , rather than just a response style
(Rock, 1981). Nevertheless, there is no correlation between these two factors in the present
study, implying that, in this instance, the two measures are not sampling the same construct.
In a similar vein, it might be assumed that scale scores of those who are particularly aware of
their social 3elf-aspects and sensitive to the impressions that they create on others(public
self-consciousne3s) would be correlated with scores of those who have the tendency to present

Due to the 'socially sensitive' nature of the main variables under investigation, analysis

Discussion ctd.
The negatively-skewed distribution of the self-esteem with the sample mean (27.47)and
median (28) having a much higher value than the conceptual median (21) is considered an
integral part of these non-significant results, and could be interpreted in several ways.
Firstly, all respondents may in actuality have very high self-esteem, in which case, one could
say there is no statistical evidence to suggest differences between sample groups on the
variable of self-e3teem . On the other hand, respondents may not admit to having low
3elf-esteem , possibly because they do not know what they feel, that is, they are not
'self - conscious (Scheier et al. 1978). Or, perhaps, they are just unwilling to acknowledge
low self-esteem (Baumeister et al. 1 9 8 9 ) , or, they may even rather say what is deemed
socially appropriate. The latter option, the social desirability response style has, hitherto,
been viewed as one of the most common confounds (Costa & McCrae, 1983) i n self- rated
personality inventories. All primary variables in the present study were therefore
considered to be "vulnerable* to this response set and, despite initial non-significant results,

low 3elf-esteem. However, the onstage sample group was comprised of other types of

Hypothesis 3, that pit musicians will show a lower level of self-esteem than symphony

concurrence with Frederickson & Rooney's ( 1 9 8 8 ) contention , that pit players perceive
That pit musicians and onstage performers will show a higher demand for approval than

the proportions of scores in the high demand for approval category , but cell frequencies are
too small to draw firm conclusions. W h e n inferred high demand for approval scores are added
(ie. high social desirability plus low demand for approval scores) to high demand for approval
scores then all groups show a high percentage of scores (> 5 0 % ) for this variable, including

Hypothesis 6, that performers as a group will 3how a greater sensitivity to criticism than

Hypothesis 7, that pit musicians and onstage performers will show a greater sensitivity to

performing groups.

As for the social desirability variable, per se, no significant differences were found between
group means on this variable. However, symphony musicians have the largest relative
percentage of high social desirability scores which echoes the sentiments of the "fear of social
disapproval", characteristic of musicians noted by Lehrer (1981 )in his study of music
students. In contrast, onstage performers appear to have the largest percentage of low social
desirability scores are more likely to describe themselves as they truly perceive themselves,
on "socially sensitive* variables, than those with high social desirability score3, theoretically,
lendi ng greater accuracy to thei r self- report i nventories. Although the i mpact of the social
desirability factor on results generally appears considerable, particularly on self-esteem
percentages after the social desirability condition is applied, there i3 still some difference of
opinion as to whether controlling for this measure is at all useful. McCrae & Co3ta ( 1 9 8 3 )
contend that, for most traits, "correcting" for social desirability reduces, rather than
1983) advise that if the scores of all individuals are uniformly inflated or decreased by
social desirability, it will make no difference in interpreting scores, 3ince rank order and
position in a distribution are unaffected, which , for the present study, was examined by
comparing the effect of the social desirability response on the self-esteem variable, using
both the conceptual and sample medians as cut-off points, respectively. Gordon & Gross
(1978) further assert that it is only when social desirability affects individual scores
differentially, that it becomes a source of distortion, which was found to be the case for the
present study. Indeed, using the sample median as the cut-off point (without social
desirability) did not create the same relative positions for self-esteem levels, which are
apparent using the conceptual median coupled with the social desirability variable. For
example, using the sample median, symphony musicians have the greatest percentage of low
self-e3teem scores, whereas the conceptual median-3plit has pit musicians with the largest
percentage of low self-e3teem score3 and symphony musicians with the smallest percentage.
So where possible, external objective criteria should be used if there is reason to question the
knowledge that may also give rise to spurious results. This self-consciousness variable was
similarly considered to be 'vulnerable* to social desirable response set due to the current
new-age' climate , which is increasingly reflected i n the glut of self-awareness books and
between both pit musicians and onstage performers, and accountants, the highest mean score
being observed in onstage performers. Onstage performers abo show a considerably larger
proportion of high private self-consciousness scores than other sample groups, after social
desirability is considered. These findings regarding 'inner awareness" appear to support Taffs
(1961) observation that actor3 3coring low on the M M P i ego-strength 3cale, were
nevertheless still 'aware of their weaknesses'. The lowest relative proportion of high private
3elf-consciousne3s scores is found in accountants, with or without the social desirability set.
Although not statistically significant, performers, collectively, show a higher mean on the
public self-consciousness variable. For individual groups, the highest mean score was for
3elf-consciousnes3, then high public self-consciousne3s for onstage performers lend3 support
to Kemp's (1981c) observation that singers are generally more extraverted than musicians.
As with the private self-consciousness variable, the biggest proportion of high public self-
consciousness scores is seen in onstage performers. Symphony performers show the smallest
relative percentage of high public 3elf-consciou3nes3 scores and the largest relative
percentage of low public self-conseiou3ness scores, whether the social desirability factor is
considered or not. These low levels of public self-consciousness could be a reflection of the
tendency toward introversion, a trait stable over time, found characteristic of musicians by
Kemp (1981a).
Discussion ctd.
It has been noted (Turner, 1 9 7 8 ) that those with high private self-con3ciousness or low
response set by those who could consider it appropriate to 'confess* great self-understanding
in this new age' even if it is not the truth. Public 3elf-consciousness also may be confounded
by those who do not wish to admit to being concerned with the impression they make on others.
Onstage performers were found to have high levels of private self-consciousness, and
theoreticall y attri bute greater predictive validity of behaviour (Turner, 1 9 7 8 ) to the self-
reports from these sample groups. However, high public self-consciousness proportions are
also quite large for onstage performers, which would suggest that for the present study, more
accurate responses can not be seen as function of a particular sample group . Instead, using
and low social desirability, from whichever sample group , would increase the chances of
children, parental closeness, parental career approval and its importance, career satisfaction
and work environment were also examined for trends using percentages.
The highest percentage of those who felt lone! y as children and of those who spent thei r ti me
alone as a child, compared with the 3 other groups, were onstage performers. These findings
lend 3orne support to Hypothesis 9, that a greater percentage of on-stage performers will
acknowlege childhood loneliness and/or aloneness than other performers and non-performers.
85
Discussion ctd.
Hypothesis 10, that on-stage performers will show a greater percentage of low parental
emotional closeness than other performers and non-performers was partly substantiated by
the finding that, of those not emotionally close to their mothers, the largest relative
percentage were onstage performers . In terms of those not emotionally close to their fathers,
performers , as postulated by Hypothesis 11. Those whose mother doe3 not approve of
3ubject3* career choice numbered 8, 4 of which were pit musicians, a finding not supportive
of Hypothesis 11, that onstage performers will show a lower percentage of parental career
approval. Cell frequencies are nevertheless too small to draw any firm conclusions.
The highest relative percentage of those who felt parental approval of their career to be
Hypothesis 13, that pit players will 3how a greater career dissatisfaction was not supported.
Rather, accountants proved to be the most dissatisfied with their careers. However, pit
players do express a high percentage of a preferred work environment other than the pit,
(Hypothesis 1 4 )and a higher percentage of pit players expres3 the preference to work
on-3tage, than the percentage of symphony performers wishing to work off-3tage, effectively
supporting Hypothesis 15. Not one symphony player expressed a preference for a work
Most of the above findings reiterate the profile described earlier, derived from Trengove*s
(1991)recentl y- published interviews with Australian actors. Actors, i ncl uded i n the
onstage group, appear to share experiences of feeling lonely and spending time alone as
children, feeling emotionally-distant from a parent, and wanting parental validation for their
career choice, a3 a result of being blocked, restricted or thwarted in some way in early life.

