This essay will look at the trait centred view, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and Weiner’s attribution theory (Weiner, 1985) and how they can be applied to Sport and Fitness environments. One view of motivation is that the personality and characteristics of an individual will determine their motivation. This is known as the trait centred view. Motivation is thought to come from inside of the individual. In the trait centred view, ‘psychologists would agree that the motivated behaviour is largely determined by personality, needs and goals of the athlete, exerciser or employee’ (Weinberg and Gould, cited in Rea, 2009, p.79).
Infants and parents are seen together so that their patterns of interaction can be considered.

Title Tess Kay & Steven Bradbury (2009): Youth sport volunteering: developing social capital?, Sport, Education and Society, 14:1, 121-140 Topic This paper analyses the use of sport volunteering within the youth and how it contributes and affects the development of social capital. In reviews conducted with the UK, it emerged that social capital is a key theme in developing sporting policies. This paper outlines that by providing young people with a structured sports volunteering programme, they can be equipped with the skills for volunteering while creating opportunities for ‘social connectedness’ through networking. It also examines the effectiveness of these programmes on participants, how readily these participants would commit to future voluntary community activities and if continual support would be beneficial to the wider community. The paper’s research and findings along with the programmes examined are all based in the UK.

As a learner in the field psychology I will be awarded the opportunity to study or explore various areas in this field that will allow me to implement the findings or what I have learned to the work that I do with clients. I am currently employed as the foster care and adoption supervisor with the Department of Social Services so I deal with youth as well as adults who are facing many different problems or issues in today’s society. Continuing my education and gaining more knowledge in the field of psychology, with a specialization in child and adolescent development, will enable me to add to the skills and knowledge I have already obtained (through undergraduate studies in Psychology and Early Childhood as well as experience) and allow me to better serve the clients I work with on a daily
Drop Down and Give Me Twenty! The purpose of this paper is to analyze the brain structures and functions associated with the motivation to exercise and to evaluate the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the motivation to engage in exercise. Motivation is a psychological feature that propels an organism to action toward a desired goal and elicits, controls, and sustains certain goal directed behaviors. Motivation reinforces a behavior to reach a desired goal.

Elite athletes have the advantage, sometimes, of having college coming to seek them. The Athlete’s Guide to Career Planning has an excellent of worksheet and instructive points that can help athletes make good college decisions.

Having said this, I find that the information given in much of the career research read for this course in sport transition has centered on the work of John Holland. Granted, John Holland’s Self Directed Search materials are in a quick and easy way to understand career selection.

Psychology of Sport, Physical Activity and Exercise Essay One: TITLE: ‘The Inverted ‘U’, IZOF and Catastrophe Model have been used to examine how anxiety affects athletic performance’ ‘Discuss and critically evaluate how these theories have been utilised in the sporting environment’. By: James Cowley In this essay a point to look at three different theories with regards to anxiety, arousal and an athlete’s sports performance will be completed. ‘The relationship between anxiety and sport performance has attracted much research attention over the past 20 years, and researchers have tried to clarify this relationship by advancing several models and theories’. (Woodman, T. et al, 2003) The origin of the inverted U theory or by it’s other name the optimal arousal model emerges from two experimental psychologists, Yerkes and Dodson. What was found was that experiments conducted on laboratory animals in 1908 led them to a discovery of a relationship between the levels of arousal in the animals and its effect upon their performance.
