Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to assess the anxiety levels of women at Springfield College who were participating in intercollegiate basketball. The problem was concerned with anxiety as measured by the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and its influence on performance. (45) The first sub-problem was to ascertain whether there were any changes in pre-game and post-game state anxiety levels. The second sub-problem was to determine whether there were any differences in the state anxiety scores obtained from the three games designated "highly anxious" as compared to the three games that are "low anxious” in nature. The third sub-problem was concerned with whether there were any changes from the initial trait anxiety level, obtained on the X-2 form of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), prior to the season, to those trait anxiety scores obtained on the STAI at the season's end. The following stressful or anxiety producing situations involving basketball performance are listed below in the order of the intensity of the performance: 1. The Regional Championship Tournament, with testing pre- and post-performance for state anxiety levels. 2. All regularly scheduled games, with testing of state anxiety prior to and after competitive performance.

Book The Effect of Trait Anxiety on State Anxiety and Free Throw Performance of Female Collegiate Basketball Players

Download or read book The Effect of Trait Anxiety on State Anxiety and Free Throw Performance of Female Collegiate Basketball Players written by Kayla A. Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cattell (1965) and Spielberger (1966) proposed that there are two types of anxiety: state (fluctuating, temporary anxiety) and trait (stable, personality characteristic). The Yerkes-Dodson Law (1908) states that an individual’s performance can either be enhanced or impaired depending on the individual’s level of anxiety/arousal. Nideffer’s (1989) theory of Attentional and Interpersonal Style offers an explanation for the relationship between anxiety/arousal and performance, stating that the levels of anxiety/arousal effect an athlete’s willingness/ability to concentrate on task-relevant cues that aid performance. The purpose of this study was to determine if trait anxiety affects state anxiety and free throw performance of female collegiate basketball players. The revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) was used to measure the participants’ trait anxiety and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to measure the participants’ state anxiety in a pre-post design during two conditions (no pressure vs pressure). An ANOVA was used to test each hypothesis at the .05 level. Results demonstrated that trait anxiety had a significant effect on state anxiety with the level of state anxiety increasing as the level of trait anxiety increases. However, trait anxiety did not have a significant effect on performance. State anxiety had a significant effect on performance with performance decreasing as state anxiety increases. Condition also had a significant effect on performance with performance increasing in the second condition (pressure). These results indicate that individuals perform worse when they experience increasing levels of arousal and that pressure causes performance to increase.

Book Relationship of Anxiety Level and Performance in NAIA Intercollegiate Basketball Games

Download or read book Relationship of Anxiety Level and Performance in NAIA Intercollegiate Basketball Games written by K. James Boutin and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five NAIA intercollegiate men's basketball teams and 53 players served as subjects to determine the role pre-game anxiety played in basketball game performance. The study involved four games in which Western Oregon State College competed against other small colleges in Oregon during the 19 -81 season. Performance in basketball was ascertained by field goal percentage, free throw percentage, turnovers per minute played and personal fouls per minute played. Twelve hypotheses were established to determine the effect played on basketball perfOrmance, the impact of playing time, and the effect of being a game starter or non-starter. A review of literature revealed little factual data to indicate that high levels of anxiety lead to poor performance in athletic competition. Spielberger (112) developed the State-Trait Anxiety inventory which assessed both state and trait anxietyRainer Martens' (65-72) work served as the guiding and directing source of information. Two inventories measuring trait and state anxiety were administered to the players one -half hour prior to the intercollegiate games. The relationship between the anxiety level of NAIA basketball players and their performance in games indicated no significant levels. Players who possessed high levels of pre-game anxiety were apparently able to dissipate it once the game began, not reflecting the anxiety in their performance. Turnovers per minute was the basketball performance indicator most consistently affected by anxiety, reaching significant levels in the following situations: 1. Players who participated over 20 minutes. 2. In the relationship between the length of time played, number of personal fouls and turnovers. 3. Game starters with anxiety represented by one test item and non-starters by seven test items. 4. All players with anxiety represented by five different test items. It was suggested that further study of anxiety involve NCAA programs, other sports, other physical environments, other age groups, women's programs, the effect of the anxiety level of coaches, and determining what level of anxiety is optimal for player success in intercollegiate basketball.
