The purpose of this study was to investigate differences, between swimmer-lifeguards and swimmer-non-lifeguards, in trait and state anxiety and emotion regulation techniques in a real-life precompetitive situation with a secondary focus on gender differences. The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Sport Anxiety Scale – 2 and the Mental Readiness Form – 3 were distributed to 100 participants at university swimming competitions in the United Kingdom. Swimmer-lifeguards displayed significantly lower cognitive (p=.03) and somatic state (p=.05) anxiety and cognitive trait anxiety (p=.02) than swimmer-non-lifeguards. Males reported significantly lower levels of cognitive and somatic trait anxiety (ppp=.01); no other effects were observed. These results support previous research regarding lifeguard characteristics, however the nature of these qualities and how they originate require further exploration.

Abstract Previous research suggests that people who stutter (PWS) tend to have heightened general anxiety (i.e., trait anxiety) and situational anxiety (i.e., state anxiety) compared to people who do not stutter (PWDS). Most research with anxiety and stuttering utilizes self-perception scales; however, few studies have looked at anxiety over time. The current study examined self-reported state and trait anxiety in PWS and PWDS over six weeks, along with an investigation of the effects of audio-recording on anxiety. Results indicated no significant group differences in trait (general) anxiety over six weeks; however trends indicated that PWS may have increased trait anxiety compared to PWDS. Furthermore, for both groups, state (situational) anxiety was lower after a recording session compared to before.

State And Trait Anxiety

 Diversos estudios sugieren que la Inteligencia Emocional en deportistas se relaciona con el rendimiento deportivo y, a su vez, éste se ve perjudicado cuando los deportistas experimentan emociones negativas (e.g, ansiedad) que no son gestionadas adecuadamente. Sin embargo, se necesitan estudios que analicen si esta relación ocurre en todos los niveles deportivos. El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar si existen diferencias en la inteligencia emocional (IE) y los niveles de ansiedad rasgo y estado (A/R y A/E) de jugadores de fútbol sala en función de su nivel deportivo. Para ello, se contó con una muestra de 48 jugadores de fútbol sala de todas las categorías juveniles a los que se les administró los cuestionarios TMMS-24 y STAI. Los resultados obtenidos muestran diferencias significativas en Atención Emocional (AE), A/R y A/E entre los diferentes niveles deportivos. Además, los niveles de A/R se relacionaron con todas las dimensiones de IE, mientras que la A/E únicamente se relacionó con la dimensión de AE. Abstract. Different studies propose that emotional intelligence in athletes is related to sports performance. Thus, sports performance is affected when athletes experience negative emotions (i.e. anxiety) that does not manage adequately. However, more studies are needed to analyze these relationships along with every sports level. This study aimed to analyze the differences between emotional intelligence and state and trait anxiety of futsal players according to their sports level. The sample was 48 futsal players from every junior category that answered TMMS-24 and STAI questionnaires. The results showed significant differences between emotional attention, trait and state anxiety on the different sports level. Moreover, the levels of trait anxiety were related to every emotional intelligence dimensions. State anxiety had a relationship with emotional attention.

State And Trait Anxiety

The purpose of the research was to establish the relation between incompetence as a global self-concept and state and trait anxiety, as well as to confirm once more the metric characteristics of the EMAS-T and EMAS-S scales for measuring trait and state anxiety. The research was carried out on freshman at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar twice in the the period of two months (the neutral situation and the situation of taking exams).The results confirmed the two-factor structure of the EMAS-S scale (the cognitive-worry factor and the autonomic-emotional factor) and its high inner consistency. The expected one-factor structure of the subscale of the social evaluation of the EMAS-T scale did not show so that the results were interpreted according to some earlier research projects in which this scale had been applied (Sorić. 1995; Cvenić. 1995; Knežević. 1995; Gregov and associates 1995).In the situation of taking exams the most significant predictor of experienced state anxiety turned out to be the dimension of the social evaluation of trait anxiety, while self incompetence was on the borderline of significance. The results obtained during the research project generally support Endler’s interactive model of anxiety.

