Summary:碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 休閒運動研究所 === 103 === This research was to study the pre-competition state anxiety and self-confidence levels of Group A college baseball players and analyze how background/environmental variables could influence and impact on such states. The study was carried out by providing questionnaire to year 2014 Group A baseball players A total of 403 persons tested together with measures of “pre- competition state anxiety scale” and “athlete self-confidence levels scale.” Analyzed via typical single factor MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variance) and Sheffe method. The data showed the following results: First, at the highest competition level, there were no significant differences in pre- competition player anxiety states. Second, the players those who missed the top 3 were higher than“international competition”and“national competition.”Third, at the highest competition level, there were no significant differences in pre- competition player self-confidence levels. Forth, the differences of maximum performance and athlete self-confidence were significant, and the players of national competition were higher than those who missed the top 3.Fifth, there was an moderately negative correlation between “pre-competition anxiety levels” and “athlete self-confidence level” among players, the lower the former, the higher the latter. Discussions are provided in the terms of the findings : the athletic performance made the players pre-competition anxiety levels and self-confidence different. Especially for the better athletic performance, the lower levels were, the higher self-confidence was. And there was a link between the pre-competition anxiety levels and the athlete self-confidence, when the self-confidence increased, the anxiety reaction of players spontaneous performance reduced.
