Abstract

Objective. is study analyses the connection between competitive anxiety and sporting cooperation of racing sailors from the
Balearic Islands (Spain). We used a sample of 46 sailors from the Balearic Islands (Mage = 31.9; SDage = 16.32), from different
levels. Method. e Sport Anxiety Scale (Smith, Smoll, & Schutz, 1990) questionnaire was used to measure the competitive anxiety
and the “Cuestionariode Cooperación Deportiva” (Sporting Cooperation Questionnaire) (García-Mas et al., 2006) was applied
to study cooperation. e data was collected electronically, and a descriptive and correlational analysis was carried out with them.
Results. e statistical analysis showed positive and signicant correlations between conditioned cooperation willingness and all
components of the anxiety variable (Somatic = 0.47, Worry = 0.51, Distraction = 0.52 y Global = 0.59). A positive correlation
was also found between global anxiety and its cognitive components, particularly in the worry anxiety (W = 0.91 y D = 0.84). Conclusion. e main nding of this study was the signicant and positive correlation between the conditioned cooperation and
all components of the competitive anxiety.
