SOURCES OF SPORTS ANXIETY OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES IN THEIR SPORTS PERFORMANCE: BASIS FOR PROGRAM INTERVENTION

Mark Anthony B. Rosario

Abstract


Sports anxiety is one of the reasons why the performance of senior high school student-athletes might be affected. The purpose of this study is to identify the different sources of the sports anxiety of senior high school athletes in Metro Manila. It also sought to answer if there are significant differences among these sources. This quantitative research utilized a standard questionnaire namely Competitive Sport Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) developed by Rainer Martens et al. (1990). The research used the snowball technique to choose a sample from the population. The study utilized weighted mean, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to address the problem. The study confirms that sources of sports anxiety in terms of cognitive anxiety and self-confidence are often experienced with a general weighted mean of 3.11 and 3.05, respectively while somatic anxiety is rarely experienced with a weighted mean of 2.42. The study confirmed that there are no significant differences among these sources of sports anxiety.
