3 PERSONALITY PERSONALITY unique characteristics of an individual
knowledge about personality is important to ensure optimum sporting performance

4 THEORIES OF PERSONALITY- TRAIT
TRAIT THEORIES general (covering all situations) underlying (inside of and part of the person) enduring (long lasting) predisposition (an inclination or motive formed earlier) CATTELL - EYSENCK’s hierarchical organisation of personality

5 EYSENCK’S PERSONALITY TRAIT DIMENSIONS
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF PERSONS A - B - C - D? A stable extrovert talkative, outgoing, easy going, carefree, showing leader qualities B neurotic extrovert restless, aggressive, excitable, changeable C neurotic introvert anxious, sober, rigid, pessimistic D stable introvert careful, thoughtful, controlled, reliable, even tempered

6 THEORIES OF PERSONALITY - SOCIAL LEARNING
SOCIALISATION sport has a socialising effect participation in sport establishes norms and values of our society BANDURA behaviour is determined by the situation social comparison behaving the same way as the peer group social approval or disapproval determines our responses behaviour is reinforced or penalised VICARIOUS CONDITIONING the learning of emotional responses through observational learning example : learning to become angry after a valid referee decision has gone against him / her by watching other players do the same SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY explains behaviour in terms of the reaction to specific situations we learn to deal with situations by observing others or by observing the results of our own behaviour on others and by modelling our own behaviour on what we have seen athletes learn behaviour by watching others

7 THEORIES OF PERSONALITY - INTERACTIONIST
INTERACTIONIST THEORIES traits determine behaviour but can be modified by situations traits situations behaviour LEWIN behaviour is a function of both the person (personality P) and the environment (E) B = f(P,E)

8 THEORIES OF PERSONALITY
TYPE A characterised by : impatience works at a rapid pace higher levels of stress easily aroused strong desire to succeed anxiety in stressful situations lacking in tolerance has a need to be in control makes decisions quickly without much preparation or thought TYPE B characterised by : relaxed and patient allow time for tasks to be completed tolerance of others’ mistakes delegates easily low personal stress calm and unflappable in most situations less competitive prepared to wait and assess all options when decisions need to be made

9 STRUCTURE OF PERSONALITY - MARTENS

10 PERSONALITY STRUCTURE - HOLLANDER
PSYCHOLOGICAL CORE beliefs and values that remain more or less permanent example : a sportsman’s belief that fair play underlies his attitude on the field of play TYPICAL RESPONSES the way in which an individual responds in certain situations example : stopping fighting at the bell ROLE RELATED BEHAVIOUR in other situations we may behave differently example : striking after the bell when annoyed or frustrated SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT how the behaviour and expectations of others affect our role example : a player argues with the referee because others have done so and got away with it before

11 EYSENCK AND CATTELL’S HIERARCHICAL MODEL
Personality EYSENCK AND CATTELL’S HIERARCHICAL MODEL

12 SHELDON’S SOMATOPERSONALITY TYPOLOGY
SOMATOTYPE ectomorphy linearity endomorphy plumpness mesomorphy muscularity PERSONALITY TYPE cerebrotonia tenseness introversion viscerotonia sociability affection comfort-loving somatotonia risk taking adventure seeking extroversion

13 MEASUREMENT OF PERSONALITY
INTERVIEWS before or after the event not directly related to performance open ended and flexible transient feelings or attitudes may be expressed difficult to quantify accurately may be influenced by the interviewer QUESTIONNAIRES before or after the event not directly related to performance rigidly and systematically set out transient feelings or attitudes may be expressed able to quantify accurately would not be influenced by another can be used to assess specific traits OBSERVATION made during an actual event directly related to performance varies according to the competitive nature of the event difficult to quantify accurately may be influenced by the observer’s views and attitudes

