The research purposes were determined the correlation between athlete’s perceived stress and self-esteem before the competition with the achievement of medals for pencak silat athletes at the 2022 Sea Games competition and shown differences in perceived stress and self-esteem for pencak silat athletes based on their medals. A quantitative research with a survey design was conducted on 21 medal-winning athletes at the 2022 Sea Games competition. Participants completed the PSS-10 (Perceived Stress Scale) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale before competition. Multiple linear regression analysis and one-way ANOVA were carried out in this research with the help of SPSS 17.

Perceived stress shown a negative correlation with contributions of 20.57%, while self-esteem shown a positive correlation with contributions of 38.54%. The results of the one-way ANOVA test showed that there were differences in perceived stress and selfesteem in the three medalist groups (Fcount = 3.696, p-value = 0.045 for perceived stress and Fcount = 8.078, p-value = 0.003 for self-esteem). Athletes who win gold medals shown lower stress and higher self-esteem compared to athletes who win silver and bronze medals.
