  • Description: The main aim of this study was to examine affective linkages between competition‐related and competition‐extraneous concern domains. A secondary purpose was to establish the contributions of pre‐competition affects to post‐competition performance appraisals, independent of pre‐competition performance expectations. Thirty‐nine highly skilled male martial artists were assessed at five random times a day for a week and 1 h before a major competition on affective states and sources of concern. They also reported their performance expectations and post‐competition performance appraisals. Affective states triggered by competition‐related and competition‐extraneous concerns persisted in time. Carry‐over effects were stronger after reports of competition‐related concerns, emphasizing the subjective importance of the competitive event. Although positive (enjoyment and surprise) and negative (sadness and guilt) affective spill‐over was observed from competition‐extraneous to competition‐related concerns, the reverse held true only for disgust. These findings may be due to the athletes' ability to regulate affective reactions within a sporting setting, in particular. Spill‐over from competition‐extraneous to competition‐related concerns is indicative of a lesser degree of control over work/study and family life. Given that average weekly negative affects and anger/disgust were independent predictors of post‐competition performance appraisals, the phenomenon of spill‐over and other affective linkage mechanisms in sport warrant further investigation.
