John Wooden on Success
• Success is peace of mind, which is the direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming
![Page 8: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Self-Efficacy
• An expectancy concerning one’s ability to successfully engage in the behaviors that are required for goal attainment in a given situation or performance domain
• In other words…– Belief in your capacity to do what is necessary to
reach your goal.– Belief that you have the ability to achieve your
goal.
![Page 9: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Two Ways of Viewing Intelligence
• Intelligence is static – Fixed mindset or entity theory – Whatever you have is what you have
• Intelligence is acquired – Growth mindset or incremental theory– What you have is a product of what you have
developed along the way
![Page 10: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Examples of the Fixed Mindset
• "Imagination, creativity, and belief. You either have them or you don't."– Royal Bank of Scotland
• "Challenge doesn't create character, it reveals it."– Oppenheimer Funds
![Page 11: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Blackwell, Tresniewski, & Dweck (2007)
• Participants: Students entering Jr. High• Variables measured
– Mindset (fixed versus growth)– Motivational variables: learning (versus outcome
goals), beliefs about effort, helpless attitudes– Math grades
![Page 12: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Study 1 Results
• Mindset was significantly correlated with 7th & 8th grade math grades
• Students who endorsed the growth mindset were more likely to:– Pay more attention to learning as a goal– Believe that effort is necessary and effective in
achievement
![Page 13: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Study 1 Results (Continued)
• Students with learning goals and positive attitudes about effort:– Made fewer ability based attributions for setbacks
(e.g., “I failed because I’m stupid”)
• These motivational differences appeared to contribute to better performance in math
![Page 14: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Study 2 Results
• Manipulate mindset• Intervention: Eight 25-minute sessions with
the kids (experimental and control groups)• Both groups: sessions on brain basics and
study skills• Experimental group: sessions on how learning
changes the brain (control group sessions on memory and academics)
![Page 16: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Study 2 Results (Continued)
• Same correlations between mindset and motivational factors were found
• Those in the growth mindset group showed a change in math grades
![Page 17: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Dweck Study with 5th Graders
• Had students solve relatively straight-forward puzzles from an IQ test
• After successful completion, students received one of two types of praise:– Intelligence group: “You must be smart at this.”– Effort group: “You must have worked very hard.”
![Page 19: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dweck Study with 5th Graders (Continued)
• When given the choice to try a harder puzzle that they would “learn a lot from attempting”– Majority of intelligence group didn’t attempt– Most of effort group (90%) tried it
• Next, everyone failed on a hard puzzle• Showed different explanations for failure:
– Intelligence group: “I guess I’m not smart at this”– Effort group: “I guess I haven’t tried hard enough yet”
many were still enthusiastic about these puzzles
![Page 20: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Dweck Study with 5th Graders (Continued)
• All students again given opportunity to do puzzles as easy as the very first puzzles– Intelligence group: did about 20% worse– Effort group: did about 30% better
![Page 21: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Fixed Mindset: Intelligence is Static and Unchangeable
• Leads to a desire to look smart and a therefore a tendency to:– Avoid challenges– Give up easily– See effort as fruitless or worse– Ignore useful negative feedback– Feel threatened by the success of others– Peak early and not achieve full potential
![Page 22: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Growth Mindset: Intelligence is Developed
• Leads to a desire to learn and therefore a tendency to:– Embrace challenges– Persist in the face of setbacks– See effort as a path to mastery– Learn from criticism– Find lessons and inspiration in the success of others– Reach higher levels of achievement
![Page 23: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Principles of Self-Regulation1. From early life to adulthood, regulation by others
and the self (particularly through verbal instructions) act as powerful guides to behavior.
2. Operant behavior is a function of its consequences3. A positive reinforcer is a consequence that
maintains and strengthens behavior by its added presence.
4. A negative reinforcer is a consequence that strengthens behavior by being subtracted from the situation.

Principles of Self-Regulation(Continued)
5. Behavior that is punished will occur less often.6. An act that was reinforced but no longer is will
begin to weaken.7. Intermittent reinforcement increases resistance to
extinction.8. Most operant behavior is eventually guided by
antecedent stimuli, or cues, the most important of which are often self-directed statements.

Principles of Self-Regulation(Still Continued)
9. An antecedent can be a cue or a signal that an unpleasant event may be imminent. This is likely to produce avoidance behavior.
10. Through conditioning, antecedents come to elicit automatic reactions that are often emotional.
11. Many behaviors are learned by observing someone else (a model) perform the actions, which are then imitated.

Modifying Existing Antecedents
• Avoiding Antecedents• Narrowing Stimulus Control• Reconstruing Antecedents• Building in Pauses

Creating New Antecedents
• Thought Substitution• Establishing Environmental Stimulus Control
(similar to Narrowing Stimulus Control)• Precommitment and Programming

Sources of Positive Reinforcement
• From Things• From People• From Activities
![Page 58: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Selecting Positive Reinforcers
• What kinds of things do you like having?• What would be a nice present to get?• What activities do you enjoy most?• What are your hobbies?• What would you hate to give up?• What people do you like to be with?• What do you do to relax?

Selecting Positive Reinforcers (Continued)
• What behaviors do you do everyday (Premack Principle)
• What behaviors do you do instead of target behaviors?
• What would you buy with an extra $20, $50, or $100?
• What are your favorite fantasies or daydreams?

Effective Reinforcers
• Potent (strong enough)• Contingent
– Controllable

Using Reinforcers Effectively
• Contingencies and Contracts• Delayed versus Immediate Reinforcement• Verbal Self-Reinforcement• Token Economies• Using Others to Dispense Reinforcers• Imagined/Covert Reinforcement

Minimizing Relapses
• Recognize that lapses happen• Recognize that lapses are different from
relapses• Recognize the antecedents of high-risk
situations• Cope with high-risk situations• Counter the abstinence violation effect• Use the lapse as a learning experience
![Page 64: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Abstinence Violation Effect
• People engaging in this process…– feel guilty about a lapse.– excessively blame themselves for a lapse.– believe that the lapse indicates they don’t have
the necessary “willpower” to change.– give up trying to change.

Different Uses for Imagery (Continued)
• To etch good performances into memory• To imagine successes (high-light tape) • To prepare for performing• To regulate your emotions or state• To review and evaluate prior performances • To practice psychological skills• To complement goal setting
![Page 72: Unit 1: Psychological Skills Training I.Introduction II.Myths III.Sport Psychology Research IV.Terry Orlick’s Wheel of Excellence V.The Peak Performance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649d6c5503460f94a4c671/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Tips for Effective Imagery
• Relax before doing your imagery• Start simple and work your way up (the ability
to imagine is like a muscle: it gets stronger with practice)
• Focus on creating images that are vivid and controllable (Basic Training)
• Practice your imagery systematically (be consistent and persistent)
