ABSTRACT:
This study examined the effects of perceived ability of opponent (toughest, moderate, and weakest) and game location (home, away) on precompetititve state anxiety levels in male and female high school basketball players. Each player from one male team (n = 14) and one female team (n = 9) was administered the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2), 30 minutes prior to competition, home and away, against the perceived toughest, moderate, and weakest conference teams. Results showed males and females experienced significantly higher cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and lower self-confidence as the ability level of the opponent increased. Away games created significantly higher somatic anxiety and lower self-confidence than home games. Females experienced significantly higher somatic anxiety and lower self-confidence than males across perceived ability and game location conditions. Precompetitive somatic anxiety and self-confidence may be strongly influenced by situational variables.
