Abstract

The aim of the present study was to examine dispositional anxiety sensitivity and positive and negative affectivity as moderators of choking in sport. One hundred high school students (66% were females) completed the Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index (CASI) and the Positive and Neg-ative Affect Schedule for Children and Adolescents (PANASN) prior to completing a badminton set in low-pressure and highpressure conditions A series of ANOVAs supported the hypothesis that anxiety sensitivity, but not positive or negative affectivity, acts as a moderator of the choking ef-fect under psychological pressure; participants with high anxiety sensitivity showed a dramatic drop on sport performance during the high-pressured condition. The present study extends the choking literature including the anxiety sensitivity as a new relevant variable in this field of sport and physi-cal activity psychology.
