Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess and compare cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and self-confidence among university students. Sixty university students (N=60) who were studying in School of Education, were selected randomly with age ranging between 22-30 years. The selected subjects were divided into two groups, sports (n=30) and non-sports (n=30) depending on playing sports or not playing sports. The data was collected by using the CSAI-2 developed by Martens, Vealey and Burton (1990). The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and independent t-test. The results of the present study revealed that there was a significant difference in cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and self-confidence between sports and non-sports university students. It was concluded that cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety is higher in non-sports university students  than sports university students while self confidence was higher in sports university students than non-sports university students. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
