Voice, vulnerability, and expressive growth: investigating AI anxiety and performance appraisal in voice arts education.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
As artificial intelligence (AI) voice technologies rapidly evolve, students training in vocal performance increasingly grapple with anxiety about their artistic identities and career trajectories. This study investigates how AI-related Anxiety (AIA) influences both self-perceived artistic expressiveness (SAE) and external evaluations of expressive performance (TAE). Anchored in the Vienna Integrated Model of Art Perception (VIMAP), and employing a revised version of the Expressive Power Scale, we conducted a mixed-methods study involving 414 vocal performance students and 414 independent raters across three Chinese universities. Quantitative analyses revealed that students with heightened AIA tended to undervalue their expressive capacities, even when third party ratings were favorable. Structural equation modeling indicated that AIA negatively predicted externally assessed expressiveness, and self-assessment had only a weak positive effect. In the qualitative findings, novel psychological themes were identified including emotional distancing and rediscovering one's creative agency in the face of AI. These results underline the significance of integrating both psychological skills and AI literacy into vocal performance training, while also ensuring students can retain their artistic identity in a potentially AI-driven context.
