Q

TPB: research

A
  • TPB has been widely applied in sport and exercise contexts review studies support the relationships outline in this theory
  • attitudes subjective norms and perceived behavioral about exercise control are predictions of intentions
  • subjective norms are the weakest of these 3 predictors of intention
  • intention to engage in physical activity predicts activity behavior approx 1/3 times (intention-behavior gap)
  • support for theory in a variety of populations

Q

self regulation

A

behavior is self directed in that is initiated, monitored, and evaluated by the individual in a way that is consistent with accomplishing goals

26
Q

sources of self efficacy

A
  • past performance: when coaches start off easy, help you do well so you know you will be able to do it
  • varcarious experiences: seeing other people do it makes you think you can do it, more closely related the person is to you the more likely you are to do it
  • social persuasion: people telling you that you can do it, they believe it
  • physiological states: when physiological info tells you, you can/cant do something ex) sweaty, sore, hurt
  • affective: run feels good so you do it again
27
Q

support for social cognitive theory self efficacy variable

A
  • self-efficacy is reliably related to behavior outcomes such as
  • sport performance
  • exercise adherence
  • physical activity among children
28
Q

self-determination theory

A
  • deci and ryan
  • theory of human motivation and development
  • main focus: extent to which behavior is undertaken for reasons that come from within versus outside a person
  • made up of 5 sub-theories: we will focus on two
29
Q

organismic integration theory

A
  • deals with different types of motivation: views motivation as occurring on a continuum from external to internal (self-determined) sources
  • types of motivation
30
Q

three types of intrinsic motivation

A
  1. motivation to learn a new skill
  2. motivation to accomplish
  3. motivation due to sensory pleasure
31
Q

four types of extrinsic motivation

A
  1. external regulation
  2. introjected regulation
  3. identified regulation
  4. intergrated regulation
32
Q

external regulation

A

behaviors that are pursued solely for reward or to avoid punishment, controlled by external contingencies
“i exercise because others think i should”

33
Q

introjected regulation

A

behavior that is pursued due to internal prods and pressures; feeling that one should do something or to avoid guilt “i exercise because i feel guilty if i dont”

34
Q

indentified regulation

A

behavior is personally valuable, though it may not be enjoyable
“i exercise because it is good for my health “

35
Q

intergrated regulation

A

through external motivation still occurs, the behavior is now accepted as valuable and congruent with ones personal value system
“i exercise because i am healthy individual”

36
Q

why should we care about different type of motivation/ regulations

A
  • as motivation becomes more self-determined, positive outcomes are likely to occur:
  • improved well-being (ex: vitailty, less illness, less depression)
  • improved physical health (ex: reduced chronic diseases; more adherence to health behaviors, including exercise)
37
Q

SDT: basic psychological needs theory

A
  • all humans have three basic psychological needs
  • the satisfaction of these needs encourages more self-determined motivation
  • autonomy, competence, relatedness
38
Q

autonomy

A

feeling that one has a choice and is in control of ones behavior (ex: would you rather run this route vs this route, giving choice)

39
Q

competence

A

feeling effective and capable when undertaking challenges (ex: similar to self-efficacy, realistic goals)

40
Q

relatedness

A

feeling meaningful connections with others in environments such as exercise (ex: breaking team into groups outside of sport, team rules)

41
Q

research on SDT in sport and exercise

A
  • increased effort in physical education and classes and intention to be physically active
  • increased exercise intensity
  • less burnout among elite athletes
  • the fulfillment of the needs leads to more self-determined motivation
42
Q

stress is a response to heavy demands placed on an individual
stress is an experience that is produced through an interplay between a persons thoughts and behaviors with an environment that is an individual perceives as challenging or exceeding one’s resources

- emotions have their own relational theme

45
Q

emotions can tell us more than stress about

A

54
Q

outcomes of the cognitive apprasials process

A
  • harm/loss
  • threat
  • challenge
55
Q

what leads to challenge appraisals

A
  • challenge appraisals are likely to happen when:
  • high level of self-efficacy/ perceived control
  • an approach achievement goal orientation
