contents Self-compassion to decrease performance anxiety in climbers: A randomized control trial Philipp Röthlin Romaine Leiggener Salud In climbing, anxiety may impair performance. Using an evolutionary approach, we hypothesized that athletes who treat themselves with self-compassion activate their contentment and soothing system and thus reduce their performance anxiety. A two-week randomized control trial was used to investigate the effect of self-compassion on somatic and cognitive anxiety. We compared two groups (intervention and waiting list) on two dates. Sixty climbers (.age = 27.95, SD age = 8.57) completed the pre- and post-assessment. The intervention consisted of a psychoeducational leaflet and five self-compassionate writing tasks. In the posttest, the self-compassion intervention group showed increased self-compassion (F = 4.33, . = .04, η.. = 0.07) and decreased somatic performance anxiety (F = 6.24, . = .02, η.. = 0.10) compared to the waiting list control group. We found no changes in cognitive performance anxiety. The results suggest that self-compassion could be considered as a possible intervention to reduce physical symptoms of performance anxiety. 2021 artículo científico 2414-6641 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=677871911004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6778/677871911004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6778/677871911004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6778/677871911004/677871911004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6778/677871911004/movil https://doi.org/10.36950/2021ciss004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6778 Current Issues in Sport Science application/pdf Universität Bern Current Issues in Sport Science (Suiza) Vol.6
