The aim of the present study were to extract the factorial structure of consciousness of stage fright of judoists, and to establish the scale of it.
Ichimura's 50 questionnaire concerning the trait of stage fright were administered to 96 top judoists. Calculated correlation matrix was factored with both exploratory and confirmatory procedures.
Derived factorial structure were not clearly differentiated compared to the results of Ichimura's studies. Moreover, it was found that these items were greatly homogeneous and the dimensionality of its scale was one.
Taking both factorial validity and internal consistency into consideration, the scale constructed with 41 selected items was established by means of modified Short Method. Individual stage fright composite scores were calculated by picking up the scores from the weighted matrix.
It will be useful for coaches to find out the judoists who used to get a stage fright.
