Abstract

Every sport requires players to practice constantly to develop skills and the zeal to become a perfect player increases based on the players’ anxiety-performance level. This makes humor styles of players a significant counterweight to the severity associated with anxiety-performance in basketball learning practices. As a result, the study aimed to examine the effect of players’ humor styles on anxiety performance in learning practices. A quantitative research method was used and questionnaire was distributed to the participants with 201 data was collected. Data collected were analyzed using correlational and factors covariance analyses. The results indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between players’ humor styles and anxiety-related performance in learning physical practices. This suggests that humor styles can counterbalance the severity of anxiety-related performance in basketball learning practices. Overall, this study provides insight into how sports psychologists can identify optimal humor styles for players’ worry, somatic, and concentration disruption anxiety performance. Thus, this study presented both the theoretical and educational implications.
