Distorsiones cognitivas y ansiedad competitiva en deportistas de pole dance de alto rendimiento
Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios – UNIMINUTO
El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo identificar los niveles de ansiedad competitiva y las distorsiones cognitivas predominantes en deportistas de pole dance de alto rendimiento, así como establecer la relación entre ambas variables. La investigación se enmarcó en un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo correlacional y diseño no experimental transversal. Para la recolección de datos se utilizaron dos instrumentos: Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2), cuestionario validado que mide la ansiedad competitiva en tres dimensiones, y un cuestionario de elaboración propia para evaluar distorsiones cognitivas adaptadas al contexto deportivo, construido a partir de teorías cognitivas y validado mediante jueces expertos y una prueba piloto. Los resultados preliminares evidencian la presencia significativa de distorsiones cognitivas como el catastrofismo y la sobregeneralización, las cuales se asocian con niveles elevados de ansiedad en contextos competitivos. Se concluye que comprender la interacción entre las cogniciones distorsionadas y la ansiedad competitiva aporta elementos relevantes para la intervención psicológica en el deporte, especialmente en disciplinas emergentes como el pole dance.
Abstract The present study aimed to identify the levels of competitive anxiety and the predominant cognitive distortions in high-performance pole dance athletes, as well as to establish the relationship between both variables. The research was conducted within a quantitative framework, using a correlational approach and a non-experimental cross-sectional design. Two instruments were applied for data collection: the Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2), a validated questionnaire that measures competitive anxiety across three dimensions, and a self-developed questionnaire designed to assess cognitive distortions adapted to the sports context. The latter was constructed based on cognitive theories and validated through expert judgment and a pilot test. Preliminary results reveal a significant presence of cognitive distortions such as catastrophizing and overgeneralization, which are associated with high levels of anxiety in competitive settings. It is concluded that understanding the interaction between distorted cognitions and competitive anxiety provides relevant insights for psychological intervention in sports, particularly in emerging disciplines such as pole dance.
