Research Topic

The subject that I am primarily interested in researching is performance anxiety, or "stage fright".  I would like to learn more about its causes, effects, and the ways in which people address it as a problem. As a flute performance major, this particular topic has played an unfortunately large role in my education, and I hope to discover ways in which to help myself while researching the topic. Some prelimiary questions that I hope to answer:
-"Is there a 'cause' to performance anxiety? Ie., is it psychological physical?"
-"How does it manifest itself in others?"
-"Who does it affect? Are there famous performers who encounter these problems?"
-"What are the ways in which other performers manage their anxiety?"
-"Is there a 'cure' or simply ways by which to keep it under control?"
