ABSTRACT:
The Anxiety Rating Scale-2 (ARS-2) is a shortened version or the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) that has recently displayed greater concurrent validity than the initial Anxiety Rating Scale (Cox & Robb, 1999). It was the purpose of this investigation to further determine the psychometric properties of the ARS-2 by examining the construct validity of the revised short form inventory with individual sport athletes. Participants in this investigation were 302 college age intramural athletic participants in several individual sport paradigms (table tennis, one-on-one basketball, racquetball and badminton, pickleball, and wrestling). Results from a 2 x 2 (gender x outcome) MANOVA revealed a significant main effect for outcome but no significant main effect for gender or gender by outcome interaction. Follow-up descriptive discriminant analysis structure coefficients for cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and confidence were .12, .18, and .90, respectively, indicating that confidence was meaningful in predicting game outcome. Results demonstrate the construct validity of the ARS-2, in that winning and losing individual sport athletes could be discriminated as a junction of scores on the ARS-2. Results are discussed in terms of the importance or short rating scales within precompetitive anxiety measurement and the future examination of the directionality concept.^L
