A force is needed to change a body's
state of motion
Newtons second law
The magnitude and direction of applied force
determines the magnitude and direction of
acceleration given to a body
Newtons third law
to every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction
Personality
Hollander's model
Hollander's Theory suggests that our
personality stems from an inner core of
beliefs and attitudes
The inner core is fairly
permenant and has a direct
effect on the next layers
The middle layer shows typical
responses showing how an
individual is likely to respond in a
situation
The outer layer shows the role related
behaviour, showing how an individual
would respond differently in a particular
situation and depending on how we feel
interactionist
Interactionist theories suggest that our
behaviour depends on the interaction
between our inherited, enduring
personality traits and the environment or
situation in which we find ourselves
Kurt Lewins formula: B=f(P.E)
According to the formula, our
behaviour (B) is afunction (f) of our
personality traits (P) and the
environment (E)
Our personal variables (traits) are
internal causes of behaviour and
environmental variables are external
causes of behaviour
Profile of mood states (POMS)
A way of measuring the moods
of those who participate in sport
It measures: Tension,
Depression, Anger, Vigour,
Fatigue and confusion
The iceberg profile is the POMS
profile that is associated with
successful athletes
Achievement motivation
the theory that an individual's behaviour
is determined by their interaction with the
environment and their desire to succeed
nAch
the motivation to suceed or
attain particular goals
Naf
the motivation to avoid
failure
Arousal
Drive Theory
a theory of arousal that proposes a linear
relationship between arousal and performance,
as arousal increase so does the quality of
performance
inverted U theory
a theory of arousal that considers that optimal
performance occurs when the performer reaches an
optimal level of arousal after which there is a decline in
the level of performance
Catastrophe theory
a theory that predicts a rapid decline in performance
resulting from the combination of high cognitive
anxirty and increasing somatic anxiety
reversal theory
the proposal that whether a performer views
arousal as pleasant (or unpleasant) is likely to have a
positive (or negative) impact on performance
Zone of optimal functioning
the area between the upper and lower levels of
arousal within which optimal performance takes
place
Changing Behaviour
The Triadic model
a hypothetical, testable proposition that
holds that attitudes are made of three
components: cognitive,affective and
behavioural
Cognitive component - what we
know and believe about the attitude
object
Affective component - how we
feel about the attitude object
Behavioural component - how we actually
behave towards, respond to or intend to
respond to the attitude object
The Fishbein and Ajzeden model
allows you to predict specific intentions and behaviours
Persuasive communication
an active, non-cercive attempt to
reinforce, modify or change the
attitude of others
Weiner's attribution theory
the process of attributing one's performance
(behaviour) to specific causes has three stages:
1. as the performer, you must be aware of
your performance or behaviour
2. you must accept that the
behaviour was intentional
3. you must accept that
behaviour is caused either by
internal factors or external factors
confidence
self efficacy
situation- specific
self-confidence
Factors affecting self efficay
It is based on four primary sources of
information
social facilitation
the behavioural effects due to the
presence of others
this can improve performance on
simple/well learned tasks alternatively it
can decrease performance on complex
taks or ones that had not been well learnt
Evaluation apprehension
This theory of social facilitation was put forward by
Cotrell, he said that rather than the mere presence of
others, it is the worry of being judged that affects
performance.
Baron's distraction-conflict theory
Group success
ringleman effect
the diminishing contribution of each
individual as group size increases
tuckman's model
suggests that groups go through each of the stages
while in a process of development and as a
consequence the norms, roles, individual relationships
and effects on each other change and evolve
cohesion
the dynamic forces that cause a team to
stick together
task cohesion is found in a group
that is bound together in a drive to
achieve a common objective, a
focus on the task
social cohesion found in a group
that is bound together by social
bonds, social attractiveness and
relationships
Carron
there are four key antecedents to the
development of cohesion
environmental factors
personal factors
leadership-based factors
team-based factors
Steiner's model
actual productivity = potential productivity - losses due to faulty group processes
social loafing
loss of individual effort in a group due
to a reduction in motivation
Leadership
fiedler's contingency model
the model suggests that a leader should decide
whether to be task or person oriented in their
leadership style and the decision should depend on
hte favourableness of the situation.
task-oriented leader
a leader who concentrates on setting goals
and completing the task as quickly as
possible
person-oriented leader
a leader who concentrates on developing
interpersonal relations within the group
chelladurai
argues that effective leadership can and will vary, depending
on the characteristics of the athletes and the constraints of
the situation
he suggested that there are various types of leadership behaviour and developed the leadership scale of sports to
measure leadership behaviours. This scale has five dimensions
training and instruction behaviour
democratic behaviour
autocratic behaviour
social support behaviour
rewarding behaviour
Type of leader needs to be very specific to be most effective and
must take into consideration age, gender and level of performer
styles of leadership
laissez-faire
Laissez Faire Leadership refers to a non-authoritarian leadership style,
also known as delegative leadership. Laissez faire leaders usually try to
give the least possible guidance to subordinates, and is proven to be the
least effective style of leadership.
Autocratic
Autocratic leadership is a leadership style characterized by individual
control over all decisions and little input from group members. Autocratic
leaders typically make choices based on their own ideas and judgments and
rarely accept advice from followers no matter how it may benefit the group.
Democratic
Democratic leadership, also known as participative leadership, is a
type of leadership style in which members of the group take a more
participative role in the decision-making process.
