This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance based on open skills may be more influenced by anxiety and self-confidence than performance based on closed skills. An open skill can involve either an individual or team sport with the athlete per-forming in an interactive and ever-changing environment (basketball, tennis). A closed skill is performed in a more stable environment that is relatively predictable and often self-paced (i.e. golf, gymnastics, crew teams). Anxiety may have a different impact on performance on these two types of skills, based on how the influence of the environment and other competitors potentially moderate the anxiety/performance relationship. Evidence from the literature on precompetitive mood and performance suggests that the more an athlete interacts with an opponent, the more likely the opponents actions or performance will exert an influence on the relationship be-tween mood and performance. As there is more contact with the opponent in open skill sports, therefore one could predict that anxiety would have a more detrimental effect on performance in open skill sports than in closed skill sports, due to the greater interaction with opponents and less controls over the environment.

Book Synopsis Investigating Life Stress, Competitive Trait Anxiety and Competitive State Anxiety with Athletic Injury Occurrence in NCAA Division I Athletes by : Nikki Marie Ramella-DeLuca
Download or read book Investigating Life Stress, Competitive Trait Anxiety and Competitive State Anxiety with Athletic Injury Occurrence in NCAA Division I Athletes written by Nikki Marie Ramella-DeLuca and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the relationship of life stress, competitive trait anxiety and competitive state anxiety, with injury occurrence in NCAA Division I athletic teams. Life stress was measured by the Life Events Survey for Collegiate Athletes. The Competitive State Anxiety Test and Marten's Sport Competition Trait Anxiety Test calculated competitive anxiety. After calculating means and standard deviations for each measure, a multiple regression was run. A two-way ANOVA was used to determine differences between sport and gender. The results of the study indicated there was no effect of gender for trait anxiety, cognitive and somatic state anxiety or gender. A significant main effect was found between gender and self-confidence. There was no effect of gender for life stress. There was no effect of sport for cognitive state anxiety, somatic state anxiety, self-confidence, or life stress. The CSAI-2 self-confidence showed no significant difference between sport. No significant relationships were noted between injury score and any of the independent variables.

Download or read book Dimensions of Anxiety and Their Effect on an Aspect of the Performance Process written by Ralph Richard Schoenfeld and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pressure and anxiety of performing well will increase as the importance of winning continues to be stressed in competitive sports. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anxiety-performance relationship in an applied, field-tested manner by examining the relationship between competitive state anxiety and the incidence of mental errors committed under various levels of competition. Male and female elite athletes of the men's and women's basketball teams from the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Regina (Saskatchewan, Canada) made up the subject population for this study. The study utilized the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT, Martens, 1977) to measure trait anxiety (Trait-A), and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2, Martens, Burton, Vealey, Bump & Smith, 1983) to assess the multidimensional nature of state anxiety (State-A). A Mental Error Questionnaire was developed by the researcher in collaboration with the participating teams' coaching staffs to evaluate the commission of mental errors. Independent variables consisted of gender, and competition, while commission of mental errors and dimensions of state anxiety served as the dependent variables. Seven primary hypotheses were tested using one-way ANOVAs, correlation and multiple regression analyses, while two secondary hypotheses were tested using two-way ANOVAs to determine interaction effects. Findings of the study included: (1) low to moderate correlations for SCAT's ability to predict state anxiety dimensions (as measured by the CSAI-2); (2) no significant differences between the dimensions of anxiety or gender and the commission of mental errors; (3) a significant difference between gender and anxiety for the cognitive anxiety dimension; (4) a significant difference between the commission of mental errors and cognitive and somatic anxiety dimensions; (5) a significant difference between the level of competition and somatic anxiety for the practice condition; (6) no significant difference between the level of competition and the commission of mental errors; (7) significant predictor variables (cognitive anxiety and self-confidence) for mental errors on competition, and (8) no significant interaction effects between levels of competition and gender with respect to dimensions of anxiety or the commission of mental errors. Therefore, it was concluded that neither gender nor the level of competition appear to have a significant impact on the dependent variables.
Book Synopsis Competitive State Anxiety in Online Competitive Gaming by : Zachary Michael Zoet
Download or read book Competitive State Anxiety in Online Competitive Gaming written by Zachary Michael Zoet and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competitive anxiety is a psychological phenomenon where individuals perceive competitive situations as distressing. These feelings of apprehension or tension may cause individuals to experience symptoms consistent with an anxiety disorder (e.g., diaphoresis, palpitations, nausea, rumination). There are numerous studies examining competitive anxiety in traditional sports settings, but to date, no studies have outlined whether competitive anxiety is also experienced by persons active in competitive video games. This is despite competitive gaming communities describing an anxiety related condition known as "ladder anxiety." This study modified an existing, empirically validated measure for competitive anxiety to be able to be used in situations where persons are playing competitive video games. Four hundred and sixty participants took the modified inventory, in addition to batteries assessing trait anxiety and neuroticism for convergent validity. The results of the study indicated that there is validity to the anecdotal stories of "ladder anxiety" among online competitive gaming communities. Participants loaded strongly onto measures reflective of elevated cognitive anxiety, elevated somatic anxiety, and decreased self confidence in manners that are similar to how persons with competitive anxiety have loaded onto the measures in traditional competitive sporting situations.

