The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of post-performance conductor behaviors on college music students’ perceptions of ensemble performance quality and conductor competence. Participants ( N = 202) were collegiate musicians who watched two videos of a male or female conductor, one with excellent and one with poor post-performance conductor behaviors. Although the visual aspects of each video were different, all videos had the same audio. After watching both videos, participants rated different aspects of the ensemble’s performance quality and the conductor’s competence. The post-performance conductor behaviors displayed in the videos had a significant effect on participants’ ratings of music performance quality ( p < .001), and there was also a significant interaction between post-performance conductor behavior and order ( p < .001). Additionally, post-performance conductor behaviors also affected participants’ ratings of conductor competence ( p < .001). Conductors with excellent post-performance stage behaviors were rated as being significantly more competent than directors who exhibited poor post-performance behaviors. No significant differences in participants’ ratings of ensemble performance quality or conductor competence were found as a function of conductor gender.

演出后指挥家行为对合奏表演质量和指挥能力感知的影响


本研究的目的是检查演出后指挥行为对大学生对合奏表演质量和指挥能力的看法的影响。参与者 （ N = 202） 是大学音乐家，他们观看了两个男性或女性指挥的视频，一个是优秀的指挥，一个是演出后行为不佳的。尽管每个视频的视觉方面不同，但所有视频都有相同的音频。在观看了这两个视频后，参与者对合奏团的表演质量和指挥的能力进行了不同方面的评价。视频中显示的表演后指挥行为对参与者对音乐表演质量的评分有显着影响 （p < .001），表演后指挥行为与顺序之间也存在显着交互作用 （p < .001）。此外，表演后的指挥行为也影响了参与者对指挥能力的评分 （ p < .001）。具有出色演出后舞台行为的指挥家被认为比表现出不良演出后行为的导演更有能力。未发现参与者对合奏表演质量或指挥能力的评分与指挥性别的函数存在显著差异。
