The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the intensity and direction of competitive state anxiety, self-confidence and performance in basketball and volleyball players prior to different matches. Male basketball (n=12) and volleyball players (n=12) completed a modified version of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) prior to 11 different matches, and a total o...

With the aim of validating the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory on a population of young Croatian volleyball players, 286 examinees, 106 male and 180 female volleyball players (average age of 16.09+/-1.83), filled out the CSAI-2, constructed by Martens, Vealey, Burton, Bump and Smith (1990)1. Given the fact that all scales of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory have good homogeneity, rel...

The Vocational Interest Inventory is one of the most commonly used instruments in career counselling past and present. aim this study to adapt Skills Confidence (SCI) obtain validity reliability evidence for its Turkish version. SCI version called BGMIE (Becerilere Güven Mesleki Ilgi Envanteri) a list vocational interests consisting 164 items measuring 17 different areas interests. In study, da...

This paper explores the information forest inventory data can produce regarding forest types that were not sampled and develops the equations necessary to define the upper confidence bounds on not-sampled forest types. The problem is reduced to a Bernoulli variable. This simplification allows the upper confidence bounds to be calculated based on Cochran (1977). Examples are provided that demons...

This paper discusses a universal approach to the construction of confidence regions for level sets {h(x) ≥ 0} ⊂ Rd of a function h of interest. The proposed construction is based on a plug-in estimate of the level sets using an appropriate estimate �hn of h. The approach provides finite sample upper and lower confidence limits. This leads to generic conditions under which the constructed confid...
