- Aggression
- Aggressive-cue Hypothesis
- There are certain cues which cause a performer to respond in an aggressive way
- Frustration= increased arousal levels= aggression
- Certain cues for aggressive behaviour. Highly aroused + cues= aggression
- Aggression occurs as an opponent presents a genuine threat to the athlete
- Some people display premeditated aggression which is not always in response to a cue.
- Frustration-aggression Hypothesis
- It explains the link between aggression and frustration.
- Aggression only occurs when a person experiences frustration.
- It will occur when an athlete is prevented from reaching a goal they want to achieve
- Often see people acting aggressively when they arent frustrated.
- During frustration, other emotions can happen such as cry or give up.
- Frustration isn't always enough for aggression to occur
- During frustration, other emotions can happen such as cry or give up.
- Aggressive behaviour that is controlled within the laws of the game is seen as assertion.
- Assertion, instrumental or channelled aggression is preferable in sport, and pure aggression, or reactive aggression, should be discouraged.
- Instinct Theory
- Suggests that all humans have the tendency to act aggressively as it is a natural response.
- Sports provide an opportunity for athletes to act aggressively to release built up tension
- People are also aggressive outside of sport due to this.
- Social learning theory
- We learn aggressive behaviour from our environment
- Aggression is learnt behaviour
- If done my significant others, it is more likely to be replicated
- Doesn't account for a person's biological make up.
- Research doesn't make it clear if this is a long term effect.
- Aggression: intent to harm outside the rules of the sport.
- Assertion: forceful behaviour within the laws of the event
- Aggressive-cue Hypothesis
