Abstract
The hypothesis was that personality and anxiety were related to football performance as a direct function of stress. To assess this hypothesis, the Cattell 16PF as well as the IPAT Anxiety Battery were administered to the 1965 Utah State University football team. The findings seemed at least partially to validate the hypothesis. In addition, findings replicated previous work indicating that anxiety was the most significant personality dimension related to performance. Thus anxiety seems to have both chronic and acute antecedents. Moreover, better performance seems to be associated with the ability to control the anxiety level as a function of stress.
