Abstract

This study provides information on choking under pressure among university athletes during competition. 300 athletes were sampled and rated on a questionnaire on external and internal perceived sources of choking (alpha = .69 and .72). Analysis indicates a significant difference in mean rating on the two choking indices for men and women athletes. The women's means were higher than the men's but the difference was less than 1.00. Means for four sport groups were similar for the Internal subscale but significantly different on the External subscale.
