Abstract

Competition tests athletes by demanding peak performance under pressure from both their environment and themselves, aiming for victory. One common challenge they face is Competitive Anxiety, a response to perceived threats in competitive situations, leading to worry or stress (Martens, 1977). The ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet (AARM) is the highest-level competition for Indonesian Army marksmen. This study examines the effectiveness of the Mental Imagery Technique in reducing competitive anxiety among female AARM athletes. This cognitive-based intervention uses mental visualization of past experiences to enhance performance. Using an experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the study involved five participants (n=5), with data analyzed through a Paired T-Test. Results showed a significant reduction in Competitive Anxiety scores post-intervention (Asymp. sig 0.000 < 0.05). N-Gain scores indicated moderate effectiveness for two respondents (-69% and -60%) and high effectiveness for three respondents (>76%). These findings confirm that the Mental Imagery Technique effectively reduces competitive anxiety in female pistol shooters at AARM. This study suggests that mental imagery is a valuable psychological strategy for managing anxiety in high-pressure sports, particularly for female athletes in precision disciplines like shooting.

Abstract

Social media addiction is increasingly prevalent among young adults and may disrupt psychological well-being, emotional regulation, productivity, and daily functioning. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Self-Help Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (SHCBT) in reducing social media addiction among young adults. A quasi-experimental two-group pretest–posttest design was employed with eight participants aged 25–29 years who were selected through purposive sampling and assigned to guided and non-guided SHCBT groups. Social media addiction was measured using the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, while data were analyzed using paired-samples and independent-samples t-tests in SPSS. The guided group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in social media addiction scores between the pretest and posttest (p = 0.016). The most consistent improvements occurred in salience and withdrawal symptoms, indicating reduced cognitive preoccupation and psychological discomfort when social media access was limited. However, the mean N-Gain score was 0.19, indicating a low magnitude of improvement, and the posttest difference between the guided and non-guided groups was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that SHCBT has preliminary potential to improve awareness of maladaptive thoughts and support greater control over social media use. Nevertheless, its comparative effectiveness remains inconclusive because of the small sample size, short intervention period, and absence of follow-up assessments.
