Abstract
The study aims to validate the Malay-language version of the Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2R) using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The data were collected from the state level adolescent Malaysian athletes across 21 different sports. A total of 685 athletes participated in the study (males 62%, females 38%), with the mean age of 17.0 (SD = 3.6). A standard forward-backwards translation was performed to translate the 17-items CSAI-2R from the original English version. All the participants filled the CSAI-2R Malay version questionnaire. The results of the initial hypothesised model did not show a good fit to the data (RMSEA = .060, CFI = .848, TLI = .822, SRMR = .048). Subsequent model modifications were made by adding correlation among the items’ residuals within the same factor which resulted in good fit indices (RMSEA = .038, CFI = .940, TLI = .926, SRMR = .035). The final measurement model comprised all 17 items of the Malay language CSAI-2R. The internal consistency coefficients measured by Cronbach’s alpha were .741, .619, and .775 for somatic state anxiety, cognitive state anxiety, and self-confidence. Overall, the results indicated that the Malay language CSAI-2R could be used to assess the multidimensional component of the competitive anxiety among adolescent Malaysian state-level athletes.
