of work will attempt to evaluate a sports psychology related theory, e.g. the catastrophe model by Fazey and Hardy (1988), which seeks to explain the relationship between sporting performance and anxiety. How this will be done will be through looking in depth firstly at what anxiety is and how it can be created. It will next endeavour to break the catastrophe theory down to its simplest form in an attempt to discover what the theories core elements and beliefs are. How this piece of work will…
control their thoughts and emotions before a competition. In class we talk about two different theories related to imagery. They are the functional equivalence theory and the mental readiness theory. The functional equivalence theory says that the same part of your brain is working when you are out doing the actual activities or when you are visualizing yourself doing them. The mental readiness theory talks about how using imagery helps you to optimize arousal, attention, and confidence. For the…

However our textbooks discuss five specific types which are the theory of self-direction, theory of margins, transformational learning, experimental learning and context based learning. Each theory is unique and offers its own positive and negative attributes. Our first theory is the theory of self direction is described simply as the acquiring information without an instructor present . This type of…
issues advocating against the abstract question of reality. In contrast, the aim of modern science has been, by employing the scientific method, to establish reality beyond any doubt.

experimental results show that the null hypothesis may be mistaken, and thus, in this case, it is discarded and replaced the hypothesis development and testing. In the case of a hypothesis that is not refuted by the results, it may form the basis for the theory to explain this phenomenon. Experimental science has placed the importance of the publication, they may be re-created by other researchers to prove the consistency of the rights of observation so that they might further refine the…
