Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is competitiveness in sport?
Model answer
Competitiveness is sport-specific achievement motivation. It is the desire to strive for success in competition.
- 2
How is competitiveness linked to competitive trait anxiety?
Model answer
Performers high in competitive trait anxiety tend to see competition as threatening. Their fear can reduce their competitiveness.
- 3
Why is competitiveness described as sport-specific?
Model answer
A performer may be highly competitive in one sport but not another. Achievement motivation depends on the setting.
- 4
How can a performer show high NAch in one situation and high NAF in another?
Model answer
Motivation changes with the task, opponent and pressure. A player may relish league matches but fear a cup final.
- 5
How can coaches develop achievement motivation in young children?
Model answer
Coaches can give early success, praise effort and set realistic goals. Children then associate sport with achievement rather than failure.
- 6
Why should coaches of young children focus on effort rather than results?
Model answer
Effort is controllable, so children feel they can improve. A focus on results can make children fear failure.
