AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the anxiety and narcissism levels of 
      different performance groups in female handball players. METHODS: A total of 59 
      athletes between the ages of 15 and 37 participated in the study, taking the 
      first 4 places from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus senior women handball 
      1st league in the 2017-2018 season. Wingate peak power (WPP), Wingate average 
      power (WAP), handball agility test (HAST), 10 m speed (10S), 20 m speed (20S), 
      20m shuttle run (SR), hands on waist vertical jump (HEVJ), hands free vertical 
      jumping (HFVJ) test, Beck anxiety scale (BAI), 5-factor narcissism scale-short 
      form (FFNI-SF), and sociodemographic data form were used. The athletes were 
      divided into upper performance (UPG) and lower performance groups (LPG) using the 
      median value according to the results of the physical measurement tests (FST). 
      RESULTS: It was determined that the anxiety level of the participants in the LPG 
      group was higher than that in the UPG group. The narcissism level of the 
      participants in the UPG group was found to be higher than that in the LPG group. 
      The scores of consent seeking, arrogance, leader/authority, insecurity, claiming 
      rights, exhibitionism, carelessness, lack of empathy, and adventurousness were 
      higher than LPG. In the correlation analysis, a positive and low level of 
      relationship between anxiety and 20S and a negative and low level of significant 
      relationship between HEJV were found. It was observed that there was a positive 
      and low level significant relationship between narcissism and WPP, HFJV, and 
      HEJV. It has been revealed that anxiety and narcissism variables have a 
      predictive effect on the physical performance average score. CONCLUSION: The 
      findings suggest that in female handball players, high levels of narcissism may 
      affect the performance positively and high anxiety levels negatively. As a result 
      of this study, it was revealed that anxiety and narcissism have a predictive 
      effect on physical performance average score in women's handball.
