Abstract:
The main purpose of the study was to observe the role of gender in sports to evaluate the trait sports confidence of Pakistani elite athletes. Another purpose of the study was to examine and find out whether one psychosocial (self confidence) dimension exerted a stronger influence on gender. The analysis was administered to a sample of 300 (150 males and 150 females) athletes aged 17 to 24 who usually take part in the university/national level sports. Trait Sports Confidence Inventory TSCI. Vealey (1986) has been selected. For data analysis Anova, Post Hoc, Correlations and Regression has been carried out. The values are significant at 0.00 alpha levels. An analysis of the results illustrated that significant difference existed between male and female player s trait sports confidence in Pakistan due to the socioeconomic and socio cultural attitudes and conditions.
