How do you score the CSAI-2R? - Answers

The CSAI-2R (Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Revised) is scored by summing the responses to its items, which typically use a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 4. The inventory measures three dimensions: cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and self-confidence, with higher scores indicating greater levels of anxiety or lower self-confidence. Each dimension is calculated separately by aggregating the scores for the relevant items. Finally, the scores can be interpreted to assess an athlete's anxiety levels in competitive situations, guiding potential interventions or training adjustments.
