This study aimed to test the effect of mental imagery training on the competitive anxiety of karate Kumite athletes. One of the benefits of mental imagery is that it can improve the athlete's ability to control psychological symptoms such as anxiety. So that athletes can show their best performance during the game. This research used quantitative methods with an experimental approach, the pretest-posttest control and an experimental group design. The population used West Java regional karate athletes, totalling 42 athletes. Using purposive sampling techniques, the samples consisted of 15 Bandung Karate Club Kumite athletes and 15 Kei Shin Kan Kumite athletes. Data were obtained using The Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale. Based on the results of the data analysis obtained, the average experimental pretest of 25.20 and posttest of 20.00 showed a decrease in the anxiety of Kumite athletes after being given imagery training. In addition, the N-Gain scores in both groups show decreased pressure in Kumite athletes. However, the N-Gain score in the experimental group was lower than the control group (-23.60 < 3.56), and in the t-test on the N-Gain value, the score obtained the Sig. Value (2-tailed) was 0.005 < α = 0.05. So it can be concluded that imagery training affects the competitive anxiety of Kumite athletes, and there are significant differences in effectiveness in applying imagery training with conventional exercises

Atlet disabilitas memiliki kesempatan yang sama untuk mengembangkan potensi yang dimiliki dan berprestasi pada bidang olahraga. Competitive anxiety pada Atlet disabilitas dapat mempengaruhi performa dalam bertanding sehingga diperlukan mental toughness yang tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat hubungan antara mental toughness dengan competitive anxiety pada atlet disabilitas. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif korelasional. Teknik pengambilan sampel penelitian menggunakan sampling jenuh. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah 69 orang atlet disabilitas NPCI (National Paralympic Committee Indonesia) Jawa Timur. Untuk memperoleh data, digunakan skala mental toughness yang diadaptasi dari Gucciardi et al. (2009) yang terdiri dari 24 item dan skala competitive anxiety yang disusun berdasarkan CSAI-2R dari Martinent et al. (2010) yang terdiri dari 16 item. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji regresi linier dan korelasi product moment dengan bantuan JASP 16.0 for windows. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan negatif antara mental toughness dengan competitive anxiety secara signifikan dengan p value 0,018 (p 0.267). Sehingga semakin tinggi mental toughness yang dimiliki atlet disabilitas dalam menghadapi pertandingan maka semaki rendah tingkat competitive anxiety yang dialami.

The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between mental toughness and competitive anxiety on professional basketball athletes in Indonesia. The participants of this study were professional basketball athletes in Indonesia (N=54). Data were collected using surveys via Google Form. The instrumen of mental toughness was created by the writer. The instrument of competitive anxiety was Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2). Data were analysed using Pearson Product-Moment. The result shows there is a negative correlation between mental toughness and cognitive anxiety (r(54)=-0,586; p=0,000) & mental toughness and somatic anxiety (r(54)=-0,615; p=0,000). There is a positive correlation between mental toughness and self-confidence (r(54) = 0,493; p = 0,000). In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between mental toughness and all three subscales of competitive anxiety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study is to examine whether mental toughness can predict competitive anxiety through the motivation and competitive experience possessed by athletes. Respondents involved were 175 athletes who were students (93 female and 82 male). Path analysis reports that there are direct and indirect effects of the measured variable. Our results show the influence of mental toughness on competitive anxiety. However, the influence of exerted is a positive effect that if athletes have good mental toughness, then their competitive anxiety increases as well. Researchers suspect that there are other constructs that accompany mental toughness in influencing competitive anxiety in athletes. The mediation model also shows that athletes who have high motivation and competitive experience significantly mediate the influence between mental toughness and athlete’s competitive anxiety. Concluded that mental toughness, motivation, competitive experience, have a reciprocal relationship from competitive anxiety. In addition, the results of this study also reported that mental toughness, motivation, and competitive experience are able to predict competitive anxiety.

Atlet yang mengalami competitive anxiety tidak dapat memberikan performa yang optimal dalam bertanding, sehingga harus memiliki mental yang kuat atau mental toughness agar dapat menghadapi segala keadaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah terdapat pengaruh mental toughness terhadap competitive anxiety pada atlet karate UNM. Hipotesis dalam penelitian ini yaitu terdapat pengaruh negatif mental toughness terhadap competitive anxiety atlet karate UNM. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian kuantitatif. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 53 atlet karate. Alat ukur yang digunakan yaitu skala mental toughness dan skala competitive anxiety, yang dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis regresi linear sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh positif antara mental toughness terhadap competitive anxiety pada atlet karate Universitas Negeri Makasar (R = 0,729; p = 0,000). Penelitian ini mendapatkan hasil yang berbeda dari literatur sebelumnya. Peneliti menganggap adanya faktor lain, yaitu pengalaman bertanding yang mengganggu mental toughness atlet sehingga tidak dapat berpengaruh negatif terhadap competitive anxiety.
