Q

What is frustration aggression hypothesis

A
  • When a performer has a goal blocked they become frustrated
  • Frustration always leads to an aggressive response
  • Once the aggressive act had been carried out this will have a cathartic effect reducing frustration and aggression
  • If the peformer is unable to release their aggression frustration builds up leading to increased aggressive drive
    The performer is likely to retaliate later in the competition

27
Q

Explain zjonc’s model of social facilitation

A

With people surrounding the performer it leads to and increased arousal and drive. This means that the probability of the performer using their dominant response increases. A novice is more likely to have a wrong dominant response and therefore leads to social inhibition. Whereas an autonomous learner is likely to have the correct dominant response and therefore social facilitation occurs.

28
Q

What is social inhibition

A

Negative influence on performance, caused by the presence of others during performance

Q

Ways to combat social inhibition

A
  • Mental rehersal
  • Train in front of others and increase the numbers
  • Selective attention to cut out audience
  • Reduce importance of event
  • Avoid social comparison
  • Encourage team mates to be supportive
  • Increase self-efficacy
  • Gradually introduce evaluation
  • Stress management techniques and relaxation
  • Use attributions correctly
  • Ensure skills are over-learned to encourage the dominant habit to occur as arousal levels increase
