Abstract


The purpose of this study was to analyze anxiety levels in female pencak silat athletes in Gunung Kidul Regency, Indonesia. This study was quantitative with a cross-sectional survey approach. The sample consisted of seven female pencak silat athletes aged 16–20 years. This research instrument uses the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Revised (CSAI-2R). Data analysis based on descriptive percentage with categories: 0% - 20% 'very low', 21% - 40% 'low', 41% - 60% 'sufficient', 61% - 80% 'high', 81% - 100% 'very high'. The results of this study are the level of anxiety in the category of female athletes in pencak silat of 59.78%. These findings indicate that athletes possess the psychological ability to adapt to the demands of training and competition, yet still face mental stress that can potentially impact optimal performance. Therefore, the role of coaches, parents, friends, sports organizations or clubs, and structured mental training are key factors in helping athletes manage anxiety adaptively. Future research is recommended to use longitudinal or experimental designs and incorporate other psychological variables to gain a more comprehensive understanding.
