State and trait anxiety levels in elite Spanish women basketball players were investigated and possible differences in sources of anxiety identified, comparing National Team and First Division players. 84 players participated (13 National Team members, 71 First Division players). A quantitative/qualitative design was used. Results indicated that National Team members had lower State and Trait Anxiety scores than did the First Division players and both groups had lower scores than established population norms. Playing time was significantly related to State and Trait Anxiety for both groups of players and those who had more minutes of playing time had lower scores. Qualitative analyses indicated that the primary sources of anxiety reported by these athletes related to personal issues pertaining to feeling physically and mentally unprepared for practice and games.
研究了西班牙优秀女子篮球运动员的状态和特质焦虑水平，并比较了国家队和甲级队球员，以确定焦虑的来源差异。共有 84 名运动员参加（13 名国家队队员，71 名甲级队队员）。采用定量/定性设计。结果表明，国家队队员的状态和特质焦虑得分低于甲级队队员，两组的得分均低于既定的人群常模。上场时间与两组运动员的状态和特质焦虑显著相关，上场时间较长的运动员得分较低。定性分析表明，这些运动员报告的主要焦虑来源与个人问题有关，他们感到身体和精神上对训练和比赛没有准备好。
