Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop the Trait Anxiety Inventory for Sports (TAIS), measuring competitive trait anxiety in sport situations, and to confirm its reliability and validity. For the theory and framework of competitive anxiety, Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Model and Martens' study in sport psychology were used. TAIS (from-2) consisting of 68 items was administerd to 202 male and 297 female college athletes who participated in the 35TH Intercollegiate Athletic Games in the Kyusyu District from June to August and from October to November, 1985. Furthermore, in order to examine reliability and validity, 167 junior high school, 188 high school, and 102 college athletes (male and female) participated in this study. Reliability was examined by Spearman-Brown's coefficient of reliability and correlation coefficient on retest method, and analysis of validity was conducted by computing the correlation coefficient between TAIS and Spielberger's TAI scale and Matens' SCAT scale. The results were summarized as follows: 1. The TAIS scale measuring trait anxiety in the sport situation was completed. It consisted of 25 items including 5 independent factors; "Mental agitation", "Cognitive worry concerning victory or defeat", "Tendency of somatic anxiety", "Flight from situation", "Loss of confidence". 2. A high and significant coefficient of reliability (SB =.939, p<.01) by Spearman-Brown's formula and correlation coefficient (r =.810, p<.01) by the retest method was found among all subjects. The same results were found without distinction of sex and age. 3. A high and significant correlation coefficient between TAIS and TAI (r =.559, p<.01), and SCAT (r =.684, p<.01) was found among all subjects. On the analysis of distinction of sex and age, the same results were also found.
