A total of 400 male football players aged between 18 and 22 years were selected using a stratified random sampling technique, with equal representation from each region. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), developed by Aaron T. Beck et al. (1988), was used to measure anxiety levels.</span></p> <p><span>The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, including One-Way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post-hoc test. The results revealed significant differences in anxiety levels among the four groups. Players from the plains region showed the highest level of anxiety, followed by sea-level players, while coastal and hilly region players exhibited comparatively lower anxiety levels. The ANOVA results indicated a statistically significant difference (F = 160.93, p < 0.05), and a large effect size suggested that geographical factors strongly influence anxiety levels.</span></p> <p><span>The findings of the study highlight the importance of environmental and socio-cultural factors in shaping psychological characteristics among adolescent athletes. It is concluded that anxiety varies significantly across regions, and appropriate psychological interventions are necessary to enhance performance and well-being.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Keywords</span></strong><span>: Anxiety, Adolescent Football Players, Geographical Regions, West Bengal, Sports Psychology, STAI, Performance</span></p> <p><strong><em> </em></strong></p> <p><strong><em> </em></strong></p> <p><span> </span></p> </td> <td style="height: 49.5pt;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 23.85pt;"> <td style="height: 23.85pt;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 23.85pt;"> <td style="height: 23.85pt;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 20.85pt;"> <td style="height: 20.85pt;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 27.85pt;"> <td style="height: 27.85pt;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 27.85pt;"> <td style="height: 27.85pt;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 27.85pt;"> <td style="height: 27.85pt;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 27.85pt;"> <td style="height: 27.85pt;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 27.85pt;"> <td style="height: 27.85pt;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 107.85pt;"> <td style="height: 107.85pt;"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p>
