Second Half Flashcards
Moral Behaviour
-whats it learned through?
doing an action that’s deemed right or wrong
-reinforcement and modelling
2 types of moral behaviour
pro-social
anti-social
pro-social behaviour
-examples
behaviour intended to assist or benefit another person or team
-help up
-positive feedback
anti-social behaviour
-examples
behaviour intended to harm or disadvantage another person or team
-hurting
-cursing
4 factors that influence moral behaviour
something tickles my god
sport environment
team norms
motivational climate
goal orientation
sport environmentis influenced by who
influenced by coach
team norms
standards or expectations that influence team members behaviours
motivational climate
mastery vs performance
mastery motivational climate
coach encourages cooperation and learning from mistakes
performance motivational climate
coach emphasizes winning and stresses competition among teammates
goal orientation
task vs ego orientations
agression
verbal or physical act intended to injure someone psychologically or physically
violent behaviour
extreme act of physical aggression, with no direct relationship to the competitive goals of sport
assertive behaviour
forceful, vigorous and legitimate actions w no intent to injure an opponent
4 key points of aggressive behaviour
- its a behaviour not an emotion, feeling or a personality trait
- it can be verbal or physical
- its intended to cause psychological or physical harm
- directed to another person
2 types of aggression
instrumental & hostile
instrumental aggression
aggressive acts serving as a means to a particular goal such as winning, money, or prestige in which intent to injure opponent is involved
hostile aggression
aggressive acts done to intentionally harm or injure someone
bullying
imbalance of power between peers where the one who’s more powerful attacks the less powerful one w intention to harm
hazing
humiliating, degrading, abusive, or dangerous activity expected of an individual to belong to a group, regardless of willingness to participate
psychodynamic theory of aggression
ppl are born w instinct for aggression
frustration aggression theory
you act out because you’re mad
-natural response to madness
physiological theories
aggressive behaviour occurs bc people have either a brain pathology or excess testosterone
social learning theory
ppl use aggression bc they have learned that aggression pays
moral disengagement
aggressive behaviour occurs thru ppl changing their mortality under certain conditions
3 factors influencing aggression
personal
situational
group
personal - factors influencing aggression
age, size, gender
retaliation motive
annoyances
de-individualization
obsessive passion
situational - factors influencing aggression
frequency of competition
home advantage
point differentials
coaching behaviour
group - factors influencing aggression
individuals team role
team norms
collective efficacy for aggression
reducing aggression in sport
Reducing aggression in sport
-punishment for aggression and encouragement for fair play
- educational and behavioural interventions
- changes in media portrayal of aggression
Arousal
Blend of physiological and psychological activation of your ans
-results from positives and negatives of events
Anxiety
Negative emotional state experienced when faced w a real or imagined threat
Anxiety is multidimensional. What are the 2 types? (1 being mental, 1 being physical)
Mental: cognitive anxiety
Physical: somatic anxiety
Cognitive anxiety
Concerns, worries, reduced ability to concentrate, brain fog
Somatic anxiety
Changes in perceived physiological arousal. HR, butterflies, tense mm
State anxiety
Associated w worries and apprehension that change from moment to moment
Trait anxiety
Stable part of an individuals personality
- predisposing that person to perceive a variety of situations as physically or psychologically threatening
Social anxiety
Occurs in sits where ppl feel they’re being negatively evaluated
Competitive anxiety
Worry about body, performance, skill being evaluated by others during competition
social physique anxiety
worry about recieving negative evaluations about their body from others
4 stage stress response
environmental demand
perception of environmental demand
stress response
behavioural consequences
3 dimensions of anxiety response
intensity
-strength & symptoms
frequency of cognitive intrusions
-% of worry thoughts
directional interpretation
-facilitative vs debilitative
factors contributing to personal anxiety
experience and skill level
gender
trait anxiet
confidence
self presentation
self regulation
environmental factors that contribute to anxiety
exercise, sport
exercise:
mirrors
clothing
sport: type
timing of event
motivational climate
event characteristics
exercise and skill level
personal factors influencing anxiety
no differences in pre competitive anxiety intensity level
-more athletes interpreted anxoety as facilitative
gender
personal factors influencing anxiety
inconsistent in sport
in exercise females have higher social physique anxiety but are experienced by both genders
trait anxiety
personal factors influencing anxiety
doesnt influence directional interpretation
-increse in intensity of competitve state anxiety and social physique anxiety (SPA)
confidence
personal factors influencing anxiety
