STUDY GUIDE WITH SOLUTIONS
◉ 6 periods of sports psychology.
Answer: --Early years(1895-1920): characterized by isolated studies
--Griffith Era(1921-1938): sport psychology labs and psychological
testing took place; Coleman Griffith became the first American to
specialize in the area; lab at University of Illinois
--Preparation for Future(1939-1965): characterized by the field's
scientific development attributable to the educational efforts of
Franklin Henry
--Establishment of Academic Branch(1966-1977): sport and exercise
psychology became a valued component of the academic discipline
of physical education
--Multidisciplinary Research(1978-2000): multidisciplinary science
and practice, characterized by tremendous growth as the field
became more accepted and respected by the public
--Contemporary(2000-present): distinguished by continued growth
worldwide, considerable diverse research, and interest in
application and consulting
◉ Physical/Psychological Responses to Burnout.
Answer: - Tension
- State anxiety
,- Anger
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Negative self-talk
◉ What is the advantage of the deep breathing technique?.
Answer: It is easy and effective
- it is also very quick so you can use it during breaks
◉ Identify and explain 3 ways of knowing.
Advantages/disadvantages of each?.
Answer: -Common sense (intuition, speculation); strength= easy and
quick; limitations= not based on experience or data
-Practical experience (observations, case studies); strengths=
immediate, innovative; limitations= fails to explain mechanisms,
susceptible to bias
-Science (controlled, empirical investigations); strengths= reliable,
objective; limitations= reductionistic, slow to evolve
◉ Stress Model of Burnout.
Answer: - Commitment & Entrapment Theory
- Participate because they "have to" not "want to" because of: social
pressures; lack of attractive alternatives; large investments
,◉ What are two assumptions of PMR?.
Answer: 1. tension and relaxation cannot occur simultaneously
2. relaxation of muscles contributes to relaxation of the mind
◉ 4 steps of scientific method?.
Answer: -Develop the problem (what is the purpose;
independent/dependent variables)
-Formulate hypotheses (must be testable)
-Gather data
-Analyze and interpret results
◉ Non-Stressed Model of Burnout.
Answer: - Identity & Control Model
- Stress is a symptom of burnout NOT the driving force
- Burnout in young athletes is not about individual response to
participation but about fundamental structure of sport
◉ Socialization.
Answer: - A continuous process whereby individuals learn skills,
behaviors, attitudes, and values that cause or enable them to
function in their group or culture
, ◉ What are the sensations that we focus on in Autogenic training.
Answer: 1. Heaviness in extremities*
2. Warmth in extremities*
3. Regulation in HR
4. Regulation in breathing
5. Abdominal warmth
6. Cool forehead
◉ Identify the IV and DV in the following statement: do 8 year old
gymnasts learn new vaults faster if they are exposed to mastery
versus coping models?.
Answer: IV: Mastery vs. coping models
DV: speed of learning
◉ What is biofeedback.
Answer: It teaches control of physiological and autonomic responses
to arousal (muscle activity, skin temp, brain waves, HR)
◉ What is a theory?.
Answer: a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain
something, especially one based on general principles independent
of the thing to be explained
