Factorial integrity of the sport anxiety scale: A methodological note and revised scoring recommendations

Article Abstract:

The current sport anxiety scale (SAS) subscales are not appropriate for children below the high school age level, where the three-factor structure was originally established and an attempt is made to evaluate proposed modifications of the SAS on both conceptual and empirical grounds. A new scoring system is recommended that deletes two troublesome Concentration Disruption items and one Somatic Anxiety item, preserving separate and factorially consistent Somatic, Worry, and Concentration Disruption subscales.
