The study base of this research consists of 290 students (79 female, 211 male) taking the aforementioned tests. This study uses the State Sport-Confidence Scale developed by Vealey (1986) and translated to Turkish by Engur and co. (2005) and the State Anxiety Inventory developed by Spielberger and co. (1970) and translated to Turkish by Öner and Le Compte (1983). During the analysis of the collected data, using the one-way variance analysis, T-test and Pearson correlation technique, the significance level was determined as .05. The analysis of data revealed a significant difference in sport-confidence scores amongst different branches of sports.

Anxiety is an inevitable part of life in contemporary society. Anxiety corrupts a person's ability to think, perceive and learn. A person suffering from anxiety usually experiences difficulties in concentrating, remembering the learned material and establishing what the necessary relations among events or people are. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the main anxiety items of the students of two faculties. Factor analysis was performed to form groups of unrelated items by gathering related items in the scale and to the rank factors affecting anxiety by their importance. In accordance with the data obtained from the studies on the anxiety of engineering and medical students, factor analyses gave the following results for state anxiety: in engineering students there were units accumulated in 5 factors, in medical students there were units accumulated in 4 factors, and for trait anxiety they were in 6 factors for both. Our studies show that even if the STAI results are similar, factor analyses should be carried out and the solutions should be sought in accordance with the results. During education in the universities, causes of (state - trait) anxiety should be investigated and curriculums should be changed in order to lessen anxiety, psychological and social support units should be established and students should be prepared for the future.
