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 model at same level as other students
-mastery = high level peer model
-not a significant difference b/t the modeling groups, but a lot better than
no peer model
Self serving bias

confidence
-for success: internal and stable
-for failure: external and unstable
In what two key ways is anxiety described to affect performance?

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

-competence, relatedness, autonomy
-provide participants choice, use small rewards as symbols of achievement
not to coerce/control, help all participants feel included in the group
Compare and contrast theories of how anxiety influences performance.

-Drive theory: linear relationship b/t anxiety and performance, no upper
bound showing that high arousal can reach a maladaptive point (positive
linear then levels out)
-Inverted U: relationship b/t performance and arousal, says there is an
optimal level of arousal
-IZOF: bandwidth for optimal performance, varies for diff ppl and activities,
optimal level not always at midpoint, most empirical support
-Multidimensional theory: combines inverted U and negative linear
relationship, says cog anxiety is always bad and somatic anxiety is an
inverted U (can be good at optimal point), takes into account somatic and
other (i.e., Weiss et al., 1998 study).
