Their means are almost identical to those of the other hundred and thirty-nine: 61.8 against 60.5 for state anxiety, how anxious someone feels in the moment, and 40.8 against 41.0 for trait anxiety, how anxious they tend to be in general. It is the only comparison of its kind in the registry's bibliography, and it says less than it appears to for two reasons. With seventeen archers in one group a moderate difference can go unnoticed, and a null result says that the study did not see one, not that there is none. Nor does the paper say when the questionnaires were filled in, or whether it was during the competition, which for state anxiety is decisive. What remains is a descriptive finding: in that sample mean state anxiety was around 61 on a scale from 20 to 80, above the midpoint of the scale for everyone, and being on the national team did not lower it. It comes from a single cross-sectional study, published in a journal with questionable editorial standards, so the registry reports it but does not use it to decide the status, which remains not studied.claim:ansia-arcieri-nazionale:revision:2026-09-22:2Tue, 22 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/competition-anxiety-national-team-archersclaim:ansia-arcieri-nazionale:new_claim:2026-08-06:non_studiatoThu, 06 Aug 2026 08:00:00 GMT
