Athletes who have high competitive-trait anxiety would be more likely to experience

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Athletes with high competitive-trait anxiety have a predisposition to experience high levels of state anxiety in response to competitive situations. This means that they are likely to experience high state anxiety across many competitive situations regardless of situational variables. Trait anxiety refers to a relatively stable tendency to experience anxiety across situations, so it is unlikely that athletes with high competitive-trait anxiety would have low trait anxiety across many competitive situations. Furthermore, the question suggests that the athletes have high competitive-trait anxiety, so it is unlikely that they would have low trait anxiety. Finally, the question does not provide any evidence to suggest that the athletes with high competitive-trait anxiety only experience high trait anxiety in a few select number of competitions.
