Effects of Imagery Training and Self-Talk towards State Anxiety and Archery Performance
Open accessAbstract
This study examined the effects of imagery training and instructional self-talk towards cognitive state anxiety, somatic state anxiety, self-confidence and archery performance of the Sports School Malaysia Pahang (SSMP) athletes in 2019. This study used a quasi-experimental design. The instrument consisted of Sport Imagery Ability Measure Questionnaire (SIAM), Belief in Self-Talk Questionnaire (BSQ) and Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R (CSAI-2R), and archery performance scores were considered as well. A total of 45 participants were randomly distributed into three experimental groups: Imagery (I) (n = 15), Imagery and Self-Talk (IST) (n = 15) and Self-Talk (ST) (n = 15). All groups underwent a six-week intervention of eighteen sessions, three times a week for one hour. Two Way Mixed MANOVA revealed significant differences between the three intervention groups. Imagery and Self-Talk (IST) group had a significant effect on decreasing state anxiety and increasing self-confidence as well as archery performance scores over two-time periods (pre and post-test). Such a result opens the way to the idea that, Imagery and Self-Talk (IST) group showed a better effect than study groups (ST) and (I). Factors that reduce state anxiety, increase self-confidence and archery performance, and explain the acceptance of interventions over one method will produce a more positive effect on participants. Imagery and instructional self-talk intervention can be used as a reference for sports psychology coaches to improve archery performance among athletes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