Several significant supplementary findings drawn from the sample as a whole, were
associated with feeli ngs of loneli ness and aloneness i n childhood, the greatest i ncidenee of
significantly higher mean level of private self-consciousness than other subjects. Those who
spent ti m e alone, rather than with family or friends, had significant! y lower levels of self-
esteem and social desirability and significantly higher mean levels of sensitivity to criticism
Significantly higher mean levels for both the demand for approval factor and the sensitivity to
criticism variable are found in those who rate their mother's approval for their career as
important, again the greatest percentage of which, are onstage performers. Perhaps it is
parental approval, rather than societal approval, that is being measured (or sampled) by the
demand for approval construct, which may explain the lack of a significant correlation
Significantly higher mean leveb of private self-consciousne3s are al30 found in those who
state maternal approval of their career choice as important, the majority of these being
onstage performers. Whether a lack of maternal approval of career choice has prompted a
Discussion ctd.
Limitations of the study are several. Non-random selection of samples and too small sample
sizes limit both the generalisability of results and the use of parametric statistics and
multivariate analysis. Familiarity with some of the respondents, particularly the pit
musicians (ie.work colleagues) could have jeopardised the honesty of responses. Some may not
have wished to divulge 'sensitive ' information, fearing the possibility of recognition, even
though anonymity and confidentiality were assured. Familiarity with the respondent may have
al30 i nfl uenced those who i nitiall y vol unteered to fill i n the questionnai re, i ncreasi ng the
non- representative component of the convenience sample.
As previously discussed, examining self-esteem and the other socially sensitive variables,
can make meaningful interpretation rather spurious, due to the confounds of social
responses. Lack of control over the time and place when the questionnaire is filled out may
particularly affect, whether the self-esteem measure is acce33ing trait or state self-esteem.
For example, the high self-esteem scores, which were unexpectedly the largest in onstage
employment being quite an uncommon state for most actors and musicians ( 5 % employment at
any one time - Actor's Equity, Australia, 1991).
questionnaires, before and after performance, and perhap3 during a period of non-performing
may provide a more global picture of 3elf-esteern levels. Using a number of different self-
esteem measures could be more profitable, in order to make allowance for the arbitrarily
Using larger samples may help to counteract the effects of variability often resulting from
with perhaps, a focu3 on one type of performer, rather than several, to see if personality
variables can be further isolated, according to performance activities. For example, assessing
self-consciousness, along with verbal versus motor skills, could be an interesting project.
The use of interviews to elicit life history, family dynamics, significant life events, family
interaction and communication style may provide additional comparative criteria for future
and music, expressing feelings and emotions that were not perceived by the individual as
having been validated by significant others early in life . Through performing, they are getting
the recognition, attention and 'approval' for themselves that will assist in the development of
