Lecture 5 intensity component of anxiety not as important as athletes perception of whether anxiety intensity was facilitative or debilitative aka direction component of anxiety. Csai-2 (comp state anxiety inventory): measures intensity response to be debilitative (negative rating) or facilitative(positive rating) to upcoming performance. Directionality scale requires the athlete to indicate on a seven point scale. Successful athletes could be differentiated from less successful athletes based upon anxiety direction scores but not intensity scores. Perry and williams: novice and skilled tennis players could be differentiated on the basis of directionality scores. Able to discriminate btw the 2 grps using intensity sores. Jerome and williams: bowlers found lil evidence of correlation. Page, sime and nordell: looked at negative perceptions about precomp anxiety could be changed through imagery.