14 THE STRUCTURE OF CATTELL’S 16PF QUESTIONNAIRE
Personality THE STRUCTURE OF CATTELL’S 16PF QUESTIONNAIRE

15 PROFILE OF MOOD STATES (POMS)
Personality PROFILE OF MOOD STATES (POMS) MOODS are an important aspect of personality which may influence sports performance tension depression anger vigour fatigue confusion elite sportspeople show low tension depression confusion high vigour unsuccessful sportspeople show high tension depression fatigue confusion low vigour

16 THE SELF-CONCEPT The SELF-CONCEPT
Personality THE SELF-CONCEPT The SELF-CONCEPT is the descriptive picture we have of ourselves including : physical attributes attitudes abilities roles emotions representing how we see ourselves which may not reflect reality or the way others see us SELF-ESTEEM the extent to which we value ourselves this may or may not match up to the expectations of others example : player may take pride in an ability to tackle hard the referee may see this as unnecessary aggression

17 STRUCTURE OF SELF-CONCEPT
Personality STRUCTURE OF SELF-CONCEPT

18 FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE SELF-CONCEPT
Personality FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE SELF-CONCEPT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXPERIENCES AND SELF-CONCEPT OBJECTIVE SOURCES photos records results mirrors SUBJECTIVE PERCEPTIONS reaction of others comparison with others identification with models

19 THE SELF-CONCEPT WHEEL
Personality THE SELF-CONCEPT WHEEL

20 ATTITUDES IN SPORT ATTITUDES
a combination of beliefs and feelings about : objects people situations (called attitude objects) this predisposes us to behave in a certain way towards them learned or organised through experience evaluative they lead us to think and behave positively or negatively about an attitude object tend to be deep seated and enduring but can change or be changed

21 FORMATION OF ATTITUDES

22 COMPONENTS OF ATTITUDE - THE TRIADIC MODEL
Attitudes COMPONENTS OF ATTITUDE - THE TRIADIC MODEL

23 PREJUDICE AND SPORT STEREOTYPES
Attitudes PREJUDICE AND SPORT STEREOTYPES PREJUDICE a prejudgement of a person, group, or situation usually based on inadequate information or inaccurate or biased information which reinforces stereotypes example : women are often excluded from male dominated sports clubs or events NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES women in strength, endurance and contact sports participation of the disabled in physical activity older age groups interest and ability at sport participation of particular ethnic groups in specific sports or positions within teams examples : the black quarterback in American Football the black sprinter the white skier / swimmer

24 POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ATTITUDES TO SPORT
POSITIVE ATTITUDES has a positive physical self-concept satisfaction from participation in sport believe sport promotes health success at sport willing to try new activities encouraged by significant others participates regularly opportunity to participate NEGATIVE ATTITUDES had negative experiences at sport have lifestyle which makes regular sport difficult find sport frustrating lack encouragement unlikely to participate in sport have a negative self concept find sport boring

25 ATTITUDE CHANGE BY PERSUASION AND COGNITIVE DISSONANCE
Attitudes ATTITUDE CHANGE BY PERSUASION AND COGNITIVE DISSONANCE PERSUASIVE COMMUNICATION the person must pay attention understand accept retain the message being given the coach must be expert be trustworthy the message must be clear be unambiguous be balanced between emotion and logic be balanced between pros and cons COGNITIVE DISSONANCE the person must be consistent between cognitive affective behavioural components the person must be consistent between different elements cognitive dissonance occurs hence attitudes must change if two factual elements of attitude conflict example : the smoker who knows that smoking is bad for health

26 MEASUREMENT OF ATTITUDES
BY OBSERVATION related to actual events as they are happening difficult to quantify or measure open to interpretation by observer USING PHYSIOLOGICAL TESTS indicators such as blood pressure skin conductivity brain activity (ECG) can be interpreted to indicate telling the truth about an attitude object measurable independent of observer but takes a long time to set up requiring special apparatus QUESTIONNAIRES only as good as the questions asked measurable using Thurstone scale Likert scale Osgood’s Semantic Differential Scale

