Abstract
The present paper aims to examine the effect of self-control feedback and trait anxiety on learning the motor skill of throwing dart in high school boy students. Accordingly, 80 subjects were selected by convenience sampling method. Spielberger state-trait Anxiety Inventory (1983) was used to collect data. The subjects were divided into two anxiety groups (low-high) based on the questionnaire results and two groups (self-control; paired) based on type of feedback. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis test. The findings of learning stage were different in terms of anxiety and feedback. The subjects of self-control feedback group with low trait anxiety exhibited better performance than other groups. It seems that consideration of trait anxiety level bears special importance at the time of providing self-control feedback. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct further studies in this area.
