GENERAL PROSPECTIVE OF MODIFIED COMPETITIVE ANXIETY LEVEL IN TEACHERS
Abstract
Teachers are traditional educators and must be able to deliver good quantity of competitive spirit. Sport competition has become so important in today’s society that extremely lofty expectations by others are placed on competing athletes regardless of competitors’ abilities, reasons for participation, and skill levels. The stressful nature of sport and the competitive environment place many demands on athletes (Jones, 1995).Sport psychology has been directed towards the emotional responses to such stressors and in particular the study of competitive anxiety (Martens, Vealey, & Burton, 1990; Woodman & Hardy, 2001). Competitive state anxiety is conceptualized as a situation-specific multidimensional construct comprising cognitive and somatic components (Martens et al., 1990; Smith, Smoll, Cumming, & Grossbard, 2006).
