Q

cognitive approaches

A

emphasize the role of cognition’s and beliefs (thoughts) in motivation

Q

TPB: research

A
  • TPB has been widely applied in sport and exercise contexts review studies support the relationships outline in this theory
  • attitudes subjective norms and perceived behavioral about exercise control are predictions of intentions
  • subjective norms are the weakest of these 3 predictors of intention
  • intention to engage in physical activity predicts activity behavior approx 1/3 times (intention-behavior gap)
  • support for theory in a variety of populations

Q

social cognitive theory

A
  • albert bandura
  • another widely known and used theory to understand motivation

25
self regulation
behavior is self directed in that is initiated, monitored, and evaluated by the individual in a way that is consistent with accomplishing goals
26
sources of self efficacy
- past performance: when coaches start off easy, help you do well so you know you will be able to do it - varcarious experiences: seeing other people do it makes you think you can do it, more closely related the person is to you the more likely you are to do it - social persuasion: people telling you that you can do it, they believe it - physiological states: when physiological info tells you, you can/cant do something ex) sweaty, sore, hurt - affective: run feels good so you do it again
27
support for social cognitive theory self efficacy variable
- self-efficacy is reliably related to behavior outcomes such as - sport performance - exercise adherence - physical activity among children
28
self-determination theory
- deci and ryan - theory of human motivation and development - main focus: extent to which behavior is undertaken for reasons that come from within versus outside a person - made up of 5 sub-theories: we will focus on two
29
organismic integration theory
- deals with different types of motivation: views motivation as occurring on a continuum from external to internal (self-determined) sources - types of motivation
30
three types of intrinsic motivation
1. motivation to learn a new skill 2. motivation to accomplish 3. motivation due to sensory pleasure
31
four types of extrinsic motivation
1. external regulation 2. introjected regulation 3. identified regulation 4. intergrated regulation
32
external regulation
behaviors that are pursued solely for reward or to avoid punishment, controlled by external contingencies "i exercise because others think i should"
33
introjected regulation
behavior that is pursued due to internal prods and pressures; feeling that one should do something or to avoid guilt "i exercise because i feel guilty if i dont"
34
indentified regulation
behavior is personally valuable, though it may not be enjoyable "i exercise because it is good for my health "
35
intergrated regulation
through external motivation still occurs, the behavior is now accepted as valuable and congruent with ones personal value system "i exercise because i am healthy individual"
36
why should we care about different type of motivation/ regulations
- as motivation becomes more self-determined, positive outcomes are likely to occur: - improved well-being (ex: vitailty, less illness, less depression) - improved physical health (ex: reduced chronic diseases; more adherence to health behaviors, including exercise)
37
SDT: basic psychological needs theory
- all humans have three basic psychological needs - the satisfaction of these needs encourages more self-determined motivation - autonomy, competence, relatedness
38
autonomy
feeling that one has a choice and is in control of ones behavior (ex: would you rather run this route vs this route, giving choice)
39
competence
feeling effective and capable when undertaking challenges (ex: similar to self-efficacy, realistic goals)
40
relatedness
feeling meaningful connections with others in environments such as exercise (ex: breaking team into groups outside of sport, team rules)
41
research on SDT in sport and exercise
- increased effort in physical education and classes and intention to be physically active - increased exercise intensity - less burnout among elite athletes - the fulfillment of the needs leads to more self-determined motivation
42
what is stress
stress is a response to heavy demands placed on an individual stress is an experience that is produced through an interplay between a persons thoughts and behaviors with an environment that is an individual perceives as challenging or exceeding one's resources -the same situation may be stressful for one person but not for another -physiological, cognitive, affective, behavior
43
what is a stressor
- external events, forces and situations that have the potential to be interpreted as stressful - each athlete or exerciser may interpret the same stressor in different ways
44
stress, emotion and appraisal
- stress is more general concept than emotion | - emotions have their own relational theme
45
emotions can tell us more than stress about
- what an individual is experiencing - what a situation means to an individual - how an individual is likely to respond
46
primary appraisals
- an evaluation of what is at stake for a person in a situation
47
primary appraisals influenced by
- how personally relevant the situation is to the persons goals - whether the person sees the situation as benefical or harmful
48
secondary appraisals
-an evolution of what can be done in a situation
49
secondary appraisal influenced by
- available resources - level of perceived control (self-efficacy) - expectations regarding what is likely to occur in the future
50
primary and secondary appraisal processes are
- equally important - happen rapidly - happen at the same time
51
harm/loss appraisals
psychological damage is done, loss is irreversible
52
threat appraisals
anticipation that harm might occur or is likely to occur
53
challenge appraisals
threats are acknowledged but viewed as challenges to be overcome -more adaptive
54
outcomes of the cognitive apprasials process
- harm/loss - threat - challenge
55
what leads to challenge appraisals
- challenge appraisals are likely to happen when: - high level of self-efficacy/ perceived control - an approach achievement goal orientation - a focus an approaching positive outcomes ex) (succeeding) versus avoiding negative outcomes (failure)
56
types of stressors
how long they last -chronic: occur over a long period of time -acute: occur over a short period of time; sudden whether they suprise us or not -expected: that can be planned for -unexpected: unanticipated stressors whether they involve competition or not -competitive: stressors experienced prior to/during/ right after competition/performance -non-competitive: not directly part of competition performance
57
coping
-cognitive and behavioral efforts to manage specific external or internal demands (and conflicts between them) that are appraised as taxing or exceeding the resources of the person
58
what do cognitive efforts to cope look a like
efforts to control thoughts to manage the situation
59
what do behavioral efforts to cope look like
engaging in behaviors to manage the situation
60
coping skills versus management skills
coping is direct response to a stressor whereas management involves routine behaviors ( more like prevention)
