Abstract
Sports competitions are accompanied by many unpleasant and negative emotions e.g.
anxiety. The study aims to search the factorial validity of one of the most influential inventory
in sport psychology i.e. Competitive State Anxiety-2 (CSAI-2) in Pakistani context (i.e. Urdu
version). The English version of tool was converted into Urdu. Urdu version of CSAI-2 was
distributed 30 minutes before the start of the event to a group of randomly selected 310
student athletes between the ages of 19-27 years of different events from Abdul Wali Khan
University Mardan & Peshawar University. A comprehensive statistical analysis was
performed such as item-to-total correlation, EFA and CFA to find out the factorial validity of
the instrument. Based on the results of the current study, a new CSAI-2 (13 items Urdu
version) inventory was developed for measuring intensity dimension of competitive state
anxiety. It is proposed that the investigators may employ CSAI-2 (Urdu) instead of the CSAI2 to measure competitive state anxiety in Pakistani athletes.
