Abstract
This study aims to adapt the CSAI-2 in the French version (EEAC), among 156 Tunisian athlete boys and girls one hour before competition. Therefore, our purpose is to refine the factorial analysis and get a shorter but stronger structure of the EECA version. Our study proposes a new Tunisian version of 13 items with (α = 0.85) instead of the first twenty three French version.
Highlights
Subject practicing semi professional or professional sport activity or those playing regular competitions are exposed frequently to the competitive stress causing different mood states and shooting behavioral troubles among athletes
Willing to explore the impact of the competitive stress on the state of humor and because of the lack of adapted scales in Tunisian library, we try to verify a very famous instrument, the French version of CSAI-2 by realizing this study [1], consisting of twenty-three items measuring the following three components: self-confidence, cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and evaluating the intensity of cognitive anxiety dominated by somatic anxiety symptoms such as increased heart rate and muscle tension while that plus a third component of self-confidence
State anxiety is considered as predictors of state cognitive and somatic anxiety (Gould et al 1984; Crocker et al, 1988) [3] [4], expectancy of success and achievement of a goal predicted essentially cognitive anxiety (Lane et al, 1995) [5]
Summary
Subject practicing semi professional or professional sport activity or those playing regular competitions are exposed frequently to the competitive stress causing different mood states and shooting behavioral troubles among athletes. Willing to explore the impact of the competitive stress on the state of humor and because of the lack of adapted scales in Tunisian library, we try to verify a very famous instrument, the French version of CSAI-2 (the EEAC; Cury, F., Sarrazin, P., Pérès, C., and Famose, J.P, 1999) by realizing this study [1], consisting of twenty-three items measuring the following three components: self-confidence, cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and evaluating the intensity of cognitive anxiety (characterized by negative expectations and self-doubts) dominated by somatic anxiety symptoms such as increased heart rate and muscle tension while that plus a third component of self-confidence. (2015) Validation of a Tunisian Version of the French Scale State Anxiety in Competition (EEAC): Sport and Exercise Context. The age and the expertise are identified as indicative of state anxiety (Hammermeister and Burton, 1995; Jones and Swain, 1995) [6] [7]
