“…These results are consistent with the idea that distraction-oriented coping is a distinct dimension of coping that may allow the replenishment of limited self-regulatory resources by allowing temporary halts from the situation (Alberts, Martijn, Nievelstein, Jansen, & de Vries, 2008). These associations remained significant even after controlling for ability level, a finding of conceptual relevance given that both coping and sport achievement can differ across ability levels (Hanton, Neil, Mellalieu, & Fletcher, 2008;Nicholls, Polman, Levy, Taylor, & Cobley, 2007). …”

This study examined the relationship between coping and sport achievement at the within-person level of analysis. Fifty-four golfers completed diary measures of coping, stress, and sport achievement after six consecutive rounds of golf. Results of hierarchical linear modeling revealed golfers' episodic task-oriented coping and disengagement-oriented coping were associated, respectively, with their better and worst levels of subjective and objective achievement. Distraction-oriented coping was not significantly associated with achievement. These results were obtained after accounting for between-subjects differences in ability level and for within-person variations in perceived stress across both practice and competitive golf rounds. These results contribute to an emerging literature on the relationship between coping and sport achievement, and highlight the promises of an episodic process model of sport achievement to understand the transient self-regulatory factors associated with within-person variations in athletic achievement.

“…Martens et al 3 believe that experienced athletes have more capacity to control their concerns, whereas other authors support the hypothesis that experienced athletes tend to perceive the competition from a more positive perspective 30 as they are more exposed to competitions and reflect positively on self-effectiveness, which in turn increases self-confidence during the contests 53 and favours the development of more effective coping strategies to deal with criticism from oneself and others 26,84 .…”

Background: There is a vast literature investigating the possible associations between competitive anxiety, athlete variables and sports context. As far as we are concerned, there is no study which has compiled such findings to produce more robust evidence on this topic. Objectives: The aim of the study was to conduct an exploratory systematic review of the literature followed by a meta-analysis in order to investigate possible associations between competitive anxiety, socialdemographic characteristics, profile of the athlete and sports context. Methods: Systematic searches of PubMed, PsycInfo, Web of Science, Lilacs and SciELO electronic databases were performed to identify studies published between January 2006 and January 2018, including a manual search in the references of the selected studies. Results: A total of 59 studies were included for qualitative synthesis and 27 for meta-analysis. More robust associations were observed between competitive anxiety and female gender, lower age, and less experience time. Discussion: Knowing the variables which exert influence on competitive anxiety can be relevant to plan specific treatment and intervention programs, enabling the athlete´s development beyond technical and physical preparation.

“…Se esperaba que se manifestaran diferencias en la ansiedad estado en función de su edad, de modo que los adultos experimentaran niveles más bajos, que los jóvenes, en la intensidad de la ansiedad somática y cognitiva, como ya sucediera en otras investigaciones (Hanton et al, 2008;Hernández et al, 2008;Kuuseok & Ratassepp, 2001;Mellalieu et al,2004), además de hacer una interpretación más positiva de los síntomas (Cerin, Szabo, Hunt, & Williams, 2000;Hanton & Jones, 1999). Se hipotetizó también que los adultos mostrarían además puntuaciones más altas en las dos subescalas (intensidad y dirección) de la autoconfianza, por entenderse esta como otra consecuencia lógica adaptativa ligada a una mayor experiencia.…”

. ARTÍCULO ORIGINAL ResumenObjetivos: Entendiendo la ansiedad desde una perspectiva multidimensional, el propósito de este estudio fue comprobar las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) en judokas españoles, y examinar las diferencias de ansiedad estado precompetitiva en función de su nivel deportivo, edad y género. Método: Participaron en el estudio 128 judokas de nivel amateur y alto rendimiento. Las variables medidas antes de la competición fueron: intensidad y dirección de la ansiedad somática, cognitiva y autoconfianza del CSAI-2. Resultados: Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el cuestionario administrado presentó unas propiedades psicométricas aceptables, y que existen diferencias en la dirección de la ansiedad somática y cognitiva para la edad, así como en la intensidad de la autoconfianza para el nivel deportivo. Las implicaciones que estos resultados pueden tener en el proceso de entrenamiento y en la competición se discuten en el documento.Palabras clave: Ansiedad precompetitiva, autoconfianza, judo. Precompetitive state anxiety in judo AbstractAim: The objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) in Spanish judokas, and calculate differences in pre-competitive state anxiety due the sport level, age and gender. We analyze these relationships using a multidimensional anxiety perspective. Method: A sample of 128 judokas from amateur to high performance level participated in our study. The intensity and directional somatic anxiety, cognitive anxiety and self confidence of the CSAI-2 were measured. Results:The results show that the questionnaire administered showed acceptable psychometric properties, and there are differences in directional somatic and cognitive anxiety for age, and in intensity self confidence for sport level. The implications of these findings for the process of training and competition are discussed in the document.Keywords: Pre competitive anxiety, self confidence, judo.
