ABSTRACT:
In past sport psychology research, there were inconsistent differences in anxiety patterns found between successful and less successful elite athletes. The present study focused on anxiety pattern differences between successful and less successful non-elite runners. The relationship between state anxiety and age, competitive experience, and athlete's level of trait anxiety were also examined. Analyses of the anxiety patterns revealed that such patterns differed between successful and less successful runners. Also, high trait anxious runners exhibited more state anxiety than the low trait anxious runners. These anxiety patterns were similar to the anxiety patterns of gymnasts and divers observed in previous research. The results are discussed in terms of possible differences between open-skilled and closed-skilled sports and between elite and non-elite athletes. Directions for further research are proposed.
