Question

It is often difficult to get measures of anxiety during competition of interacting sport teams (e.g., soccer, basketball). Another way to get some information about anxiety states during competition is to use:_______.a. physiological measures like heart rate.

b. retrospective measures.
c. prospective measure.
d. brain waves.
e. none of these.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is B). Retrospective measure

Explanation: A retrospective measure is performed a posteriori, using the information on events that have taken place in the past. A cohort of individuals that share a common exposure factor is compared with another group of equivalent individuals not exposed to that factor, to determine the factor's influence on the incidence of a condition. This way would be another way to assess the anxiety of the sport teams in the competition.