27 MOTIVES AND MOTIVATORS
Motivation MOTIVES AND MOTIVATORS MOTIVATORS the reasons why sportspeople think and behave as they do THEORIES

28 INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
INTRINSIC MOTIVATION

29 EXTRINSIC REWARDS AND INTRINSIC SOURCES
Motivation EXTRINSIC REWARDS AND INTRINSIC SOURCES INTRINSIC SOURCES EXTRINSIC REWARDS

30 MAJOR MOTIVES FOR YOUTH SPORT PARTICIPATION fun being with friends
Motivation MAJOR MOTIVES FOR YOUTH SPORT PARTICIPATION fun being with friends thrills excitement success developing fitness improving skills being good at it FOR ADULT SPORT PARTICIPATION health factors weight loss fitness self-challenge feeling better

31 THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION
DISADVANTAGES adding extrinsic reward to a situation which already provided intrinsic motivation decreases the intrinsic motivation eventually replacing it so when rewards are no longer available interest in the situation (sports activity) reduces EXPLANATIONS the reward acts as a distraction to the sports person’s intrinsic desire to work at his / her own pace rewards may turn play into work relationships with the person giving rewards might change the nature of the activity changes people like to determine their own behaviour rewards may make them feel that someone else is in charge APPLICATION OF EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION to attract youngsters to an activity to revive flagging motivation to help a sportsperson over a bad period in training to provide information about levels of achievement and competence

32 DEVELOPING AND ENHANCING MOTIVATION
MOTIVATION IS A COMBINATION OF personal characteristics situational aspects MOTIVATION IS HIGHEST WHEN the performer is keen to participate the performer is keen to learn the performer is keen to perform the performer is keen to perform effectively when the motivational climate is right when the training programme is interesting and varied MOTIVATION IS REDUCED BY routine competition between motives PEOPLE have multiple motives share motives have unique motivational profiles need variation in training and competition need variation in intensity and competitiveness need structured coaching and teaching environments MOTIVES CHANGE OVER TIME TEACHERS AND COACHES ARE IMPORTANT MOTIVATORS

33 ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION
the drive to achieve success for its own sake related to competitiveness persistence striving for perfection influenced by personality factors need to achieve need to avoid failure situational factors probability of success incentive value of success NEED TO ACHIEVE (NACH) Tendency to approach success (Ts) this personality type likes a challenge likes feedback is not afraid of failure has high task persistence NEED TO AVOID FAILURE (NAF) Tendency to avoid failure (Taf) this personality type avoids challenges does not take risks often gives up does not want feedback

34 ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION - PERSONALITY COMPONENTS
someone with a high need to achieve will probably have a low need to avoid failure will choose difficult or demanding tasks which are more risky the hard route up a rock face B = someone with a high need to avoid failure will probably have a low need to achieve will choose tasks which are less risky and more easily achieved the easy route up the rock face

35 ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION - SITUATIONAL FACTORS
probability of success low (competing against the world champion) therefore strive very hard to win (incentive high) (will be highly chuffed if win) B = probability of success high (competing in local club match) therefore don’t need to try as hard to win (incentive low) (and expect to win easily) (not so pleasing)

36 AROUSAL AND DRIVE THEORY
Motivation AROUSAL AND DRIVE THEORY AROUSAL this is the level of inner drives which forces the sportsperson to strive to achieve it needs to be under control and at the right level depending on the task RETICULAR ACTIVATING SYSTEM RAS is a system within the brain which causes arousal extroverts have lower levels of intrinsic arousal than introverts hence extroverts seek situations of high arousal introverts seek low arousal situations DRIVE THEORY the higher the arousal level the higher the achievement / performance level the more likely that a well learned skill (a dominant response) will be produced

