THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL
According to Amezdroz et al (2010) “The individual
level is involved with our own attitudes, values and
beliefs, particularly those related to stereotypes and
prejudices” (p. 462).
“The individual level encourages us to think critically
about our perceptions of exercise, sport and physical
activity” (Amezdroz et al, 2010, p. 462).
Individual level
 Behaviour – Desirable, undesirable
 Participation
 Beliefs – culture, family, school

safety needs, needs of love affection and
belongingness, needs for esteem, needs for self
actualisation (preferences)
 Body image and self concept, self esteem, the
importance of a positive body image (attitudes)
 Personal beliefs, values and attitudes (behaviour)
Personal influences that may have effected your
performance
 Skill level
 Sport type
 Contact vs no contact
 Social vs competitive
 Genetics
Interpersonal level
“The interpersonal level is concerned with our
interactions with others, our relationships with peers
and others, as well as our patterns on influence and
how these might affect access and equity to exercise,
sport and physical activity” (Amezdroz et al, 2010, p.
462).

Individual level
When I found out we were playing volleyball for interschool sport, I wasn’t too pleased to say the
least. Volleyball is not my first preference of sport but, touch football was already full. Amezdoz et
al (2010) stated that personal preference to a sport has an impact of our participation. The team
that I had joined had been playing for years, therefore were fairly skilled at the sport. This
effected my self esteem as I wasn’t too confident in playing the sport, this created feelings of self
doubt and made me feel inferior (Amezdroz, 2010, p. 471). Discovering the dress requirements to
play the sport further affected my self confidence as I felt uncomfortable. This impacted on my
self esteem and confidence. Amezdroz et al (2010) stated that an individual’s personal beliefs,
values and attitudes are essential determinants in our participation; this is evident as my
participation in the team dropped. I avoided the ball as much as possible and was always first to
sub. Due to this, my enjoyment in the sport as my self confidence was low which affected my self
efficacy and belief that I could play with the team.
Amezdroz et al (2010) supports this as they state that “our competence and efficacy beliefs relate to
our personal achievement” (p. 475). This experience has affected my participation on an
individual level as it states that the level effects our participation as it is involved with our own
attitudes, values and beliefs and we how we critically perceive ourselves in sport or physical
activity (Amezdroz et al, 2010, p. 462). This experience has affected my participation as I feel that
the sport does not portray a positive body image on females and I did not value the game to begin
with. Amezdroz et al (2010) supports this as they state that “a positive body image is a significant
factor in our participation in physical activity” (p. 472). They also state that an individual must
have strong beliefs, values and attitudes toward the sport in which to participate. It was for this
reason that I avoided competition and training days as much as possible.
