  • Title: Anxiety, self-confidence and performance in Tae Kwon-Do.
    Author: Chapman C, Lane AM, Brierley JH, Terry PC.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1997 Dec; 85(3 Pt 2):1275-8. PubMed ID: 9450282.
    Abstract:
    142 male Tae Kwon-do competitors completed the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 about 1 hr. before competition. Multivariate analysis of variance showed that the players who won reported lower cognitive and somatic anxiety and higher self-confidence than those who lost. Discriminant function analysis indicated that 89 (62.68%) participants could be correctly classified as winners or losers on the basis of their precompetition Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 scores. The findings concur with previous research in karate.
