A Brief Note On The Relationship Between Anxiety And Performance In Scuba Diving In Adolescents:A Field Study
              Summary .— This study explored the relationship between anxiety and scuba diving performance of young individuals ( N = 44; 16.9 yr., SD = 1.2) participating in an introductory scuba diving activity. The question was whether the well-known
negative correlation between anxiety and scuba diving performance found for experienced and middle-aged scuba divers will be observed in young participants in their fi rst dive experience. Diving instructors rated standardized scuba diving skills that were correlated with individual state and trait anxiety. There was no relationship between anxiety and scuba diving performance, neither for state nor for trait anxiety. This non-signifi cant correlation between anxiety and performance was in contrast to recent fi ndings observed for experienced divers or those who participated
at a scuba diving training program. Considering the diff erences in methodological design between this study and recent investigations, further research is needed to reveal possible relations between anxiety, scuba diving performance, and
panic behavior in beginner-level youth or adults.
