valid objective measure that can be easily carrying for assessment of  competitive anxiety is not available in iran. competitive state anxiety inventory-2r (csai-2r) is introduced as a quick and easy diagnostic tool for competitive anxiety. the aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of csai-2r in the part of iranian society. the study population included all volleyball, ...

The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) has been the measure of choice among anxiety researchers in the sport domain since its development in 1990. A 17-item revised version, the CSAI-2R, was developed in 2003 by Cox and colleagues. The present study re-evaluated the psychometric characteristics of the CSAI-2R. Repeated measures data from 92 socialcompetitive tennis players at five p...

a valid questionnaire is a precursor to a sound measurement process. this study examined the psychometric properties of the persian version of the revised competitive state anxiety inventory – 2 (csai-2r). a total of 131 female taekwondo athletes (mean age =12.37 ± 2.52) from damghan completed csai-2r at competition venues. confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze the structure of csai-...

Objectives: Given recent concerns regarding its validity the aim of the present study was to examine the capability of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2(d) (CSAI-2(d)) in distinguishing between anxious and excited states. Design and Methods: British university athletes (n 188) were randomly assigned to one of two groups and asked to complete the CSAI-2(d) as if they were either excited ...

The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Revised (CSAI-2R), is one of the most frequently used instruments in the evaluation of situational anxiety in sports competition. Objectives: The objective of this study was to validate the Tunisian version based on the French version of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Revised (CSAI-2R), including the direction and the frequency scales. Method...

The multidimensional approach to the study of anxiety (Martens, Vealey, & Burton, 1990a) considers subcomponents of anxiety, specifically cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and self-confidence. Much of the research based on this theory has utilized the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2) (Martens, Burton, Vealey, Bump, & Smith, 1990b). Findings have been inconsistent, with some resear...

The purpose of the present field study was to examine the predictions of Multidimensional Anxiety Theory (MAT; Martens et a]., 1990) with elite male wheelchair basketball players. Thirty-seven elite male wheelchair basketball players completed the CSAI-I1 prior to each of three tournament games. Results were analyzed using the intraindividual procedures recommended by Sonstroem and Bernado (198...

This study investigated the nature of the relationship between precompetitive state anxiety (CSAI-2C), subjective (race position) and objective (satisfaction) performance outcomes, and self-rated causal attributions (CDS-IIC) for performance in competitive child swimmers. Race position, subjective satisfaction, self-confidence, and, to a lesser extent, cognitive state anxiety (but not somatic s...

The purpose of this study was to examine the multidimensional competitive anxiety trait-state relationship and explore the effects of trait anxiety upon directional interpretations of state responses. Competitive soccer players (N=102) completed the SAS [Smith, Smoll, & Schutz (1990) Anxiety Research 2, 263] and modified CSAI-2 [Martens, Burton, Vealey, Bump, & Smith (1990) In: Martens, Vealey,...

The purpose of this study was to use confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to revise the factor structure of the CSAI-2 using one data set, and then to use CFA to validate the revised structure using a second data set. The first data set (calibration sample) consisted of 503 college-age intramural athletes, and the second (validation sample) consisted of 331 intercollegiate (Division I) and inters...
