Abstract: Introduction: Music performance anxiety (MPA) is a significant challenge for amateur and professional musicians, as well as music students. Systematic literature reviews highlight a lack of research on the role of contextual variables in MPA. This study contributes to existing knowledge by examining how job characteristics, particularly job demands and job resources, influence MPA among collaborative pianists. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted on 94 collaborative pianists (24% of the population) working at all three levels of the Slovenian music education system. Data were collected through an online survey, including demographic characteristics, objective workload measures, and perceived job characteristics scales (cognitive job demands, emotional demands, job influence, role clarity, role conflict, and organizational justice), along with an adapted MPA scale. Confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency analysis were conducted for each scale, followed by correlation analysis and a multiple linear regression model to predict MPA. Results: The study tested six hypotheses, with mixed support for the proposed relationships. The regression model explained 50% (F = 5.11; df1 = 10, df2 = 51, p < 0.001) of the variance in MPA, with perceived emotional demands (β = 0. 50; t = 3.57; p < 0.001) and role conflict (β = 0.38; t = 2.65; p = 0.011) playing significant roles in predicting MPA. Discussion and conclusions: The findings enhance the understanding of MPA in the job context and have practical implications for music school management. Future research should explore the interaction between job characteristics and individual psychological resources across diverse professional and cultural contexts with representative samples.

Abstract: V današnjem hitro razvijajočem se izobraževalnem okolju sposobnost raziskovanja ni več omejena na akademsko sfero. Za učiteljice in učitelje je sposobnost izvajanja in uporabe pedagoških raziskav ključnega pomena pri spodbujanju na dokazih temelječih praks ter zagotavljanju, da so pedagoške strategije usklajene s trenutnim razvojem in z različnimi potrebami razredov. Poglavja v tej monografiji tako izražajo enotno sporočilo: če učiteljice in učitelje opremimo z raziskovalnimi kompetencami, s tem ne le krepimo njihovo strokovno rast, temveč tudi izboljšujemo izobraževalne rezultate na vseh ravneh. Ena od osrednjih tem, ki se pojavlja v poglavjih, je dvojna vloga, ki jo morajo imeti učiteljice in učitelji kot izobraževalke in izobraževalci ter raziskovalke in raziskovalci. Ta dvojna vloga zahteva razvijanje miselnosti, ki ceni raziskovanje, kritično mišljenje in refleksivno prakso. Učiteljice in učitelji, ki so usposobljene in usposobljeni, da svoje učilnice obravnavajo kot dinamične prostore za raziskovanje in inovacije, se lahko bolje odzovejo na edinstvene izzive svojih učenk in učencev. Vsebina te monografije se poglobi v različne vidike tega pristopa in se prevprašuje, kako je tako za učiteljice in učitelje kot za učenke in učence mogoče oblikovati učno okolje za spodbujanje teh kompetenc.

Abstract: This study investigates the indirect mechanisms relevant to converting young adults’ prosocial attitudes and individual responsibility into their prosocial behavior. Our results are based on a sample of 530 young adults studying at three public regional business schools in South East Europe. They show a signifcant favorable infuence on young adults’ civic and political involvement, mediating the relationship between individual responsibility attitudes and prosocial behavior. However, this would not have been expected based on previous research. Another indirect path between the same variables is modeled using a hypothesized moderated mediation efect. The institutional infuence of higher education proves to be a signifcant mediator of the proposed relationship, moderated by the amount of educational content in the felds of ethics, social and environmental responsibility. At midand-high levels of exposure to relevant educational content, this indirect path signifcantly infuences the developing young adults’ pro-environmental behaviors. The study results are discussed from the viewpoint of peripheral regions with a history of dysfunctional social capital mechanisms.

Abstract: The study examined an intergenerational model offinancial socialization and its outcomesthat connects parents’and their children’s self-perceivedfinancial learning outcomes tosatisfaction withfinancial management and parent-childfinancial relationships. Theconceptual model was based on models offinancial socialization processes contributing tohealthyfinancial development of emerging adult students (Shim et al., 2010; Sirsch et al.,2020), but extended the links across two generations within the same family. Consideringperspectives of both generations in a single model, it was tested in a sample of 482 pairs ofSlovenianfirst-year university students and one of their parents. Structural equationmodeling revealed that parental healthyfinancial learning outcomes (knowledge, be-havioral control, behavior) shaped their children’s positivefinancial development (fi-nancial learning outcomes and satisfaction) and promoted the parents’satisfaction withfinancial management. In turn, both the students’and the parents’financial managementsatisfaction positively predicted a joint measure of satisfaction with parent-childfinancialrelationship. Similar links offinancial learning outcomes to satisfaction withfinancialmanagement and parent-childfinancial relationships were observed for both generations,even though parents and their children werefinancially socialized under different so-cioeconomic conditions.
