Participant P0014's individual self-reported psychosocial complaints: Scores of the 12-item Shortform Survey (SF-12) aggregated to the Physical Component Summary (PCS-12) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS-12) scale (*cut-off values referring to Wirtz et al. 2018, electronic supplement 1, mean +/− 1SD for the relevant age group of P0014); scores of the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales aggregated to the Depression Scale (DASS-21_D), the Anxiety Scale (DASS-21_A), and the Stress Scale (DASS-21_S) (respective cut-off values referring to Nilges & Essau (no year)); total sum score of the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory 26-item form (K-MPAI-26) (no cut-off value available); Disability related to Depression, considered by P0014 as additional disease/symptoms).

Age of starting the PA years mean (SD), range 11.7 (8.9), 4–55

no income 32 (31.1) n=9 with professional training in at least one of the PA, n=3 with private lessons
Individual meaning of the PA for the participant (NRS from 0=no meaning at all to 10=the greatest meaning) median (IQR), range 9 (2), 2–10 For 88.4% of the artists, playing an instrument/singing/dancing/acting is very important (8–10/10 points on the NRS)
Evaluation of how bad a PA failure would be (NRS from 0=no meaning at all to 10=the greatest meaning) median (IQR), range 9(2), 1–10 For 85.4% of the artists, it would be very bad if they were no longer able to play their instrument/sing/dance/act (8–10/10 points on the NRS)