37 INVERTED U THEORY INVERTED U THEORY there is an optimum arousal level
Motivation INVERTED U THEORY INVERTED U THEORY there is an optimum arousal level if aroused more than this performance will decline OPTIMUM AROUSAL DEPENDS ON type of activity gross skills (weight lifting) require high arousal fine skills (snooker) require low arousal skill level of the performer the more skilful the performer the higher the optimum arousal could be personality of the performer the more extrovert the performer the higher the arousal likely for optimum performance whereas introverts would optimise performance at lower arousal levels

38 CATASTROPHE THEORY CATASTROPHE THEORY
Motivation CATASTROPHE THEORY CATASTROPHE THEORY here performance increases as arousal increases but if arousal gets too high a complete loss of performance occurs (the catastrophe) example : the golfer who tries too hard and completely misses the fairway from his drive at the 18th hole when in a winning position example : the gymnast who completely messes up her previously well executed routine in a national final anxiety affects arousal

39 GROUPS A GROUP IS two or more people interacting with one another
Groups and Teams GROUPS A GROUP IS two or more people interacting with one another so that each person influences and is influenced by the others has a collective identity and a sense of shared purpose a social aggregate involving mutual awareness and potential interaction with structured patterns of communication examples : crowd at a soccer match soccer team parents watching their children swim

40 Groups and Teams STEINER’S MODEL team success = potential for success - coordination and motivation problems actual productivity = potential productivity - losses due to faulty processes POTENTIAL FOR SUCCESS usually skilful individuals make the best team usually individual success (of team members) correlates with overall team success COORDINATION PROBLEMS (for players) occur if there is a high level of interaction between them if one player is being selfish or aggressive if a defence is not working together hence overall team performance suffers MOTIVATION PROBLEMS people seem to work less hard in a group than they do on their own example : in rowing, times of winning double sculls are often only slightly faster than single sculls this is social loafing ‘the Ringlemann Effect’ MOTIVATIONAL LOSSES individuals may not share the same motives, this leads to loss of group cohesion example : some players may play a game for social reasons, others in order to win

41 SOCIAL LOAFING, INTERACTION AND COHESION
Groups and Teams SOCIAL LOAFING, INTERACTION AND COHESION SOCIAL LOAFING individuals reduce their effort when in a group and can hide their lack of effort amongst the effort of other group members can be eliminated if the contribution of an individual can be identified as with player statistics (American Football, Rugby League, Cricket, Basketball) the need for interaction between players varies between sports cooperation between players can be significant COHESION selection of less skilled but more cooperative players the extent to which members of a group exhibit a desire to achieve common goals and group identity friendship groups can have negative effects cohesion has both task and social elements TASK COHESION people who are willing to work together whether or not they get on personally have the potential to be successful SOCIAL COHESION teams with high social cohesion but low task cohesion are less successful

42 COHESION CARRON’s CONCEPTUAL MODEL
Groups and Teams COHESION CARRON’s CONCEPTUAL MODEL four factors affect the development of cohesion ENVIRONMENTAL factors binding members to a team contracts, location, age, eligibility avoid star system, provide opportunities for socialising PERSONAL factors which members believe are important motives for taking part give opportunities for motives to be realised develop ownership feelings and social groupings within the team LEADERSHIP the behaviour of leaders and coaches coaches should use all leadership behaviours to influence different individuals TEAM factors relating to the group team identity, targets, member ability and role creation of team short and long-term goals rewarding of individual and team efforts

43 Leadership LEADERSHIP A LEADER can influence the behaviour of others towards required goals will influence effective team cohesion will help fulfil expectations of a team develops an environment in which a group is motivated rewarded and helped towards its common goals emergent leaders come from within a group because of their skill and abilities or through nomination / election prescribed leaders are appointed by a governing body or agency outside the group LEADERSHIP the ‘great man’ theory NATURE leaders are born not made leaders have relevant innate personality qualities social learning theory NURTURE leaders learn their skills through watching and imitating models leaders are formed throughout life by social or environmental influences observation of a model high status of a model imitation or copying of behaviour

