Q

Spence and Spence (1968)

A

P = f(H x D)
Performance is a function of athletes habit and athletes drive

31
Q

Drive reduction

A

Drive reduces when athlete loses motivation (completed task)

32
Q

Habitual

A

Athlete thinks they're performing their best and no need to be driven

33
Q

Inverted U theory (Yerkes & Dodson 1908)

A

as arousal increases,so does performance, but only to an optimum level. Past that moderate level, performance declines.

34
Q

Types of activities

A

Fine skills:low arousal lvl for optimum performance
Gross skills: fairly high

35
Q

Skill levels

A

Advanced performers can cope with high arousal lvls
Novices require low arousal levels

36
Q

Personality

A

Extroverts can cope in high arousal levels, introverts in low

37
Q

Catastrophe theory (Faze & Hardy’s 1988)

A

as arousal increases, so does our anxiety, and this can cause a dramatic decline in performance
increases in levels of cognitive anxiety can improve performance as long as somatic anxiety is low.

38
Q

Peak flow experience

A

optimum performance levels with a particular emotional response

39
Q

Reticular activating system

A

RAS is the central core of the brainstem and maintains our levels of arousal. It can enhance or inhibit incoming sensory stimuli.

40
Q

Eysenck (1970)

A

extroverts seeks high arousal situations as their RAS lacks stimulating, whereas introverts dislike high arousal situations as their RAS is already stimulated. ( U theory)

41
Q

Competitive anxiety

A

Athletes could ignore the feeling, fing it threatening or depend on situation

42
Q

The Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT)

A

Measures personality and situational factors related to anxiety. Anxiety doesn't only increase directly before competition but somatic is low.

43
Q

Zone of optimal functioning

A

Ur relaxed, confident, focused, ur activity is effortless, the movements automatic, it's fun and in control

44
Q

A

paying attention to the present moment (&relevant cues) instead of stressing over the past or future.

Q

Q

Instinct theory of aggression - Lorenz (1966)

A

animalistic instinct to display aggression followed through the evolution of the human race. We need to let off steam

49
Q

Frustration-aggression hypothesis - Dollard (1939)

A

when a human becomes frustrated then this will always lead to aggression
reinforces and increases the frustration. Drive to a goal ->Obstacle to a goal >Frustration >Aggression> Success> Catharsis or Punishment> frustration > aggression (cycle)

50
Q

Catharsis

A

is the release of frustration which leads to a feeling of well-being.

51
Q

Aggressive cue hypothesis - Berkowitz (1974)

A

Frustration increases arousal level and then readiness for aggression. For the act to occur a stimuli must b present that triggers them.

52
Q

Social learning theory - Bandura (1977)

A

we learn by observing and copying the behaviour of others (S/O's)

53
Q

Eliminating aggressive tendencies within sport

A

Control arousal level, avoid situations , remove aggressive player, reinforce non aggressive acts &, role models, punish aggression, peer pressure for non aggression, gv player a responsible position to see the seriousness

54
Q

Social facilitation

A

the positive influence of others, who may be watching or competing, on sports performance.
Spectators = audience
Other performers = coactors

55
Q

Social inhibition

A

the negative influence of others, who may be watching or competing, which leads to a decrease in sports performance.

56
Q

Social facilitation- zajonc

A

Presence of audience increases arousal levels> dominant response occurs (expert vs novice)

57
Q

Effects on performance - personality factors

A

Type A + Introverts high trait anxiety/shyness=inhibition
Type B + Extroverts low trait anxiety/seek arousal=facilitation

58
Q

Effects on performance - levels of experience

A

Having failed onstage before vs used to it= inhibition vs facilitation
Novices vs experts
Crowds knowledge / empathy
Performing Infront of familiar people

59
Q

Effects on performance - types of skill

A

Simple & gross skîlls vs complex & fine skills= facilitation vs inhibition

60
Q

Cottrell (1968)- evaluation apprehension

the presence of others had a calming effect, rather than raising anxiety.
arousal levels only increased when the others present were evaluating the performance

61

66
Q

Carron (1980)

A

Group integration - how the individual members of the group feel about the group as a whole. Individual attraction to the group - how attracted they are to the group

67
Q

Steiner’s model of group effectiveness

A

Actual productivity = Potential productivity- losses due to faulty processes
Losses caused by: coordination and motivation problems

68
Q

The Ringelmann effect

A

The more ppl are on the task the less the individuals performance was

69
Q

Latane (1979) Social loafing

A

when some individuals in a group lose motivation, apparently caused by the individual losing identity when placed in a group

70
Q

Goal setting

A

Attentional focus, persistence on task, raising confidence, control of arousal and anxiety, monitor performance

71
Q

SMART goal setting

A

Specific, measurable, achievable, recorded, time phased

72
Q

Outcome goals

A

Goals that are targets directed towards and What are they? end result of the

73
Q

Performance goals

A

Goals that are directed towards the individuals end performance.

74
Q

Process goals
