The Impact of Anxiety Experienced in Competition on Decision-Making: A Study on Individual Sports Competitions

Year 2024, Volume: 10 Issue: 3, 145 - 155, 30.09.2024

Abstract

Aim: Individuals who are exposed to anxiety, which is a type of stress response, can have negative effects on their behavior. Anxiety is divided into two sub-dimensions as physical (somatic) and cognitive anxiety. In this study, anxiety was addressed from its cognitive aspect (worry and concentration disruption). Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to reveal the impact of anxiety experienced by athletes in competition on their decision-making behavior.
Methods: SmartPls program was used for data analysis. A questionnaire form including anxiety and decision-making scales was applied to the athletes. Data was collected from 189 athletes using the survey technique. The collected data was examined with structural equation modeling.
Results: As a result of the analysis made; worry experienced by the athletes in the competition negatively affects their rational, intuitive, avoidant, dependent, and spontaneous decision-making behaviors. Accordingly, if the athletes are worried in the competition they perform, all decision-making behaviors are negatively affected by this situation.
Conclusion: The concentration disruption experienced by the athletes in the competition negatively affects the decision-making situation dependent on their decision-making behavior. In this sense, the fact that the athletes experience concentration disruption in the competitions in which they perform negatively affects the decisions they make in line with the recommendations and directions of others.

Müsabakada Yaşanılan Kaygının Karar Vermeye Etkisi: Bireysel Spor Müsabakalarında Bir Araştırma

Year 2024, Volume: 10 Issue: 3, 145 - 155, 30.09.2024

Abstract

Amaç: Bir stres tepkisi olan kaygıya maruz kalmanın bireylerin davranışları üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olabilmektedir. Kaygı, fiziksel (somatik) ve bilişsel kaygı olmak üzere iki alt boyuta ayrılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kaygı, bilişsel yönüyle (endişe ve konsantrasyon bozukluğu) ele alınmıştır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmanın temel amacı, sporcuların müsabakada yaşadıkları kaygının karar verme davranışları üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymaktır.
Yöntem: Veri analizi için SmartPls programı kullanılmıştır. Sporculardan kaygı ve karar verme ölçeklerinin yer aldığı bir anket formu uygulanmıştır. 189 sporcudan anket tekniği ile veri toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler yapısal eşitlik modellemesiyle incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Sporcuların müsabakada yaşadıkları endişe, onların akılcı, sezgisel, kaçınan, bağımlı ve kendiliğinden karar verme davranışlarını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Buna göre, sporcular katıldıkları müsabakalar sırasında endişeli iseler bu durumdan tüm karar verme davranışları olumsuz etkilenebilmektedir.
Sonuç: Sporcuların müsabakada yaşadıkları konsantrasyon bozukluğu, karar verme davranışlarına bağlı olarak karar verme durumlarını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu anlamda sporcuların performans gösterdikleri müsabakalarda konsantrasyon bozukluğu yaşamaları, başkalarının tavsiye ve yönlendirmeleri doğrultusunda aldıkları kararları olumsuz etkilemektedir.
