six viewpoints to the study of personality
psychodynmaic, trait, situational, interactional, phenomenological, and integrative.
trait approach
B=f(p). a relative stable disposition to behave in a certain way; traits are the fundamental units of personality - how you generally act or behave. the way we automatically learn to respond to things.
situational approach
B = f (E)
personality and behaviour is determined largely by the social environment. Draws from social learning theory (Bandura) =, which explains behaviour in terms of observational learning (modelling) and social reinforcement (feedback).
interactionist approach
B = f (pxE) situation and person are co-determinants of personality and behaviour.
2 commonly used theoretical frameworks.
trait and interaction
how is trait used as a measurement of personality
questionnaires (multiple traits)
are there sport trait framework questionaires ?
no
4 ways you can use interaction framework as a measurement of personality.
state and trait measures, situation - specific measures and sport-specific measures and using psychological measures
state and trait measures example
state/trait anxiety inventory (speilberger et al., 1970)
situation-specific measures example
use the interactional approach theory. exam/test anxiety
sport specific measures examples
SCAT and CSAI-2 (martens et al, 1977)
how you could use psychological measures for personality.
guidelines for safe, systematic and ethical use of psych measures of personality (dos and donts)
3 things the research revealed on personality in sport.
trait measures of personality have produced inconsistent results.
trait measures alone have limited value for sport personality researchers.
studies using an interactionist framework have been more useful.
Why has this research been found like this.
because of the key factor = these studies consider BOTH states and traits.
five dimensions for traits personality (BIG 5 model)
neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, openess to experience and conscientiousness.
what are the dimensions of personalsity in trait that align with PA
extraversion and conscientiousness.
what is the phenomenlogical view of personality
b = f(exp) but will ot examine ones personallity from the trait will take it from ones undertsanding of how they view themslevs acting in specific environments (personality test)
why do you not use psychology tests for team selection?
they are not accuarte enough to be right. so it is unfair to base there position in the team based on this kind of test.
are there personality diff between male and female athletes?
no
