The purpose of this study was to examine the cognitive, thought, and personality factors that cause competition anxiety in college student archery athletes, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to examine the relationship between these three factors and competition anxiety. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the individual personality traits of emotional instability, changeable mood, and a fixation on success or fear of failure were factors that increased competition anxiety. Meanwhile factors that reduced competition anxiety were associated with the perception that one was successful in situations that resembled past successes. The results indicate that factors that reduce competition anxiety are associated with the perception of succeeding in similar situations in the past.
