Notes
- Abstract:
- The purpose of the current study was to investigate precompetitive state anxiety, self-confidence, and coping strategies in collegiate baseball players of different competitive levels and positions played on the field. Participants were NCAA division I, II, and III baseball players from across the United States. The Sport Anxiety Scale, Athletic Coping Skills Inventory, and the State Sport Confidence Inventory were used to assess the participants’ precompetitive state anxiety, self-confidence, and coping strategies, respectively. A 3 (competition level) x 3 (position) factorial multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to examine the effects of competition level (i.e., Division I, II, or III) and position (i.e., pitcher, outfielder, infielder) on confidence, anxiety, and coping levels. Results showed statistically significant correlations between all dependent variables. The MANOVA revealed an effect approaching significance for position on anxiety, confidence and coping, as well a significant effect of competition level on confidence.
