In the field of sports psychology, anxiety has often been construed as contributing to poor athletic performance. In recent years, researchers have found that whether athletes interpret anxiety to be facilitative or debilitative was more predictive of performance outcomes. In addition, self-compassion and mental toughness are two explanatory variables that may interact in predicting levels of facilitative anxiety in competition. What is less clear is how these two variables relate to each other in predicting more positive interpretations of anxiety. Therefore, the current study aims to (1) identify the active subcomponent of self-compassion in predicting facilitative anxiety and to (2) test an explanatory model of the interplay between self-compassion and mental toughness in predicting facilitative anxiety. It was hypothesized that mindfulness is likely the active ingredient in self-compassion that predicts facilitative anxiety. Mindfulness did not emerge as a significant predictor of facilitative anxiety. Moreover, it was hypothesized that mental toughness and self-compassion may interact to potentiate each other's effect on an athlete's interpretation of anxiety before a competition. A moderation model was tested in which the relationship between mental toughness and facilitative anxiety will be stronger among athletes who have higher self-compassion. Findings were mixed with one model trending towards supporting the interaction hypothesis, depending on the measure of facilitative anxiety used. Mental toughness also emerged in one model as having a main effect on levels of facilitative anxiety.
