drive theory as an individuals arousal levels increases, performance will also increase linearly
Inverted U theory arousal facilitates performance up to an optimal level, beyond which further
increases in arousal are associated with reduced performance
Individual Zones of Optimal Functioning (IZOF) This theory states that the optimal level of intensity may vary, raining from very low
to very high for different individuals, and that a multitude of inter-individual
differences exist across athletes and settings
Cusp Catastrophe Model Describes the interactive effects of cognitive anxiety and physiological arousal on
performance
3-dimensional modal
Low levels of cog. anxiety = inverted U pattern
Under low levels of cognitive anxiety, physiological arousal is expected to enhance
performance up to a critical point or threshold
multidimensional anxiety theory Cognitive anxiety is negatively related to performance.
Somatic anxiety is related to performance in an inverted-U pattern. Increases in
self-confidence allow for increases in performance
State Anxiety temporary feeling of anxiety elicited by a threatening situation
Trait Anxiety anxiety based personality disposition that is stable over time
Transtheoretical Model of Change 1. Precontemplation - Unaware/uninformed, "No"
2. Contemplation - Weighing pros & cons, "maybe"
(Advantages must outweigh temptation to abandon Bx change)
3. Preparation - Planning, goals, timelines "Plan"
4. Action - Implementation, Bx modifications, "Do"
5. Maintenance - Bx change happens in daily life, "Keep going"
6. Termination - Self-efficacy, no temptation to relapse "Done"
Solution-Based Brief Therapy Consultants act as facilitators to guide clients away from problem talk to solution
talk—moving into a solution-oriented conversation.
Create solutions and revise their life stories in a positive, timely, and efficient
fashion. Little attention is given to the client's background or to diagnosis.
The miracle question opens the door to the client's possibilities for therapy. It does
this by simply asking them to consider what an alternate reality might look like - one
in which things are different, better, and problems are resolved.
cognitive behavioral therapy Structured, time-limited, problem-focused, and goal-oriented form of talk therapy
that helps clients learn to identify, question, and change how their thoughts,
attitudes, and beliefs relate to emotional and behavioral reactions that cause them
difficulty.
Relaxation training (including progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and
breathing retraining)
Exposure therapy (imaginal or in vivo exposure, including flooding and implosive
therapy)
Behavior rehearsal (behavioral training in social skills, habit reversal, or problem
solving)
Cognitive restructuring (including direct strategies to identify and alter maladaptive
thought processes)
Operant procedures (manipulation of reinforcers or punishers, including behavioral
activation)

rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) cognitive-behavioral therapy in which clients are directly challenged in their irrational
beliefs and helped to restructure their thinking into more rational belief statements
ABC framework, A- Activating agent, B- irrational belief, C- Consequences
an REBT approach can help replace irrational belief with a more rational one,
thereby influencing their emotional experience and actions before a competitive
event.
Difference between CBT & REBT CBT is concerned in finding the root cause of disturbing thoughts and does not
distinguish between different ones, unlike REBT, which aims to understand how
secondary disturbances can influence mental health conditions.
Acceptance Commitment Therapy Unique form of therapy that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies in
combination with commitment and behavior change strategies to increase
psychological flexibility
Focuses on:
Acceptance
Cognitive Defusion - distancing from unhelpful thx
Present Moment
Self
Values
Committed Action
Prevents: Experiential avoidances - avoiding unpleasant emotions
Cronbach's alpha a measure of internal consistency, that is, how closely related a set of items are as
a group
it is a coefficient of reliability (or consistency)
reliability coefficient of .70 or higher is considered "acceptable"
Reliability the extent to which a test yields consistent results, as assessed by the consistency
of scores on two halves of the test, on alternate forms of the test, or on retesting
Validity The ability of a test to measure what it is intended to measure
social cognitive theory learning occurs in a social context with a dynamic and reciprocal interaction of the
person, environment, and behavior. The unique feature of SCT is the emphasis on
social influence and its emphasis on external and internal social reinforcement
Modeling behaviors & Self-Efficacy
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) Selye's concept of the body's adaptive response to stress in three phases—
1. Alarm- Sympathetic system activates, Your heart rate increases, releases cortisol,
and receives a boost of adrenaline.
2. Resistance- the body begins to repair itself. Releases a lower amount of cortisol,
and your heart rate and blood pressure begin to normalize.
3. Exhaustion- This stage is the result of prolonged or chronic stress, feelings of:
fatigue
burnout
depression
anxiety
decreased stress tolerance
The physical effects of this stage also weaken your immune system and put you at
risk for stress-related illnesses.
