Competence, Autonomy, Relatedness
What is self-determination theory?
Explains that competence, autonomy, and relatedness influence intrinsic motivation and psychological well-being
What are extrinsic rewards?
Material things like trophies, money, t-shirts, etc
What happens to a person's motivation when you pay them for an activity that is already intrinsically interesting?
It can decrease their intrinsic motivation
What determines the effect of a reward on a person's intrinsic motivation?
the individual's perception of the reward

perception drives reality!
What are the two aspects of extrinsic rewards?
Controlling aspect= perceived locus of causality of behavior (can be positive or negative)

Informational aspect= perceived cues about competence (can be increased or decreased)

Combined to increase of decrease intrinsic motivation
Extrinsic rewards may be best for what activities?
Activities that are not intrinsically interesting

**Coaching behaviors are important extrinsic rewards**
What is achievement motivation?
“A person’s orientation to strive for task success, persist in the face of failure, and experience pride in accomplishments”

Influences choice of activity, effort, intensity of effort, persistence
What is achievement goal theory?
•Understand differences in achievement
•Individuals are driven to achieve and be successful
•However, people define success in different ways
What are the achievement goal orientations?
Mastery/Task

and

Outcome/Ego
Define Mastery/Task achievement goal orientation
-Focus on improving personal ability
•Feel successful when work hard, improve skills, and/or master skills
•Believe that effort leads to success
Define outcome/ego achievement goal orientation
•Focus on proving one has high ability
•Feel successful when have high ability in comparison to others
•Outdoing others leads to success regardless of effort
What are social goal orientations?
-Define success in terms of social interactions/relationships
(e.g., Coach praise, peer acceptance, close friendship)

-Contributed to sportsmanship behaviors above and beyond task and ego goal orientation
Which goal orientation (task or ego) is better?
Sport psychologists suggest a task goal orientation facilitates a stronger work ethic, extra persistence, and more long-term motivation.
Achievement goals + perceived ability=
Achievement behavior
Task oriented+ high percieved ability=
select challenging task, exert maximal effort, remain persistent when struggling
Task oriented+ low percieved ability=
issue more self-instruction, maintain positive affect
Ego oriented + high percieved ability=
expect to succeed in moderately difficult tasks

exert maximal effort
Ego oriented + low perceived ability=
exhibit "helpless" behavior

expect to fail at moderately difficult taks
Is an ego goal orientation bad?
Not necessarily …
when buffered by high perceived ability
when buffered by high task orientation
when placed in a task-involving climate
What are the two types of motivational climates?
Mastery climate –emphasizes personal improvement and rewards effort
Performance climate –emphasizes winning and rewards outperforming others
Transtheoretical Model of Exercise Behavior

An individual progresses through six stages of change
1.Precontemplationstage
2.Contemplation stage
3.Preparation stage
4.Action stage
5.Maintenance stage
6.Termination stage
Ecological Model of Exercise Behavior
•Factors beyond individuals’ control
•Community agencies influence policies that affect physical activity environments
•More supportive environments = more physical activity
Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological model of human development
Macrosystem
Exosystem
Microsystem
Six categories of Strategies for Enhancing Adherence to Exercise
Behavior modification approaches
Reinforcement approaches
Cognitive–behavioral approaches
Decision-making approaches
Social-support approaches
Intrinsic approaches
Is competition good or bad?
neither- neutral process
Understanding the Competitive Process: Objective Competitive Situation
•Performance compared with some standard of excellence
•Presence of at least one other person to evaluatethe performance
Subjective Competitive Situation
•How the person perceives, accepts, and appraisesthe objective competitive situation
•What personal characteristics influence one’s interpretation?
Response
•Whether a person approachesor avoidsan objective competitive situation

•Physiological
–arousal level, blood pressure, heart rate
•Psychological
–anxiety inventories, confidence, motivation
•Behavioral
–self-talk, change in performance, selection of opponent
Consequences
•An evaluation (usually positive or negative) of one’s response to the standard of the performance comparison
two type of group roles
formal and informal
creating an effective team climate
•An evaluation(usually positiveor negative) of one’s response to the standard of the performance comparison

•Fairness—or a lack of it—can bring a group closer together.

•Greater similarity = closer climate.
Two types of aggression
Hostile
Goal is to inflict (physical or psychological) pain or harm on someone
Instrumental
Goal is to meet a particular non-aggressive goal (i.e., winning the boxing match)
What is bracketed morality?
Many individuals (i.e., athletes) view aggression as inappropriate in general but appropriate in the sport environment
components of morality in sport
1.Fair play(adhere to formal and “unwritten” rules)
2.Good sporting behavior (respect for others, full commitment, social conventions)
3.Character(virtues –compassion, integrity)
How do people learn to be moral?
Two theoretical perspectives:
1.Social learning theory
2.Structural developmental theory
Social learning theory
Focus on displays of appropriate behavior
Internalize society’s standards thru:
Observation of significant others
Reinforcement or punishment
Social comparison
Structural development theory
Focus on underlying thoughts and judgments

Moral reasoning
“Decision process in which a person determines the rightness or wrongness of a course of action”
levels of moral reasoning
livel 1- external control(Ok if I don’t get caught)
Level 2 –Eye for an eye
Level 3 –“Golden Rule”(More altruistic)
Level 4 –Follow external rules
level 5- what is best for all
straegies for enhancing moral development
1.Define sportspersonship-don’t leave to chance!
2.Reinforce and encourage ‘good’ behavior, actively discourage ‘bad’ behavior
3.Convey rationales -always explain the why
4.Model appropriate behaviors
5.Discuss moral dilemmas and build these into class/practice
what happens post-injury?
Integrated model of response to sport injury (Wiese & Weiss, 1987; Wiese-Bjornstal, 2004; Wiese-Bjornstal, Smith, Shaffer, & Morrey, 1998)
Includes cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of injury response
Emphasizes the continuous and cyclical process of postinjuryrehabilitation
periodized training
High-intensity followed by low-volume (i.e., overload & taper)
overtraining
“A short cycle of training during which athletes expose themselves to excessive training loads that are near or at maximum capacity” (Weinberg
staleness
End result of overtraining
•Athlete cannot maintain standard training regimenand achieve previous performance standards
•Signs of staleness include decreased performanceand mood disturbance
burnout
•Exhaustion,both physical and emotional
•Feelings of low personal accomplishment, low self-esteem, failure, and depression
•Depersonalizationand devaluation
Cognitive-affective stress model
Four-stage process
1.Situational demands
2.Cognitive appraisal
3.Physiological responses
4.Behavioral repsonses
other issue related to burnout
1.Identity issues
•Development of a unidimensionalself-concept (i.e., all eggs in one basket)
2.Control issues
•Athletes make few decisions about their own lives (e.g., power relationships with parents, coaches)
treatment and prevention of burnout
1.Monitor critical statesin athletes
2.Communicate
3.Set short-termgoals
4.Take relaxation (time-out) breaks
5.Learn self-regulation skills
what is PST
•“Systematic and consistent practice of mental or psychological skills for the purpose of enhancing performance,increasing enjoyment,or achieving greater physical activity self-satisfaction”(Weinberg & Gould, 2007, p. 250
components of mental toughness

•Confidence—The strong sense of self-belief.
Education phase of PST
•Explain the importanceof PST (i.e., provide background, sport-specific examples)
•Increase awareness
Acquisition phase
•Select and teach appropriate strategies specific to athletes’ needs and abilities
•PST methods include:
--Arousal regulation--Self-confidence
--Imagery--Goal setting
--Concentration--Positive self-talk
Practice phase