related to lower levels of pre competitive state anxiety
-view anxiety symptoms as facilitative
-confidence may act as a buffer and allow athletes with high cognitive anxiety to tolerate higher levels of physiological arousal
self presentation
ability to monitor and control impressions that ppl hold of themselves
self presentation
in sport
poor self presentation beliefs associated w greater intensity competitive trait & state anxiety
self presentation
in exercise
increase in body dissatisfaction
increase in SPA
-associated w decreased social anx and SPA
self presentiation efficacy
confidence in ability to present themselves to others
examples of positive self regulation strategies
self talk, relaxation skills, imagery
negative self regulation
-whos it more common in
behaviours used in advance in sport or exercise performance settings to excuse any failures that might occur or internalize for successes
-more common among athletes with high trait and state anx
environmental factors
sport type, motivational climate
sport type:
some research suggests athletes in individual and contact sports experience higher state axiety
motivational climate:
mastery versus performance
event importance
-personal meaning of event
-critical situations
-both can lead to higher state anxiety
uncertainty
-can lead to higher state anxiety
-effect on anxiety depends on athletes coping
what is drive theory and what are the two factors
as physiological arousal increases, performance improves
1. habit strength
2. arousal (drive)
limitation of drive theory
as tasks become more complex, theory isnt supported
inverted U hypothesis
as physiological arousal increases, performance improves but only up to a certain point, after which performance declines
limitation of inverted U hypothesis
not supported by sport research. rarely used as valid explanations since 1990
-doesnt explain how it only addresses arousal and not anxiety
anxiety is NOT arousal true or false
TRUE
individualized zones of optimal functioning
-each althete has their own zone of optimal state anxiety
-contributed to understanding of different emotional states and performance
individualized zones of optimal functioning
limitations
-IZOF calculations
-memory error/recall bias
-doesnt account for person to person differences
cusp catastrophe model
three dimensional model that explains
-combined influence of cognitive state anxiety and arousal on performance (interactive not additive)
what does the cusp catastrophe model predict
predicts facilitative vs debilitative anxiety
5 cusp catastrophe model predictions
- low cognitive anxiety
- physiological arousal is low
- physiological arousal is high
- high cognitive anxiety (worry)
- catastrophe
low cognitive anxiety
cusp catastrophe model
arousal and performance follow inverted U
physiological arousal is low
cusp catastrophe model
increases in cognitive state anxiety can enhance performance relative to baseline
-sudden dramatic drop
physiological arousal is high
cusp catastrophe model
increases in cognitive state anxiety
-sudden dramatic drop
high cognitive anxiety
cusp catastrophe model
facilitative effect
-increase in belief about success
-positive interpretation of anxiety
catastophe
cusp catastophe model
debilitative effect
-moderately high arousal
negative interpretation of anxiety
recovering from catastrophe
how to improve performance
- reduce cognitive anxiety and arousal
- gradually reactive arousal
underlying phyiological mechanisms for how arousal/anxiety affect performance
-cortisol concentrations
-muscle tension
-blood flow to mm
increase in arousal and competitive anxiety
narrowing of attentional field
decrease in ability to select key info
shift from unconscious to conscious processing
worry, intrusive thoughts, focus on mechanics
low arousal ____ focus
high arousal ____ focus
broad focus
narrow focus
choking
acute, significant decrement in performance that occurs in sits of high pressure or anxiety
why do we choke
(cusp catastrophe theory)
high cognitive anxiety and high arousal BUT this comination doesnt always lead to choking
-may be due to changes in attention
-increase in self focus
re-investing
consciously controlling movementss, even for well learned tasks rather than performing automatically
factors that influence choking
-athletes who reinvest more
-complex tasks
-high trait anxiety and low confidence
-presence of evaluators
-novices-due to attentional problems
-experts-due to self focus
What is psychological skills training (PST)
Program that entails a structured and consistent practice of psych skills and has 3 phases
What’s the goal of PST
Athletes should be able to monitor and self regulate their own emotional state
Self regulation
Ability to work toward one’s short and long term goals by monitoring and managing one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours
What are the three phases of PST
Education
Acquisition
Practice
Phase 1 of pst
Education
Explain importance and value of pst
Phase 2 of pst
Acquisition
Tailor strategies to meet individual needs
Phase 3 of pst
Practice
Routine implementation of skills to practice and competition
Traditional sport psych interventions (5)
Goal setting
Imagery
Self talk
Arousal regulation
Attention ctrl
What is imagery
An experience that mimics real experience… u can be aware without experiencing the real thing
