  • Title: Competition trait anxiety, state anxiety, and performance.
    Author: Poteet D, Weinberg R.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1980 Apr; 50(2):651-4. PubMed ID: 7375319.
    Abstract:
    This study tested predictions about social facilitation using a competitive (evaluation) vs non-competitive setting. In addition, subjects who exhibited low, moderate, or high anxiety concerning competition were selected to determine the relation of anxiety to social facilitation. The design was 2 (competition/no competition) X 3 (competition trait anxiety), with state anxiety and performance as the major dependent variables. In a significant main effect of anxiety about competition subjects high in competitive anxiety displayed higher levels of state anxiety than subjects moderate or low in anxiety about competition. Performance differences were non-significant although means were as predicted.
