Team sports are often considered to involve affiliation and support. These elements serve to build cohesiveness and cooperation. This support also helps them to deal with stress and also reduces anxiety. Individual sports on the other hand place a lot of stress on the athlete as there is quite a lot of pressure on him/her. The current study was designed to compare stress and anxiety among team sportspersons and individual sportspersons. The sample for the current investigation consisted of 60 participants (where 30 are team sportspersons and 30 are individual sportspersons) in the age group of 18-23 years. For this purpose, Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1983), Stress Symptoms Rating Scale (Heilbrun and Pepe, 1985), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Speilberger et al., 1970) was administered to the sample. The t test was used for statistical analysis of the results in order to compare stress and anxiety in team sportspersons and individual sportspersons. Results will be discussed in terms of its implications.
