Because they are based on physical activity and involve group participation, they can positively impact empathy and anxiety. The primary objective of this study is to examine the psychosocial characteristics of individuals who participate in folk dances, with a focus on the relationship between empathy and anxiety. In this context, folk dance will be discussed from various perspectives in relation to empathy and anxiety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study employed the correlational survey model, a quantitative research method. The study included 358 participants interested in folk dances. Data were collected using the Empathic Tendencies Scale and the trait anxiety section of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, a normality test, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A negative, significant, and weak correlation was observed between participants\u2019 trait anxiety and their empathic tendencies. Results from the regression analysis reveal that participants\u2019 empathic tendencies significantly predict their trait anxiety, explaining 10.7% of the total variance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In conclusion, folk dance may be considered a factor associated with individuals\u2019 anxiety and empathy levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1901484","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,5]],"date-time":"2026-08-05T05:42:36Z","timestamp":1785908556000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Relationship between empathic tendencies and trait anxiety among individuals interested in folk dances"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Tuncay","family":"\u00d6ktem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sports Science, Bayburt University","place":["Bayburt, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramazan","family":"Akku\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vocational School, Bayburt University","place":["Bayburt, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00dcmit","family":"\u00d6z","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vocational School of Health Services, Bayburt University","place":["Bayburt, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Umut Diyar","family":"G\u00f6k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bayburt University Faculty of Sports Science","place":["Bayburt, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"359","DOI":"10.60081\/SSHA.3.1.2025.359-367","article-title":"Gender based disparities in anxiety experienced by athletes and their coping mechanisms.","volume":"3","author":"Acharjee","year":"2025","journal-title":"Sports Sci.
