Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI) Test
This measure assesses coping-related skills relevant to managing sport-related stress and performance demands. The Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI) is a brief self-report questionnaire intended to characterize how an athlete typically responds to pressure and challenge.
It consists of 28 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Item responses are used to summarize patterns across coping domains commonly linked to behavioral, emotional, and cognitive regulation in sport contexts (e.g., confidence, concentration, emotional control, and adaptation to change). The Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI) was developed by Frank L. Smoll, Sean P. Cumming, and Ronald E. Smith and is commonly used to inform case formulation, guide skills-focused intervention planning, and monitor change over time in training, competition, or rehabilitation settings.
