ABSTRACT:
Previous work with sport spectators had indicated that the affective, cognitive, and behavioral responses of these persons were often similar to those of athletes. In the current research, two studies were designed to extend this line of work to the experience of cognitive and somatic anxiety. It was hypothesized that spectators would experience an increase in cognitive and somatic anxiety as an important competition approached, that highly identified spectators would report higher levels of anxiety than lowly identified spectators, and that spectators would be able to accurately recall their anxiety several days after an athletic event. These hypotheses were supported through two studies employing a modified version of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory -2. Discussion centers on potential reasons for the relatively poor anxiety recall of highly identified spectators.