44 FACTORS AFFECTING LEADER EFFECTIVENESS
Leadership FACTORS AFFECTING LEADER EFFECTIVENESS LEADERSHIP QUALITIES communication respect for group members enthusiasm high ability deep knowledge charisma LEADER CHARACTERISTICS THE SITUATION MEMBER’S CHARACTERISTICS

45 LEADERSHIP STYLE FIEDLER’S CONTINGENCY THEORY
there is a continuum between : task-centred leadership best for most favourable or least favourable situations person (or relationship) centred leadership best for moderately favourable situations favourableness depends on whether relationships are warm if the task has a clear structure if the leader is powerful pressure of time CHELLADURAI CONTINUUM between : autocratic authoritarian leader who makes all the decisions democratic leader who shares the decisions (with members of group or team) seeks advice is prepared to change his / her mind based on advice laissez faire leader who lets others make decisions each type can be effective depending on the situation

46 SITUATIONAL FACTORS SITUATIONAL FAVOURABLENESS
Leadership SITUATIONAL FACTORS SITUATIONAL FAVOURABLENESS if things are going well for the team or things are going badly (poor facilities, no support) then a leader needs to be TASK-ORIENTED if things are going moderately well then a leader needs to be PERSON-CENTRED TEAM SPORTS leader should be directive and organises and structures group tasks INDIVIDUAL SPORTS look for a person oriented leader SIZE OF GROUP affects leadership style the more members in a group the less likely individual needs will be taken into account DECISION NEEDS TO BE MADE QUICKLY autocratic style of leader TRADITION members resent change

47 MEMBER’S CHARACTERISTICS
Leadership MEMBER’S CHARACTERISTICS A GOOD LEADER will adapt to expectations knowledge experience of group members if group is hostile leader adopts autocratic style if group is friendly leader adopts more democratic person-centred style problems arise if strategies for preparation used by leader do not match group expectations

48 CHELLADURAI’S MULTIDIMENSIONAL MODEL
Leadership CHELLADURAI’S MULTIDIMENSIONAL MODEL

49 CHELLADURAI’S FIVE TYPES OF LEADER BEHAVIOUR
Leadership CHELLADURAI’S FIVE TYPES OF LEADER BEHAVIOUR TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION behaviour aimed at improving performance strong on technical and tactical aspects DEMOCRATIC APPROACH allows decisions to be made collectively AUTOCRATIC APPROACH personal authority least preferred if coach does not show he / she is aware of athlete’s needs and preferences SOCIAL SUPPORT concern shown for well-being of others preferred by youngsters REWARDS leader uses positive reinforcement

50 MENTAL PREPARATION FOR SPORT PERFORMANCE

51 GOAL SETTING GOAL STRUCTURE easily attained initially
Commitment GOAL SETTING GOAL STRUCTURE easily attained initially progressively more difficult training goals should be planned around overall goals short-term / medium-term / long-term goal setting as a means of managing anxiety / stress goal setting to increase motivation GOALS ARE EITHER outcome oriented towards the end result of the sporting activity example : to win a race performance oriented judged against other performances example : to beat best time process oriented improvement in techniques GOALS SHOULD BE stated positively specific to the situation and the performer time phased challenging achievable measurable negotiated between sportsperson and coach progressive, from short-term to long-term performance oriented rather than outcome oriented written down reviewed regularly (with downward adjustment if necessary - in the case of injury)

52 SMARTER GOALS (NCF) SPECIFIC directly related to sporting situation
Commitment SMARTER GOALS (NCF) SPECIFIC directly related to sporting situation MEASURABLE progress can be assessed ACCEPTED by both performer and coach REALISTIC challenging but within capability of performer TIME PHASED a date is set for completion EXCITING inspiring and rewarding to the performer RECORDED written down
