what can be used to measure anxiety (CT AND CS)
SCAT (sports competitive anxiety test)

a closed questionnaire designed to give the coach an insight into the players behaviour in competitive situations (level of scat), dealing with stress and help them overcome this

irrational thought as the player may be able to deal with the situation by the anxiety means perception is different
what is somatic anxiety
a response to the belief you cannot complete the task
physiological response to a threat such as increased heart rate
when is somatic anxiety usually at its worst
during the start of an event
examples of how somatic anxiety can affect the body
increase in heart rate
sweating
muscle tension=less range of movement=worse performance
sickness
what are the 3 ways sports anxiety is measured
questionnaires
observations
physiological testing
why is it important to measure anxiety
useful to ensure coaches know about how a player will deal with a situation
what are benefits of questionnaires
quick
comparable results
deals with lots of info
cheap
what is an observation
can simply be watching sports people either in training environment or during the game
what is a benefit of observation

what are 2 benefits of physiological testing
factual allowing comparisons easily
accurate
can be done in training or even real game situations
allowed by tech, can be collected during game
2 drawbacks of using questionnaires
mood dependent
rushed=incorrect response
might not understand q
leading questions
social desireability
what can physiological measures measure
increased:
hr
sweating
respiration
hormone level
2 drawbacks of using physiological testing
devices can restricts movement
high cost my deter amateurs from using them
training for how to use them
can cause additional stress as they know theyre being evaluated
2 drawbacks of using observations
opinion of observers=subjective data
anxiety due to observation
change behaviour because being watched
time consuming, as observer needs to know base level of normal behaviour beforehand
ms: subjective/not objective
reliant on skill of obvs
time consuming
expensive
needs to be done >once
need to know normal for comparison
may need several observers
alter behaviour: more anxiety, increased state anxiety, experience evaluation apprehension, social inhibition
on a graph (anxiety score on Y, time on X) where does cognitive anxiety first present itself andwhy
presents early (eg 48hrs prior) as they are worrying about the competition
on a graph (anxiety score on Y, time on X) once cognitive anxiety is presented what is the rest of the trend like
it continues in a flight line (from near top) until it steadily drops off ending just after 24hrs of excersise
