Personality and motivation of sports performance
Personality is the sum of characteristics that make a person unique. The narrow band theory states there is two types of personality, type A and type B. Type a have a strong urge for competition, works fast, likes control, strong desire to succeed. Type B are none competitive, works more slowly, and does not enjoy control. Some people believe that personality affects sports performance so im going to show you various theories that could back this up.
Trait theory: the trait theory suggests that individuals have certain characteristics that will partly determine how they behave. It states all behaviour is innate and genetically programmed .There are four subsections that these characteristics are split into
Introverts tend to be shy and reserved, prefer isolation from others, and become aroused quicker than extroverts. Introverts tend to be more aroused by certain events Such as Rory Mcllroy as golf is a sport you don’t really have to socialised and is always competing in events.
Extroverts are outgoing and sociable becomes aroused slower than introverts and affiliates well to other people. Extroverted people perform best in conditions of high arousal hence why i chose Freddie burns as my example because hes put in high arousal conditions all the time, rugby is also a sociable sport.
Neurotic display extreme and unpredictable emotions such as mood swings, their moods are unreliable, they experience high degrees of stress and their recovery from stress is slow. I chose Eric Cantona as an example as he changed his mood instantly hence kicking a fan
Stable display predictable emotions in appropriate situations, there moods are predictable, they tend not to experience intense stress and their recovery from stress is rapid. I chose Tyson gay because his moods are always predictable, win a race happy, and lose a race sad. And if he did
