With the aim of validating the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory on a population of young Croatian volleyball players, 286 examinees, 106 male and 180 female volleyball players (average age of 16.09+/-1.83), filled out the CSAI-2, constructed by Martens, Vealey, Burton, Bump and Smith (1990)1. Given the fact that all scales of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory have good homogeneity, reliability and sensitivity, it can be concluded that they represent high-quality measuring instruments for measuring psychological characteristics of young volleyball players. Young male and female volleyball players generally have a moderate level of self-confidence, and their cognitive anxiety is more prominent that somatic anxiety. In order to determine the age and gender differences in somatic and cognitive anxiety and self-confidence, parametric analysis of differences was performed and coefficients of the independent samples t-test were calculated. By analysis of differences according to age, it has been established that female junior players, in relation to female youth players, express a significantly lower level of somatic and cognitive anxiety and a significantly higher level of self-confidence. As opposed to female players, male youth and junior players do not differ in any of the analysed variables. By analysis of differences according to gender, it has been established that male youth players have a significantly higher level of self-confidence in comparison to female youth players. No significant differences were found in the level of competitive anxiety and self-confidence by analysis of variance between different player roles. No significant differences were found by discriminant analysis in somatic and cognitive anxiety, and self-confidence of female volleyball players of different situational efficacy. The group of least efficient male volleyball players is characterized by a very low level of self-confidence, while the most efficient group of volleyball players is characterized by a somewhat lower level of cognitive and somatic anxiety.
为了在克罗地亚年轻排球运动员群体中验证竞争状态焦虑量表，286名受试者（106名男排球运动员和180名女排球运动员，平均年龄16.09±1.83岁）填写了由马滕斯、维利、伯顿、邦普和史密斯（1990年）编制的CSAI - 2量表。鉴于竞争状态焦虑量表的所有分量表均具有良好的同质性、信度和敏感性，可以得出结论，它们是测量年轻排球运动员心理特征的高质量测量工具。年轻男女排球运动员总体上自信心处于中等水平，且他们的认知焦虑比躯体焦虑更为突出。为了确定躯体焦虑、认知焦虑和自信心方面的年龄及性别差异，进行了差异的参数分析并计算了独立样本t检验的系数。通过按年龄进行差异分析，已确定与女青年运动员相比，女少年运动员表现出显著更低水平的躯体和认知焦虑以及显著更高水平的自信心。与女运动员不同，男青年和少年运动员在任何分析变量上均无差异。通过按性别进行差异分析，已确定男青年运动员与女青年运动员相比具有显著更高水平的自信心。通过对不同运动员角色之间的方差分析，未发现竞争焦虑水平和自信心方面的显著差异。通过判别分析，未发现不同情境效能的女排球运动员在躯体和认知焦虑以及自信心方面存在显著差异。效率最低的男排球运动员组的特点是自信心水平极低，而效率最高的排球运动员组的特点是认知和躯体焦虑水平略低。
