Abstract

This study was carried out with in order to determine the pre-competition anxiety levels of sportsmen participating in the Turkish Folk Dance branch in terms of some variables. The population of the study, which was carried out using a general screening model, consisted of 253 sportsmen, participated with the local halay dance in the group competition, organized by the Turkish Folk Dance Federation in city of Malatya, and its sampling consisted of 187 sportsmen chosen from the population by a random method. State (instantaneous) Anxiety part of the State-Trait Continuous Anxiety Scale was used in the study. In analyzing the data, frequency, percentage, standard deviation, arithmetic mean, t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test were used in the study to find the source of the difference. As the result of the study, it has been determined that the overall arithmetic mean of the pre-competition instantaneous anxiety state felt by the sportsmen, statistically was 2.34. A statistically significant difference was found in the research in terms of pre-competition instantaneous anxiety state of feeling of the sportsmen, depending on the variables of gender, age and folk playing time. Nonetheless, depending on the gender, it was determined in the research, that the sportsmen of 20-22 and 17-19 age groups, in favour of the female athletes and according to the age variable, the sportsmen who played folk dances less than a year according to the dancing time variable, felt more pre-competition instantaneous anxiety compared to the sportsmen of other groups.

The Examination of Pre-Competition Anxiety Levels of Muay-Thai Athletes

“…These results show that the longer the participants are engaged in Muay Thai, the less anxiety they have, which might be due to the fact that having more experience decreases their anxiety and provides them with a more relaxed mood before competitions. This result is similar to those reported by studies on professional football players (Koç, 2004), athletes (Başaran, 2008), judokas (Çelik, 2010) and folk dancers (Hacıcaferoğlu et al, 2015;Uslu, 2018).…”

“…Our result is similar to those reported by studies on taekwondo players (Yücel, 2003), basketball players (Erbaş & Küçük, 2012), individual and team athletes (Civan et al 2010), first-time divers (Oktay & Yıldız, 2018) and folk dance teams (Uslu, 2018). Çelik (2010) and Hacıcaferoğlu et al (2015), on the other hand, reported that age is negatively correlated with state anxiety. This might be due to the fact that with age comes maturity and experience, resulting in a decrease in anxiety.…”

The Effect of Coach-Athlete Relationship upon State-Anxiety Levels of the Athletes

“…Başaran, Taşkın, Sanioğlu and Taşkın (2009) found that the state anxiety levels of male athletes were higher than female athletes in their study of investigation of state and constant anxiety levels of athletes according to various parameters. Hacıcaferoğlu, Seçer and Hacıcaferoğlu (2015) found that female athletes' pre-competition state anxiety levels were higher than male athletes in their study on the state anxiety levels of athletes in the folk dances branch. It is thought that the sports branch has an effect on the differentiation of the state anxiety levels of the athletes according to gender.…”

Investigation of the Relationship Between Dance Self-Efficacy and Self-Confidence Levels and Performance Anxiety of Folk Dancers

“…Yöndem (2012), performans öncesi algılanan yeterlik, kişilik özelliğine ilişkin olumsuz nitelendirmeler, olumsuz düşünme, beğenilmeme korkusu, yetersiz hazırlık, mükemmeliyetçilik gibi düşünce içeriklerini, kaygı ile ilişkilendirmektedir. Kurtuldu (2017) Halk oyunu sporcuları üzerinde yapılan yarışma öncesi durumluk ve sürekli kaygı çalışmalarından elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiğinde, jüri tarafından değerlendirilme, seyircinin varlığı, yarışmaya konsantre olma, fiziki performans sergileme, başarı veya başarısızlık durumundaki sorumluluk duygusu gibi durumların kaygıya sebep olduğu, performansı değerlendirecek bir jüri olması durumunda, kişilerin performansla ilgili kaygı düzeylerinin arttığı, Jüriye karşı aşırı duyarlı olma ve jürinin hareketlerinden olumsuz anlamlar çıkarma gibi performans kaygısının belirtileri olduğu sonuçları bulunmuştur (Yöndem, 2012;Hacıcaferoğlu, 2015;Yıldırım 2020;Özgür, 2017;Yalçın, 2021).…”
