| description | This study examined the effectiveness of approach and avoidance
strategies for coping with stress experienced during sports performance. Twenty
two undergraduate female students whose ages ranged from 20 to 40 years
participated in this experiment They were randomly assigned to four
experimental groups to perform two different tasks (approach and avoidance
tasks), With two coping strategies (approach and avoidance strategies) and two
control groups The approach task was to putt fifteen golf balls on a man-made
putting mat along a straight path, up an incline slope to reach a target hole. The avoidance task was to putt fifteen golf balls into an easy target while music and
noise was played to distract subjects from the task. Subjects were then trained in
either approach (mental rehearsal) or avoidance (attentional focus) strategies. The
relationship between approach and avoidance coping strategies, the nature of the
task, the appraisal of perceived demand and perceived capability, and their
performance were examined. |
