Competitive State Anxiety Inventory–2R (CSAI-2R): Adapting and Validating Its Indonesian Version

Abstract

The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI) is claimed to be the most popular measuring instrument used by researchers in revealing competitive anxiety in athletes. However, the research report stated that the instrument had psychometric weaknesses, so the CSAI was revised to CSAI-2R. Currently, there are not many tests on the psychometric properties of the latest version of the CSAI. The aim of this study is to test the CSAI-2R in the Indonesian version. A total of 200 elite Papuan Indonesian athletes (120 males, 80 females) whose mean age was 21.98 years, SD = 5.07 took part in the study. There are three instruments used in the study, namely CSAI-2R, Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2), and Spirituality in Sports Test (SIST). The statistical analysis used Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the internal consistency testing used Cronbach Alpha. The finding shows that the model fits on several parameters including RMSEA = .045, GFI = .919, CFI = .964, TLI = .955, PNFI = .717, and PGFI = .661. The factor loading value of each item ranges from .44 to .83 with squared multiple correlations ranging from .19 to .69. The reliability values range from .61 to .86. Overall, the convergent validity test shows a correlation coefficient value of .722, while the divergent validity test shows that the correlation coefficient value is not significant (r = -.120). The conclusion of this study is that the Indonesian version of the psychometric property of the CSAI-2R is a valid and reliable competitive anxiety measurement instrument for measuring athlete anxiety.
