-characterization of successful athletes-> reflects (+) mental health -above average vigor -below average tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion

What is the difference between a coping and a mastery model? Is one better than the other (i.e., Weiss et al., 1998 study).

-coping -> peer w/ similar competence level -mastery -> peer who is expert at the skill -Moderate to large differences between control and modeling groups on skill, fear, and self-efficacy following the intervention -No differences between modeling groups** -Using peer models can enhance motor skill and psychological outcomes when teaching new, anxiety-producing activities

What are the 3 predictors of goal involvement (state) from Achievement Goal Theory? Which one might be the most easily influenced by a practitioner?

-goal orientation/disposition -concept of ability -motivational climate (most easily influenced)

catastrophe theory

-interaction of cognitive and somatic anxiety and the combined relationship on athletic performance. -high cognitive anxiety: As arousal increases, performance increases to a point (like inverted-U), but if it goes beyond an optimal level, performance drops off sharply as the athletes goes over the edge (catastrophe) -Returning to an optimal level after a catastrophe requires dramatically reducing anxiety below the normal optimal level and then working back up to optimal levels...

Hollander's model of personality

-internal psychological core (internal & constant) (ex. attitudes, values, interests, and beliefs about self) -typical responses (middle) (ex. shy, even-tempered, etc.) -role-related behavior (external & dynamic)

Why are traits a poor predictor of behavior on their own?

-no specific personality profile for an athlete -can't assume cause and effect

What are the importance of emotional states (e.g., enjoyment, anxiety, pride, shame) to this model?

-perceptions influence affective or emotional states (e.g., enjoyment, anxiety, pride, shame) that in turn influence motivation.

( inverted u) According to this theory, what is the optimal level of arousal for performing a task?

-performance is optimal at a moderate level of arousal and falls off if athletes are not aroused enough or too aroused (middle)

Define & differentiate all aspects of Fox & Corbin's (1989) model for the physical self.

-physical self-worth directly influences self-esteem -physical self-worth = sport competence, physical condition (fitness), body attractiveness and physical strength

Ebbeck & Weiss (1998)

-purpose: examine possible determinants of self-esteem for children in sport (perceived competence & affect/emotion) -participants: boys and girls enrolled in 1 of 2 summer sport programs -results: 1. affect mediator model ->perceived competence sig. influenced + affect and in turn self-esteem 2. perceived competence mediator -> only + affect sig. influenced per. competence and in turn self-esteem -link between self-esteem and competence

What are the common motivated/behavioral outcomes of task and ego involvement?

-task: Choose learning opportunities at risk of displaying mistakes High effort Persist in face of failure Continue to problem solve when encountering failure -ego: Avoid learning opportunities that have risk of displaying error Put in just enough effort to socially compare well; or to disguise poor ability Give up in face of failure Fewer problem-solving efforts in failure situations

What are the 3 stages of children's competence motivation? Why are they important to the competence motivation model?

1. Autonomous Competence: (before age 4) children focus on mastering their environment through self-testing their abilities. At this stage, children rarely compare themselves with others... 2. Social Comparison: (begins at ~5 years old) Children focus on comparing their performance with others... 3. Integrated Stage: (no typical age) Involves both social comparison and autonomous achievement strategies. --understanding exists for when it's okay to compete and when more self-referenced standards are appropriate

What are the 3 psychological needs and how to influence more intrinsic/self-determined motivation?

amotivation-extrinsic(external,introjected,identified, integrated)-intrinsic -becomes self-determined at identified

Define and differentiate arousal and anxiety. Be able to differentiate these terms from stress (next lecture) as well.

intrinsic: Behaviors demonstrated voluntarily, in the absence of constraints imposed by others Performing an activity for its own sake extrinsic:Behaviors displayed for the purpose of achieving some end and not for its own sake

Inverted-U Hypothesis graph? According to this theory, what is the optimal level of arousal for performing a task?

performance is optimal at a moderate level of arousal and falls off if athletes are not aroused enough or too aroused...

Why are traits a poor predictor of behavior on their own?

predispositions do not mean an individuals will act on them in every situation... sport may be a context in which traits are suppressed or exaggerated. Don't take into account the environment.

problems w/ using personality testing in athletics

problems: -Using clinical tests that focus on abnormality to study average population -Not sufficient evidence of reliability and validity -Social desirability and some psychological skills can be learned -Does not account for non-psychological factors which affect sport performance -Not recommended to use personality tests to make decisions about sport participation (e.g., making the team)
