What is attribution theory? - Answer-explains how individuals interpret outcomes of
behaviors, which predicts future behaviors
What are the three components of attribution theory? - Answer-1. Stability
2. Local of Causality
3. Locus of control
What is stability in relation to attribution theory? - Answer-Was the outcome stable (will
happen again) or unstable (might not happen again aka good luck)
What is the locus of causality? - Answer-- Internal v. External?
- Whose fault is the problem?
- Internal (your effort) or external (easy field conditions)
What is locus of control in relation to attribution theory? - Answer-In one's control or out
of one's control
Competence Motivation Theory - Answer-People are motivated to feel worthy or
competent.
Feelings of competence and worth, as well as perceptions of control, determine
motives. Perceived competence influences one's emotions which in turn influences
motivation
Expectancy-value theory - Answer-Behavior is a function of one's beliefs. If the
individual believes (has the expectation) they will be successful, and they believe the
outcome is of value, they are more driven to succeed.
Debilitative/Facilitative anxiety principles - Answer-A control model of debilitative and
facilitative competitive anxiety where athletes' belief about whether they have control
over goal attainment or their ability to cope with performance stress in a particular
setting will determine whether they appraise anxiety as facilitative or debilitative
Multidimensional anxiety model - Answer-a positive linear relationship exists between
self-confidence and performance
a negative linear relationship exists between cognitive anxiety and performance
,The multidimensional anxiety model considers somatic and cognitive anxiety. What is
the difference? - Answer-Somatic anxiety includes perception of physical responses
related to anxiety (increased heart rate, muscular tension, sweating)
Cognitive anxiety includes: negative expectations, concerns about performance, worry,
fear
In the multidimensional anxiety model, how does somatic anxiety relate to
performance? - Answer-Somatic anxiety follows the same pattern of influence on
performance as predicted by inverted-U
Reversal theory - Answer-An arousal regulation theory indicating that individuals can
choose to reverse their perception of internal states regardless of the level of arousal or
presence of various emotional states.
Appraisal Theory - Answer-An emotion regulation theory stating that the evaluation of
the situation dictates the intensity and dimension of the emotional response.
Goals focused on one's own results that measure progress toward the outcome goal. -
Answer-Performance Goals
Goals focused on the end result - Answer-Outcome Goals
Process Goals - Answer-Goals focused on the task (technique or procedure) that lead
to the outcome goal.
Reappraisal - Answer-The process in which individuals make a conscious effort to
change their perspective.
Learned Helplessness - Answer-Occurs when individuals either fail to exert effort or
withdraw effort in situations because they perceive their effort cannot positively impact
the situation
linked to depression perceive failure is due to their personal limitations or lack of ability,
believe they can't achieve success across multiple domains (globally)
Self-efficacy theory - Answer-Bandura - beliefs that they are capable of executing
behaviors that facilitate their performance on certain tasks
Considered to be a fluctuating state rather than fixed trait
-influenced by previous experience, observational learning (modeling), vicarious
experiences, cultivating physiological and emotional states, encouragement from self or
others, imagery
, Social cognitive theory - Answer-emphasis on social influence and external and internal
social reinforcement
started as social learning theory
learning occurs in a social context with dynamic and reciprocal interaction of the person,
environment, and behavior
What is social learning theory - Answer-combined classical and operant conditioning
with observational learning
CMPC® certification helps to demonstrate what to the public? - Answer-Competency
What is stress inoculation training - Answer-combines imagery, self-talk, and relaxation
to develop a coping skills program
What is the first step in stress inoculation training? - Answer-Imagery - rehearse
exposure to increasingly "stair-step" stressful encounters
What is the second step in stress inoculation training? - Answer-Pairs imagery with
relaxation at each stair-step to induce a relaxed state while maintain the imager before
progressing to imaging a slightly more stressful situation.
What is the third step in the stress inoculation training? - Answer-Exposes challenging
but manageable stressful environments where coping skills are tested in real life
What is REBT? - Answer-Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy - Albert Ellis
What is the Cusp catastrophe model - Answer-An arousal regulation theory that
suggests there is a curvilinear relationship between arousal and performance but that in
the presence of heightened cognitive state anxiety, increased arousal leads to a rapid
decline in performance.
What is the cue utilization model - Answer-A model created by Easterbrook that states
athletes experience an unhelpful influx of information when arousal is relatively low but
attentional focus of athletes is narrowed as arousal begins to increase
In the cue utilization model, what happens when focus is narrowed? - Answer-
Narrowing of focus is helpful for athletes because they can better focus on relevant
cues
In the cue utilization model, what happens when arousal becomes too high? - Answer-
When athletes hit a threshold in their arousal level, they are no longer able to maintain
focus on important cues, heightened arousal becomes maladaptive and hurts
performance
