ABSTRACT:
An exploratory investigation of 25 basketball officials' perceptions of trait anxiety, and state anxiety before, during (half time), and after a basketball game was conducted. Twenty-five male high school and college basketball officials were administered a demographic questionnaire and basketball officiating modified version of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2; Martens, Vealey, & Burton, 1990). The participants completed the CSAI-2 within 30 minutes of the start, during half time, and within 15 minutes after the completion of the game. Also after the game, the basketball officials completed a basketball officiating-modified version of the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT; Martens et al., 1990). Results indicated that the officials reported feeling significantly less cognitive anxiety after a contest than before a contest (p = .018). Also, no significant changes in self-confidence and somatic anxiety across the three contest administrations. Comparisons are made between the officials' scores with the norms provided with the CSAI-2 and SCAT (Martens et al., 1990).
