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 LEARNING THEORY
• social approval or disapproval
• explains behaviour in terms of the reaction
determines our responses
to specific situations
– behaviour is reinforced or
• we learn to deal with situations by
penalised
observing others
• or by observing the results of our own
VICARIOUS CONDITIONING
behaviour on others
• the learning of emotional responses
• and by modelling our own behaviour on
through observational learning
what we have seen
• example :
– athletes learn behaviour by watching
– learning to become angry after a
others
valid referee decision has gone
against him / her by watching
other players do the same

Motivation
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

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
Previous
PEOPLE
• have multiple motives
• share motives
• have unique motivational profiles
• need variation in training and

• need variation in intensity and

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
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
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

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

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

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

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

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

PERSONAL
• factors which members believe are important
