Download or read book A Temporal Examination of Achievement Goals Motivational Climate and Anxiety in Collegiate Swimmers written by Brittany D. Massengale and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in relationships among achievement goal orientations, perceived motivational climate, and pre-competitive anxiety, with attention to possible gender and specialty training group differences among collegiate athletes across a competitive season. A sample of 42 (23 male, 19 female) collegiate swimmers and divers, ages 18-23, completed the Achievement Goal Questionnaire for Sport (AGQ-S), the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2), as well as the Competitive State Anxiety Questionnaire-2D (CSAI-2D) four times over their competitive season. A three-factor (wave X gender X training group) repeated measures MANOVA revealed significant interactions for wave by gender by training group. In addition, results indicated significant main effect differences for wave and specialty training group; however, no main effect was found for gender. Follow-up within subject one-way ANOVAs showed significant differences in the PMCSQ-2 and CSAI-2D subscales over the four waves of data collection. This suggests that these constructs are dynamic and can change over the course of a competitive season.

Download or read book Relationships Between Mental Skills and Competitive Anxiety Interpretation in Open Skill and Close Skill Athletes written by Sharyn J. Aufenanger and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have garnered interest in the directional component of anxiety in addition to the intensity level, where athletes may view anxiety symptoms as facilitative or debilitative towards performance. Further, athletes in different types of sport may utilize specific mental skills in order to assist in their interpretation of anxiety symptoms. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between mental skills and interpretation of anxiety in athletes participating in open versus close skill sport. Eighty-eight open skill athletes and 40 close skill athletes completed the modified CSAI-2 and OMSAT-3. The results indicated that open and close skill athletes differed in intensity, but not interpretation, of somatic anxiety and self-confidence. Several mental skills were predictive of athletes' interpretation of anxiety and self-confidence as facilitative to their performance. Also, open and close skill athletes differed in how their mental skills related to intensity of anxiety and self-confidence.

Book The Relationship Between Anxiety and Performance Among Women Intercollegiate Athletes

Download or read book The Relationship Between Anxiety and Performance Among Women Intercollegiate Athletes written by Margaret Eileen Mathews and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between anxiety and performance among women tennis players and track athletes at the collegiate level. Nineteen subjects were members of the Washington State University tennis and track teams who participated in at least 80% of the scheduled matches or meets. The Institute of Personality and Ability Testing Eight Parallel Form Anxiety Battery was administered during a practice session and prior to two meets or matches. Scores obtained were paired with performance scores that were collected from competition. Both anxiety scores and performance scores were ranked and a Spearman Rank-Order Correlation was calculated to determine the relationship. The anxiety and performance correlation for meet l yielded a value that was not significant as did the correlation for meet 2. It was however, interesting to note that the #l singles player, one of the #2 doubles players and the #l track athlete (as determined by the tennis ladder and the number of points awarded at track meets) also scored highest in anxiety in relation to other subjects in this study. A correlation was also calculated to obtain a relationship between anxiety scores of competitors and their respective athletic experience in the sports under study. Again, the correlation proved to be not significant"--Document.
