(2) Methods: A sample of 164 undergraduate music students in Portugal (62.2% female; mean age = 22.63; SD = 4.36) completed an online survey composed of the K-MPAI Portuguese version, the State Trait Anxiety Inventory, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The K-MPAI psychometric properties were examined using exploratory factor analyses, known-group differences, and Cronbach\u2019s alpha. (3) Results: A four-factor structure was identified, in line with recent validation of this measure in other countries: music performance anxiety-related symptoms, depression and hopelessness, parental support, and memory self-efficacy. Concurrent and known-group validity were established, and reliability scores were appropriate for the dimensions and total score. (4) Conclusions: The results provide initial evidence of the appropriateness of the Portuguese version of the K-MPAI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs12020018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,23]],"date-time":"2022-01-23T20:32:52Z","timestamp":1642969972000},"page":"18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory: Contribution for the Portuguese Validation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Pedro","family":"Dias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Education and Psychology, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 4169-005 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"CEDH-Research Centre for Human Development, 4169-005 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Lurdes","family":"Ver\u00edssimo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Education and Psychology, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 4169-005 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"CEDH-Research Centre for Human Development, 4169-005 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"N\u00e2nci","family":"Figueiredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Education and Psychology, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 4169-005 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Patr\u00edcia","family":"Oliveira-Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Education and Psychology, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 4169-005 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"CEDH-Research Centre for Human Development, 4169-005 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Sofia","family":"Serra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CITAR-Research Centre for Science and Technology of the Arts, School of Arts, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 4169-005 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Coimbra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"i2ADS\u2014Research Institute of Art, Design and Society, School of Music and Performing Arts, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, 4000-045 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kenny, D.T.
