If training leads to boredom you will lose motivation. If you are 'wound up' you are suffering from anxiety: you will feel tension in your body and this can prevent you from performing well. Feedback is information about the outcome of a performance and it can greatly affect future performances. Your personality can affect your choice of sports and performance: Extroverts are socially outgoing. They need high arousal levels to perform.
Dr. Cialdini mentions that there are different levels of fans and it’s more likely for the “highly identified” fans to blame situational factors such as weather and officiating to contribute to their team’s loss instead of dispositional factors such as that the other team was just better. In the same article, Dr. James Dabbs says, “They [fans] mentally project themselves into the game and experience the same hormonal surges athletes do” (McKinley). Furthermore, during a game, fans can go through physiological changes. In male fans, testosterone levels rise sharply if their team wins and drops just as steeply if they lose. This has to do with mirror neurons.
Panic is reversion to instinct. They may look the same, but they are worlds apart.” Added pressure can be influenced by a big crowd or being put in a critical situation. Sometimes it is not the game, but who is watching. Having an important figure in the crowd, like a scout or coach that the athlete is trying to impress has been known to increase the level of pressure causing athletes to have a poor performance. Over time we have witnessed instances on TV in major championships where athletes did not cope properly with the competition.
Self-serving bias is an error in attribution. Self-serving bias is when some people take credit for their successes but they blame the situation for their failures. Greenberg et al, Zuckerman believe that humans do this to raise self-esteem levels. Lau and Russel (1980) observed that there is a lot of SSB in American football (and by example many other competitive sports). In American football, coaches and players take pride in their wins, crediting the internal factors such as being in good shape and not external such as the weather.
Underdogs can only be created if there is a sense of competition. In films the underdog is often portrayed as a “loser” or weak, usually the people that can’t handle this criticism, quit. But the underdog overcomes despite not fitting in or being the best competitor. This in fact makes them very strong. In the movie Rudy, Rudy wants nothing more then a chance to be in the football game to make his parents proud.
The 1960’s popular culture includes things such as music, TV shows, films, radio, advertisements, fashion, hippies and drugs. All these popular culture in the 1960’s had provided negative and positive things to the society. Negative areas of popular culture were mainly problems with bad influence to the younger generation and how they would admire those great successors and treat them as guide lines for life. Some evidence to prove this point was that the criminal rates increased by 124% in the 1960’s. Just from these figures, we could see that there must be a source for this result, as many people say; it could be caused by the popular culture and the bad influence from it.
But being part of a team makes you feel part of something more and gets you closer to people you wouldn’t normally be around. When you are part of a team, you don’t want to let them down so you give your all and you do whatever to stay part of the team. If you get the opportunity to be a team caption, it gets you even more involved and makes you deal with the team as a whole and you gain leadership skills. 3. a. Athletes are a part of something more than the sport itself.
In terms of aggression this reward could come in many forms such as acceptance from a violent gang they want to be a part of or just attention from a parent or teacher. This theory is supported by Phillips who found that when boxing matches were shown on the television there was a clear correlation between that showing times are the increased rates of homicide soon after that time suggesting that after seeing aggressive behaviour on the television people are more inclined to act aggressively or with a stronger level of aggression leading to homicide. The suggestion that aggression is learnt from those around you explains why there is a large amount of variation of crime rates
Nonetheless, the technological advances also caused so unpleasant effects. There are many people who do not good at self-control will spend most of time in games and other things else, which is really bad to their eyes. This is a one of important reason why more and more people get nearsightedness. Moreover, pollution is another big effects of improvement of technology, for instance, pollution of automobile exhaust fumes, and noise of transport vehicle. These kinds of adverse effects are causing varieties bad contact ripple for which people are becoming idle, and it facilitated more people to have lower level of health.
In order to increase our self-image we enhance the status of the in- group, the group we belong to. We can also increase our self-image by discriminating and holding prejudiced views against the out-group, this dividence is called social categorization where these groups are noticeably divided and separated from others. In extension to the Social Theory, Tajfel states that the in-group will discriminate against the out-group to enhance their self-image, the in-group will generally seek out negative aspects of any and all out-group to be used as discrimination to ‘up-lift’ their in-group. Tajfel also proposed that both finding differences in out-groups and find similarities between themselves and their group. SODA: S/upporting Research Studies: The Social Identity Theory supports research and experience data in comparison to the study, this evidence can be seen every day in all aspects of social interaction, with ‘assumptions’ which is a form of social categorisation where you make quick judgements about people, mainly visual appearances with clothes, jewellery etc.
