ABSTRACT:
To test competitive anxiety as a function of skill level and time to competition, track and field female athletes were administered the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory at different times in a competitive season. Anxiety increased as time to competition drew near. There was no significance with skill level. The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory was administered to female intercollegiate, track and field athletes. The subjects were divided into two groups: qualifiers (n=8) who reached national standard and nonqualifiers (n=11), and were tested prepractice, postpractice, premeet and pre-event. Results confirmed the hypothesis that A-state increases as time to competition nears. However, the predicted interaction of qualification status vs. time was not significant.