M. Ching and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletes like normal individuals suffer from anxiety especially during the competition. Severe anxiety results to poor performance, leading to dissatisfaction to perform well and become a successful athlete. In order to help these athletes, this study explores the relationship of athlete's competitive state anxiety (CSA) and coping skills in order to develop a mental toughness training program (MTTP). A descriptive-correlational method was used in order to derive basketball and table tennis athletes of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP). Five universities participated in this study resulting to a pool of 192 athlete-respondents. In order to measure the CSA and coping skills of the athletes, the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2, Martens, Vealey, & Burton, 1990) and the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI, Smith, Schults, Smoll, & Ptacek, 1995) was used. Subjecting to statistical analysis, results yield various analyses.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the relationship between level of competition and competitive sport anxiety in youth recreational soccer players. Multidimensional Anxiety Theory served as the conceptual framework for this study. Participants consisted of 76 youth athletes ranging from ages 10-15 who participated in two specific levels of youth soccer: recreational league (beginner) and classic league (advanced). All participants completed the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 approximately one hour before competing in a game. ANOVA analyses were conducted for each of the competitive anxiety subscales (cognitive and somatic anxiety) and levels of competition. In addition, a univariate analysis was performed on the cognitive anxiety scores, with gender, age group, and soccer level as the fixed factors. Results revealed a significant difference in cognitive A-state anxiety for the classic league participants over the recreational league participants. Univariate analysis results confirmed no significant effect from the interaction between level of competition and gender or level of competition and age for both anxiety subscales.

Book Synopsis Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology by : Jim Taylor
Download or read book Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology written by Jim Taylor and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology is a comprehensive resource that offers both students and professionals the opportunity to hone their skills to help their clients, starting with the initial consultation and lasting through a long-term relationship. In this text, Jim Taylor and a team of sport psychology experts help practitioners gain a deep understanding of assessment in order to build trusting relationships and effective intervention plans that address the needs and goals of their clients. Part I of Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology covers topics such as the importance of assessment, the appropriateness of qualitative and quantitative assessment, ethical issues that can arise from assessment, and the impact of diversity in the use of assessment. Part II introduces readers to six ways that consultants can assess athletes: mental health screening, personality tests, sport-specific objective measures, interviewing, observation, and applied psychophysiology. Chapters in this section explain the strengths and weaknesses of each approach—for example, when traditional pencil-and-paper and observation approaches may be more appropriate than interviewing—and offer consultants a more complete toolbox of assessments to use when working with athletes. Part III addresses special issues, such as career transition, talent identification, and sport injury and rehabilitation. One chapter is devoted to the hot-button issue of sport-related concussions. Tables at the end of most chapters in parts II and III contain invaluable information about each of the assessment tools described, including its purpose, publication details, and how to obtain it. Chapters also contain sidebars that provide sample scenarios, recommended approaches, and exercises to use with clients. Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology works toward two main goals. The first is to help consultants gain a complete understanding of their clients through the use of a broad range of assessment tools. The second is to show consultants how to ethically and effectively use assessments to develop a comprehensive understanding of their clients, thus enabling them to assist their clients in achieving their competitive and personal goals.
