trait theory Flashcards
trait theory
states individual born with innate characteristics (traits)
these are stable, enduring and stay the same in sporting situations
adv of trait theory
easy to predict behaviour
e.g extrovert player more likely to perfom sport in extroverted manner e.g contributing to team discussions
dis of trait theory
does NOT take into account persoanity change e.g player may be agressive but then calm during interview
social learning theory
explains how personalities are developed
suggests behaviour is learnt by significant others
person who you hold high self esteem towards,
pick up behaviour from another=socialisation
more likely to learn behaviour which is reinforced/rewarded
observe-identify-reinforce-copy
interactionist perspective
theory which combines trait and social learning to predict behaviour in a specific situation
lewin approach to persoanlity
suggests interactionsit approach explained by lewins formula
bf(PxE)
hollander approach to intercationist theory
suggeted personality is made up of 3 parts
core of the performer
typical responses
role related behaviour
study tip: CTR
core of the perfomer
values and beliefs, stable andd solid and not likely to change
e.g has work ethic so willing to work hard for team in every game
typical responses
usual responses perfomer would make in a given situation
e.g wing attack means attacking
role related behaviour
further changes to behaviour may be needed due to sitautions ddemands
e.g moving back to defend when losing
attitudes
a value aimed att an attiute object
what you think about something
an opinion
attitude fromation
triadic model-made up of 3 parts
cognitive part-represents your beliefes e.g i beleive we will win this game
affective part-feelings and emotions e.g enjoys taking aprt during training
behavioural part-what you do, actions and habits of performer
study tip: CAB
how are attitudes formed
by associting with others andd picking up their opinions and values
what are the two ways an attitude can be changed
cogntive dissiociance
persuasive communcation
cognitive disscoiance
coach puts pressure on one or more attitude component so that perfomer becomes uneast and changes their existing attitude
persuave communciation
an effective communcation to pormote change
shoudl be done by significant pther
should make sure do it at right time e.g just afer loss so perfomer more willing to change current attitude
arousal definition
degree of readiness to perrfom
drive theory
states as arousal increases so does perfomance in a linear fashion
as arousal increases so does readiness to perrfom therefore, increase perfomabce
what is the dominant response
the stand out respons that the performer thinks is correct
inverted u theory
states as arousal increases so does perfomance at moderate levels of arousal
if arousal increases any more perfomance deterirate
can be either over aousal or under arousal that causes this
catastrophe theory
states as arorusal increases, so doe perfomance however there is a sudden dramatic reduction due to both cogntiive and somantic anxietys
xone of optimal funcationing
states rather than optimum point
perfomer gets to zone of optimum fucntioning
this can be at any level of arousal where everything goes perfect
peak flow experience
extended feeling of the zone of optimum functionung
