Marten's Multidimensional Anxiety Theory:
Marten's Multidimensional Anxiety Theory posits that anxiety consists of two components: cognitive anxiety (worry and negative thoughts) and somatic anxiety (physiological arousal). The theory emphasizes that optimal performance occurs when an individual maintains an optimal balance between these components. High cognitive anxiety can be detrimental, but when coupled with high somatic anxiety, performance may improve due to increased arousal. Understanding and managing both cognitive and somatic aspects of anxiety are crucial for enhancing performance in various situations, such as sports or academic settings, according to Marten's theory.
