anxiety and self confidence 1 Flashcards
two types of anxiety
somatic and cognitive
somatic anxiety
conditioned response to competition = neurons- muscle contractions - hr - breathing
cognitive anxiety
marked by worry - narrowing perceptual fields - loss pf awareness
three main theories of arousal
drive theory - Hull 1943
catastrophe theory - Hardy 1990
Inverted u hypothesis - Yerkes 1908
multidimensional anxiety theory
author - explanation- how it is measured
Martens 1990
different components of anxiety and performance
cognitive/somatic/self-confidence
measured by competitive state anxiety inventory - 2
what has woodman 2003 found about anxiety performance relationship
anxiety affected males more than females
male: cognitive, medium negative effect on performance where as women only have small
anxiety effects high performance athletes= due to varacility of performance-
lower standard- performance is more variable
what has Jones 1993 found about anxiety performance relationship
worked with gymnasts looking at interpretation of symptoms and intensity and direction for anxiety
higher performers find it beneficial
process efficiency theory
Eysenck 1992
what is the process efficiency theory
anxiety effects processing efficiency, mediated by working memory resources rather than task effectiveness
anxious athletes have to work harder to maintain same level of performance
impairs efficiency more than effectiveness
difference between effectiveness and efficiency
effectiveness - quality of performance
efficiency - performance effort
trait anxiety theory
author and study
Smith 2001
volleyball layers
high anxiety - threat becomes critical to win - performance drops off
put a lot more effort in - even though they did not perform aswell
factors affecting A-P relationship (3)
trait anxiety
ego depletion
perceived pressure
perceived pressure
pijers 2005
identical traverse climb - low pressure vs high pressure
used anxiety thermometer as a measure
found greater climbing time, muscle fatigue, less smooth displacement of COG.
manifest of behaviour effects cognitive/tired/less efficient.
ego depletion
author and study
Englert 2012
basketball free throws/dart throwing
how self control strength and state anxiety interact to predict sport performance participants with depleted self control strength performed worse in specific tasks as their anxiety increased.
when personal resources are depleted = less put into sibsident task
glucose=cortisol=not enough glucose = less efficient at making decisions and precision allocation.
how can ego depletion
increasing self control strength could reduce negative anxiety effects in sports and improve athletes performance under pressure.
attentional control theory
(author and study)
what are the three main effects?
Eynseck 2007
shifting/inhibiting/updating
juggerling a lot of information at the same time - stimulous driven attentional drive = what we choose to look at
what is shifting ?
shifting back and forth between multiple tasks, operations, or mental stress
miyakee 2000
what is Inhibition ?
ones ability to deliberately inhibit dominant, autonomic or proponent responses when necessary
miyakee 2000
what is updating?
updating and monitoring of working memory representations
miyakee 2000
