An interactional model of stress that integrates current research on competitive affects and emphasizes the temporal dimensions of the stress process is forwarded. The literature reveals that the study of athletes' affective responses to competition has been narrowly focused on pre-competitive anxiety. Equivocal findings on temporal patterning of competitive anxiety suggest that a fundamental change in the empirical approach is needed because the current conceptualization of anxiety and other complex emotions is imprecise. The analysis of secondary emotions as patterns of discrete basic emotions, as suggested by differential emotions theorists, is proposed for consideration in future research. In this view, competitive anxiety is considered as a set of patterns of emotions rather than a unitary affect. The adoption of this approach could result in better operationalization of competitive anxiety as well as other secondary performance-related emotions. We propose that research on competitive affects should follow two parallel lines. The first should focus on the description of complex emotional states that reflect the idiosyncratic emotional experience and vocabulary of the athlete. The second should examine the sets of basic emotions experienced throughout competition, and focus on individual differences and factors determining those differences. The integration of the two approaches could lead to a better understanding of whether, how and why individuals differ in the interpretation of specific secondary emotions and their effect on performance. Moreover, it would permit the analysis of intra-individual variations in labelling secondary emotions with respect to different competitive contexts and temporal aspects.

“…A modified Borg's intensity scale (Hanin, 2000) with verbal anchor 0 = nothing at all (low intensity), 0.5 very very little, 1 = very little, 2 = little, 3 = moderately, 5 = much, 7 = very much, 10 very very much, and 11 = maximum possible (high intensity) was then used to secure the emotion intensities. Satisfactory reliability of the individualized scale has been reported on Olympic level soccer players ( Hanin & Syrjä, 1996).…”

“…IZOF concept, proposed by Hanin (1997) assumes that each individual has a specific intensity range for a given emotional state. In line with IZOF concept, various studies have demonstrated the "in-out of zone" notion within competition and across sports (Hanin & Syrjä, 1996;Robazza, Bortoli, & Hanin, 2006). The notion of individually optimal emotion intensity and the in-out of zone principle are proposed in IZOF to identify intensity effects upon performance.…”

Understanding emotional influence that affect sport performance in archery helps to design the appropriate intervention in athlete's preparation. The present study examined the effect of emotion intensity from four Olympic level recurve archers on error scores and performance outcomes; compared individual emotion intensities of three competing archers during Olympic competition with previously established individual optimal zone; and examined the influence of being "in or out of individual zone" relating the archer's achievement with the individual target set by the coach and performance outcome during Olympic competition. The results revealed that unpleasant dysfunctional emotion (N-) had the most influence on performance score. The in-out of zone results derived from the archers data lend support to emotion-performance relationship.

“…Moreover, two additional dimensions are viewed as being valuable in understanding the dynamics of the experiences: the temporal patterning and change in emotional experiences before, during and after performance (time), and the environment and situation evoking the state, for example, practice or competition (context). Whereas the original IZOF work relied on standardised anxiety inventories (Hanin & Syrjä, 1996), a key assumption in the IZOF emotion approach is that similar emotional states can be either helpful or harmful to athletes. This is predicted to depend on the idiosyncratic intensity and content of the athlete's experience (Hanin, 2000a).…”

“…Hence, the importance of identifying the individual's own optimal zone of anxiety, in which the athlete would be able to perform at personal best, was highlighted. Moreover, the findings suggested a need to conduct intra-individual, in preference to inter-individual, comparisons of anxiety patterns (Hanin & Syrjä, 1996). According to the individual anxiety zone notion, the anxiety level was also assumed as being possible to predict several days prior to the event (Hanin, 1989;Hanin & Syrjä, 1996).…”

Elevated levels of anxiety are a common response to stressful competitive sports situations, are known to moderate athletic performance and are referred to as an unpleasant emotional state associated with perceptions of situational threat. The empirical studies in this dissertation considered primarily psychometric, methodological and conceptual issues of relevance for the study of anxiety and sports performance. In Study I, athletes were followed across a full competitive season to explore patterns of inter-and intra-individual variability of anxiety and self-confidence in relation to performance. The findings imply intra-individual anxiety and selfconfidence variability to affect performance differently than the specific intensity level and are discussed in relation to more stable personality dispositions such as private self-consciousness. Study II evaluated the psychometric properties of the 27-item Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) and alternative versions of this scale. General support for a 17-item version (CSAI-2R) was found, but there are also psychometric limitations future research needs to resolve. Study III investigated assessment of intensity and directional ratings on single anxiety items with reference to the conceptualisation of anxiety symptoms as interpreted on a debilitative-facilitative continuum. The findings question the importance and rationale of assessing anxiety direction and revealed serious concerns with assessment procedures and statistical techniques applied in previous research. These concerns were also supported in Study IV, which explored athletes' idiosyncratic experiences of debilitative and facilitative anxiety symptoms in terms of intensity and emotional valence. The findings are discussed and summarised in a model in order to increase conceptual clarity and provide implications for future research regarding anxiety and related emotional performance states.
