Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
Which physiological measures can be used to measure arousal?
Model answer
A coach can measure heart rate, breathing rate, sweating and muscle tension. Stress hormone levels in blood or saliva can also be measured.
- 2
What are the advantages of physiological measures?
Model answer
Physiological measures are objective and hard to fake. They give precise numerical data.
- 3
What are the disadvantages of physiological measures?
Model answer
Physiological measures need equipment and can be hard to use during competition. Readings can also rise because of exercise rather than anxiety.
- 4
How can observation be used to measure anxiety?
Model answer
A trained observer records signs of anxiety before and during performance. Signs include fidgeting, pacing and repeated errors.
- 5
What are the advantages and disadvantages of observation?
Model answer
Observation happens in the real setting without questioning the performer. Observation is subjective and cannot see cognitive anxiety.
- 6
How are questionnaires used to measure anxiety?
Model answer
The performer answers standard questions about their feelings. Answers are scored to measure anxiety.
