Midterm 2 Flashcards
What are barriers to physical activity?
Ecological factors, convenience, lack of time, boredom or lack of enjoyment
True/false; everyone requires motivation to engage in PA
True
What are the 3 primary elements of motivation?
Direction of effort, intensity of effort, and persistence of effort
What is the difference between a theory and a model?
A theory organizes information in a way such that it can be used to predict phenomena, whereas a model merely represents or describes phenomena; it cannot explain roots or predict
What can theories and models do?
Help us explain/understand, predict, and provide direction
Which theories/models of motivation are more sports-centric?
Achievement Goal Theory, Theory of Competence Motivation, Sport Commitment Model
What are the 5 stages of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM)?
Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance
What 3 factors influence stage progression in TTM?
Self-efficacy (belief in one’s capabilities to execute a task)
Decisional balance (perceived advantages/disadvantages)
Process of change (strategies used to progress through stages)
What does the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) say?
Personal and social factors influence intentions, which in turn influence sport and behaviour
What 3 factors influence intentions in TPB?
Attitudes, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control (which also has indirect relationship with behaviour)
What does the Social Cognitive Theory say?
There are 3 key factors that influence each other: personal factors, behavioural (effort, persistence, choice) and environmental factors
What 4 personal and behavioural factors that collectively influence self-efficacy beliefs in Social Cognitive Theory?
Mastery experiences, modelling, verbal persuasion, physiological & affective states
How can we use social cognitive theory in practice?
We can employ coaches and sport psych consultants in an effort to surround oneself with the ‘right’ people and develop strategies to push past difficult psychological and emotional states.
Health promoters and exercise counselors can help clients consider how they define ‘mastery’ and optimal social support
What is organismic integration theory?
A component of Self Determination Theory, which says that motivation is a multidimensional construct ranging from autonomous (most self-determined) to controlling (least self-determined)
What is basic needs theory?
A component of self determination theory that describes motivation as being determined by how well the situation meets the athlete’s needs
What are the athlete’s needs in basic needs theory?
Autonomy, competence, relatedness
What is the difference between integrated and identified regulation?
Integrated regulation consists of actions driven by beliefs about oneself/identity, whereas identified regulation concerns actions driven by personal importance or values
What are the three types of intrinsic regulation?
Actions driven by inherent interest in knowing, accomplishing, and experiencing stimulation (most self-determined)
If non-scholarship students are encountered with the possibility of obtain scholarship, what happens to their motivation?
They end up with increased external regulation, decreased intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation and accomplish
Two disposition-oriented dimensions based on an individual’s definitions of competence, success, and failure define which theory of motivation?
Achievement Goal Theory
What do task goal orientation and ego goal orientation refer to?
Task > mastery
Goal > performance
Those with an ego goal orientation are more likely to be ______ motivated (self determination theory)
Extrinsically motivated
How do we promote a task-oriented climate?
TARGET
T = Tasks (variety and diversity stimulates learning)
A = Autonomy
R = Recognition (of effort and self-improvement)
G = Grouping
E = Evaluation (self reference performance)
T = Timing (optimal timing of challenge and success)
Children are innately motivated to be competent in all areas of achievement that they value and feel they have control over. Competence motivation ultimately determines whether another mastery attempt is made; which theory of motivation does this refer to?
Theory of Competence Motivation
What feeds into competence motivation?
Mastery attempts (sport choices, intensity, persistence) creates feedback from significant others and self-evaluation, which in turn feeds into emotions and perceived competence/control/value. Emotions and perceived competence then feed into competence motivation.
What are the 2 psychological states representing the desire or resolve to continue sport in the Sport Commitment Model?
Functional & obligatory commitment
What aspects of sport commitment have a positive direct relationship with functional commitment?
Sport enjoyment, valuable opportunities, drive to excel
What aspects of sport commitment have a negative relationship with functional commitment?
Other priorities
What aspects of sport commitment have a negative relationship with obligatory commitment?
Sport enjoyment, valuable opportunities
What aspects of sport commitment have a positive relationship with obligatory commitment?
Other priorities, social constraints, personal investments