The Impact

The purpose of this research was to explore the association between state and trait anxiety experienced by patients who had undergone traumatic amputation and their family caregivers. The sample studied consisted of 50 hospitalized patients who had undergone traumatic amputation and 50 family caregivers. The collected data included patients’ and caregivers’ characteristics and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory scores. Fifty percent of patients and caregivers scored below 50 and 47, respectively (median), in trait anxiety. In terms of state anxiety, at least 50% of patients and caregivers scored below 56 and 50.5, respectively. These values indicate moderate to high levels of the impact of amputation on the trait and state anxiety of amputees and their caregivers. A positive linear correlation was found between the trait and state anxiety of the patients as well as between the trait and state anxiety of caregivers, as expected (ρ = 0.915, P < .001, and ρ = 0.920, P < .001, respectively). A statistically significant positive correlation was also observed between state patient anxiety and state anxiety of caregivers (ρ = 0.239 and P = .039) and between trait patient anxiety and trait anxiety of caregivers (ρ = 0.322 and P = .030). More specifically, as the patient’s anxiety score (either trait temporary) increases, the score of the caregivers’ anxiety increases and vice versa. Nurses should be aware of the association between anxiety of amputees and caregivers and, therefore, work in multidisciplinary teams to maximize clinical outcomes for patients after amputation and their families.

A pathological increase in vigilance, or hypervigilance, may be related to pain intensity in some clinical pain syndromes and may result from attention bias to salient stimuli mediated by anxiety. During a continuous performance task where subjects discriminated painful target stimuli from painful nontargets, we measured detected targets (hits), nondetected targets (misses), nondetected nontargets (correct rejections), and detected nontargets (false alarms). Using signal detection theory, we calculated response bias, the tendency to endorse a stimulus as a target, and discriminability, the ability to discriminate a target from nontarget. Due to the relatively slow rate of stimulus presentation our primary hypothesis was that sustained performance would result in a more conservative response bias reflecting a lower response rate over time on task. We found a more conservative response bias with time on task and no change in discriminability. We predicted that greater state and trait anxiety would lead to a more liberal response bias. A multivariable model provided partial support for our prediction; high trait anxiety related to a more conservative response bias (lower response rate), while high state anxiety related to a more liberal bias. This inverse relationship of state and trait anxiety is consistent with reports of effects of state and trait anxiety on reaction times to threatening stimuli. In sum, we report that sustained attention to painful stimuli was associated with a decrease in the tendency of the subject to respond to any stimulus over time on task, while the ability to discriminate target from nontarget is unchanged.

We aim to evaluate the anxiety levels of caregivers of children with tracheostomy during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. Caregivers of 31 children with tracheostomy and 105 healthy children (control group) were included. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was administered via teleconference in order to investigate how participants describe how they feel at a particular moment (State) and how they generally feel (Trait). The trait anxiety levels of caregivers of children with tracheostomy were significantly higher ( P = .02). Their state anxiety levels were similar. The state and trait anxiety levels of caregivers of children with tracheostomy correlated ( r = 0.70, P < .001). At the end of the teleconference, caregivers of children with tracheostomy experienced greater anxiety relief than controls ( P < .001). Trait anxiety scores were higher among caregivers of children with tracheostomy, but their state anxiety levels were comparable to those of controls. Caregivers with high trait anxiety also exhibited high state anxiety. Informing caregivers of children with tracheostomy about COVID-19 via teleconference can reduce their anxiety during such stressful times.

The present study assessed the test-retest scores of a Dutch version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory before and after surgery. The State and Trait-Anxiety scales of a Dutch version were administered to 159 surgical patients on the day before the operation and again three days later. After surgery, a significant decrease was found in State Anxiety and anxiety assessed by the two subscales within this scale, i.e., State Anxiety present and State Anxiety absent. Trait anxiety decreased only slightly.

To achieve deep relaxation in seriously ill persons, Tibetan medicine has employed a breathing process, known as “comeditation,” which requires a caregiver to focus attention on the chest of the reclining patient while making a sound or number keyed to the patient's exhalation. This study investigated the relationship between state and trait anxiety and lowered respiratory rate, using the comeditation procedure. Ten subjects were assigned randomly to either a control or comeditation group. Anxiety was measured on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Analysis indicated a decrease in State-Anxiety scores in the comeditation group, but no differences between groups in pulse and respiration rates or trait anxiety. Implications for theory and research are discussed.
