Stress and anxiety can affect ability of making right decisions negatively in athletes’ attitude. An athlete, who is under anxiety and stress, is unable to make right decisions and to perform his/her ability however S/he desires. Athletes, who are under extreme pressure, might have inappropriate behaviors. The purpose of this research is to compare elite wrestlers’ state of anxiety before-after weighing. A state of anxiety inventory developed by Spielberg and adapted to Turkishby Ömer and Le Compte has been used in order to detect wrestlers’ state of anxiety before-after weighing. Samples of this study consist of 40 elite wrestlers who attended Young wrestlers’ Turkey Championship in 2012. 95 wrestlers were met and 40 wrestlers out of these were decided to be in this research. SPSS 20 package software has been used for the analysis of data. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test has been used in order to have whether data had a normal distribution or not. Therefore, it has been found that data has had a normal distribution. Later on, Anova-Homogenety of variance test has been used in order to evaluate whether data has not had a homogeneous. After that, it has been found that data has had a homogeneous result. After the first examination; parametric test technique has been decided to be used in the statistical analysis of examined data. Diagnostic statistic and co-sample t test has been used. On the consequence of these analyses, the wrestlers’ state of anxiety before weighing has been higher than the state of anxiety that wrestlers have after weighing. As a consequence of comparison of wrestlers’ pre-weighing and post-weighing state of anxiety points on, a reasonable difference has been found statistically (p},author={Ünsal TAZEGÜL},year={2016},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
