Eh. Wong et al., RELATION BETWEEN SPORTS CONTEXT, COMPETITIVE TRAIT ANXIETY, PERCEIVEDABILITY, AND SELF-PRESENTATION CONFIDENCE, Perceptual and motor skills, 76(3), 1993, pp. 847-850
This study examined the relations among athletic context, i.e., team-s
port versus individual-sport, competitive trait anxiety, perceived abi
lity, and self-presentation confidence for 62 men and 34 women athlete
s. The analyses showed that the athletic context is associated with va
riations in competitive trait anxiety and self-presentation confidence
; however, no main effect or interaction was noted for perceived abili
ty. Results support the notion that aspects of the sports context are
significantly related to various precompetitive cognitions.
