Abstract:
A sample of 270 tennis players representing 56 high school programs were assessed on competitive trait and state anxiety during the active season. A series of multivariate analyses of variance indicated that highly trait-anxious athletes reported greater cognitive A-state, greater somatic A-state, and lower state self-confidence than low trait-anxious athletes.
