Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) Test - Symptoms and Signs
Athletes may experience heightened pre-competition arousal that can affect performance in different ways. The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) is a brief self-report measure designed to assess an individual’s current, situation-specific responses in the competitive context. It is typically used to support psychological monitoring and to inform individualized mental skills planning.
The instrument contains 27 items and takes about 5 minutes to complete. It yields scores reflecting cognitive anxiety (worry and performance-related concerns), somatic anxiety (perceived physiological activation), and self-confidence. Results from the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) are commonly interpreted as indicators of the athlete’s immediate competitive state and may be reviewed alongside contextual factors (e.g., event demands, training load) to guide discussion and intervention planning.
