Persons and Non-Sports Persons. For the purpose of the study, total 300 subjects will be
selected in two groups i.e. 150 in sports persons (Individual Games-50, Combative
Games-50, Team Games-50) and 150 Non-sports Persons i.e. (I.T.-50, A.G.-50, B.Sc.-
50) were selected randomly on the basis of stratified random sampling. The subjects
were selected from Banaras Hindu University and Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith
respectively. (Subjects of Institute of Technology (I.T) were selected from Banaras Hindu
University only.) The age level of the subjects ranged from 18 to 25 years. Keeping the
feasibility criterion in mind, the Anxiety variable was selected for the present study.
Anxiety (State/Trait Anxiety) was assessed with the help of State Trait Anxiety Inventory
(STAI) developed by Charles D. Spielberger, Richard L. Gorusch, and Robert E.
Lushene. To assess and compare the level of Anxiety between sports persons and nonsports
persons, Descriptive Statistics i.e. mean, standard deviation, t test, analysis of
variance (ANOVA) were used. The level of significance was set as 0.05 level. Significant
difference was found between sports persons and non-sports persons in relation to
Anxiety. Anxiety of Non-Sports Persons was found to be more than that of the Sports
Persons. Significant difference was found among Individual, Team and Combative
Game Players in relation to Anxiety. The observed sequence of performance was found
Team > Combative > Individual in relation to Anxiety. Insignificant difference was found
among I.T, A.G and B.Sc. Students in relation to Anxiety. | | Keywords : | | - non-sports persons
