``` Primary Appraisal Secondary Appraisal Experiences Coping Style Outcome ```
39
4 types of stressors
- Acute -> Chronic - Expected vs. Unexpected - Competitive vs. Non-competitive - Organizational
40
4 Stress, Emotion, and Coping Outcomes from Research
1.Stressful & important events can be perceived as threatening or challenging 2.Appraisals are related to control beliefs challenge = within control threat = uncontrollable 3.Emotions are strongly related to appraisals challenge = pleasant threat = unpleasant 4.Emotions are related to satisfaction directly & indirectly (through coping strategies)
41
What 3 Factors Predict how well we cope?
Gender Individual Factors Social/Environmental Factors
42

-Males and females cope differently -Why? Role constraint theory – based on varying society roles Socialization theory – different strategies for same situations
43
What individual factors affect coping?
-Age, development, and expertise more proficient athletes use task-oriented coping -Personality optimistic athletes more likely to attain performance goals and experience well-being -Cognitive appraisals of emotion trait anxious athletes more likely to use disengagement-oriented coping
44
What social/environmental factors affect coping?
-Coaching and teammate interactions influence emotions, regulation, and coping Teammates emotions are contagious, which can be good or bad -Important to effectively regulate emotions Think of those around you -Coaches emotions and actions can directly affect athletes’ emotion before and during competition Think of the achievement environment

47

- worry and emotional stress - negative thoughts/self-talk - reduced ability to concentrate or focus - could be due to worry about meeting demands of sport, failing, pressure
Mental: Cognitive Anxiety
49

Physical: Somatic Anxiety
50

51
“transient emotional state characterized by feelings of apprehension and heightened autonomic nervous system activity”

54

Neurotrophic
64
* # of neurotransmitters available is related to our mood-Which is affected by exercise!! * Lack of human brain research impacts conclusiveness of findings
