“…Some have looked into insecurity of attachment in relationship to HS. Kerns, Brumariu, and Abraham (2008) found no relationship between insecure attachment and HS among children at camp, in contrast to Thurber's studies as well as Stroebe et al (2002) and Shal et al (2011). But Thurber et al (2007) did not find an association either among hospitalized children.…”

“…Stroebe et al (2002) found some evidence that attachment insecurity (in their Dutch sample) and conflict with parents (in their English one) were related to certain aspects of HS. Anxious attachment was also related to HS in a sample of Iranian male students (Shal et al, 2011). Van Vliet (2001, p. 84) did not find attachment dimensions to be strong predictors in his longitudinal study of students, but interestingly, in his expatriate study, he found a higher proportion (88%) of securely attached persons in the expat group and only 1% were anxiously attached.…”

Large-scale migration in contemporary society underscores the need to learn about the complex experience of leaving home and relocating within or beyond one's own country. Separate consideration of various types of stressors associated with geographic moves is called for, because these are likely to be associated with different (but mutually exacerbating) correlates and consequences, perhaps leading to comorbidity. Homesickness (HS) is a frequent component of relocation, known to be related to certain adjustment difficulties and health problems, as well as clinical disorders. However, an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of scientific investigations of HS is lacking. Therefore, this article systematically reviews empirical research on HS, focusing on temporary sojourns from home. Fifty-five articles that conformed to adequate design and methodological criteria were identified in the literature. These studies reveal indicative patterns of findings relating to the prevalence, consequences, predictors, and prevention/treatment strategies for HS. Gaps in knowledge about phenomena and manifestations associated with HS are also discussed. Importantly, it is demonstrated that the inclusion of stressors in the new place when assessing HS limits understanding. We suggest theory-guided directions for future research.

“…As a specific coping strategy, self-efficacy has also been associated with musical performance (McPherson & McCormick, 2006;Papageorgi et al, 2013;Ritchie & Williamon, 2010). As a general psychological construct (Padilla, Acosta, Guevara, Gómez, & González, 2006), it has not been associated with MPA, but its occurrence correlates significantly with other specific problems (Shal, Sharbaf, Abdekhodaee, Masoleh, & Salehi, 2011;Skaret, Kvale, & Raadal, 2003). Other authors affirm, along the same lines, that the self-efficacy construct can mediate the effect of other variables, such as personality and stress (Ebstrup, Eplov, Pisinger, & Jørgensen, 2011).…”

Music performance anxiety (MPA) is a phenomenon often encountered among professionals and students who make public appearances. This article presents the results of a study carried out on a sample of music students in superior music conservatories in Spain ( N = 434). Our goal was to analyze MPA on the basis of Barlow’s (2000) anxiety theory, supplementing it with further personality constructs such as dispositional optimism, general auto-efficacy, and sensitivity to reward and punishment. Our structural equation modeling (SEM) results reveal that several of those constructs exert their effect via the helplessness factor – the central construct in Barlow’s theory – and that they likewise exert a further series of direct effects on MPA. All in all, the variables taken into consideration account for 45.6% of variance in MPA in males and of 52.1% thereof in females. This study thus upholds Barlow’s theory of anxiety, while broadening it with further explanatory mechanisms.

“…The results of this study indicate that many aspects of homesickness is evident in individuals who have insecure attachment style toward others. Similarly, Shal, Sharbaf, Abdekhodaee, Masoleh and Salehi (2011), also found that secure attachment style predicates homesickness in a way that it can reduce homesickness. Results of this study additionally indicate that avoidant and anxious attachment styles positively predict homesickness.…”
