Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
Who are significant others?
Model answer
Significant others are people whose opinion the performer values highly. Parents, coaches, teammates and partners are examples.
- 2
How can significant others in the crowd affect performance?
Model answer
A parent or coach watching can motivate a performer and raise effort. The same presence can raise evaluation apprehension and cause inhibition.
- 3
What is home-field advantage?
Model answer
Home-field advantage is the tendency for teams to perform better at their own ground. Home teams win more often than away teams in most sports.
- 4
Give three reasons for home-field advantage.
Model answer
Home players are familiar with the pitch and facilities. A supportive crowd raises the home team's confidence and motivation. Away teams suffer travel fatigue.
- 5
What happened to home advantage in football when matches were played behind closed doors in 2020?
Model answer
Studies found that home advantage was reduced when crowds were absent. Referees also showed less bias against away teams.
- 6
Why can a home crowd sometimes harm the home team?
Model answer
High expectations from a home crowd can raise evaluation apprehension. Players may choke under the pressure of performing in front of their own fans.
