purpose in order to make it socially acceptable.
- Displacement of responsibility: distorting the relationship between actions and the
effects
they cause
- Advantageous comparison: perception of human conduct is influenced by
what it is compared against.
- Diffusion of responsibility: a person has lower inclination towards responsibility as
they
feel that others are also equally responsible in the group
Belongingness theory: individuals have an evolved, and robust, need for
closeness, and social belonging.

three universal, innate and psychological needs: competence, autonomy, and
psychological relatedness

- Process: These are the things that you need to do if you are to achieve the
performance factors.

Unit 01 - Introduction to sport
psych Textbook Chapter 1
- Sport and exercise psychology: Interdisciplinary scientific and applied field that
embraces the integration of sport science and psychological knowledge.
- Medical model reduces or eliminates pathological mental behaviours by
identification of abnormal or problematic behaviours
- Positive Psychology is more concerned with understanding processes that allow
people and groups to thrive.
- Can be thought of as an examination of the subjective experience: well-
being, satisfaction, fulfillment, pleasure, and happiness.
- Resiliency: Process of positive adaptation in a situation of adversity or risk;
Ericsson and colleagues (1993) says it takes approx. 10,000 hours of deliberate
practice to develop expert abilities.
- Teaching: Most sport and exercise psychology specialists are employed in
Universities / Colleges; they increase awareness of the field, teach basic
principles of sport and exercise psychology, and work closely with clients to
enhance behaviours and well-being
- Research: At the Universities in areas of personality, motivation, anxiety, stress
and coping, group cohesion, aggression and moral behaviour, youth sport, aging
and physical activity, leadership and coaching,body image, mental health, and
more.
- Consulting: Third major role is to help teams, individuals and organizations
improve performance, change physical activity behaviour, manage sport and life
demands, and enhance well-being.

- Ethics is concerned with right and wrong as they relate to human behaviour.
Consultants have an ethical responsibility to assist athletes and do no harm. (see
Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists Table 1.4)
Predicted Trends and Issues In Canada:
- Increased Specialization and Diversification: Federal and provincial
health initiatives and policies combined with knowledge
development will increase specialization and diversification allowing
for an expansion into other clinical settings such as study and
treatment of cancer, stroke, spinal cord injuries, and parkinson’s
disease.
- Increased Research and Teaching Opportunities: Most colleges and
universities offer sport and exercise psychology courses. Number and
types of courses continue to grow at both undergrad and grad level.
Major focus on increased funding for health-related research
- Increased Demands for Training in Clinical and Counselling
Psychology: Most universities offer kinesiology and exercise programs
with a focus on teaching and research, rather than a sport and
exercise science program. Which means children have to do an
undergrad in one, and supplement their training by taking appropriate
counselling courses for psychology.
- Ethics and Competencies: Increased pressure on practitioners to
adhere to professional standards of conduct. Regulatory bodies are
more vigilant in monitoring the use of the title “sport
psychologist” or “exercise psychologist” they will need to be
clinically trained in both sport and psychology.
- Working in Performance Enhancing Teams: Increased demand by
national and provincial sport organizations. Second demand for them
to work in collaboration with other sport science professionals such as
biomechanists, nutritionists, and physiologists.
- Online Consulting: guidelines to be followed by the CPA
- Consulting with Athletes and Exercisers with Disabilities: Lowest rate of
physical activity participation continue to be among individuals with
disabilities, increased demand for them to involve these individuals
to improve overall health.
- Knowledge Translation: Bridge the gap between research evidence
and professional practice in sport and exercise psych. Traditional
knowledge translation methods have been top-down nature
including university courses, textbooks, coaching manuals and
workshops. Partnerships are required among researchers, educators
and practitioners are required.
