Abstract
The present study investigated the differences in psychological outcomes of anxiety and stress between competitive Irish dancers of different levels and different types of Irish dance e.g., solo Irish dance, team Irish dance, or both solo and team Irish dance. Previous research has identified differences in psychological outcomes based on the level and the type of sport the individual engaged in. A total of 149 competitive Irish dancers completed the online questionnaire which measured their anxiety and stress levels using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Self-Report scale (LSAS-SR) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Findings from t-tests, multiple regression analyses and Mann-Whitney U-tests showed no significant differences between Irish dancers at different levels and types on the outcomes of anxiety and stress. Findings contrast with previous studies on the topic which include different sports. Study implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
