Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback01:24

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem: self-efficacy,...

Impression Management Techniques III: Aligning Actions

Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...
Social Scripts02:10

Social Scripts

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter), the opening...
Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about the way you...
Role of Shaping in Operant Conditioning01:19

Role of Shaping in Operant Conditioning

Shaping is a technique used in operant conditioning to train complex behaviors by rewarding successive approximations toward the target behavior. This method is necessary because organisms are unlikely to perform complex behaviors spontaneously. Instead, shaping breaks down the desired behavior into small, manageable steps.
The steps involved in shaping begin with reinforcing any response that resembles the desired behavior. For example, parents might praise a child for picking up one toy. As...
Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Fit individuals improve performance in sustained high-intensity exercise through developing a performance template. This learning process, driven by increased confidence, takes longer than six trials to complete.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Sports Science
  • Human Performance

Background:

  • Energy expenditure during high-intensity exercise is influenced by multiple factors.
  • Athletic populations utilize a pre-exercise conceptual model, or template, to manage energy expenditure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically observe the development of the performance template in fit individuals with limited experience in sustained high-intensity exercise.
  • To understand how novice exercisers adapt their energy expenditure patterns during self-paced time trials.

Main Methods:

  • Four series of self-paced time trials were conducted: cycling (3 km and 10 km) and rowing (2 km).
  • Performance metrics included time and power output, with feedback on previous and current pace provided.
  • A training period was incorporated between rowing time trials to assess learning effects.

Main Results:

  • Consistent performance improvements were observed, averaging 6% over three trials and 10% over six trials.
  • Improvements correlated with increased power output early/mid-trial and higher perceived exertion at the end.
  • Despite adaptations, subjects did not replicate the energy expenditure patterns of elite athletes.

Conclusions:

  • Learning the performance template is linked to enhanced confidence in completing exercise without excessive exertion or injury.
  • The development of an effective performance template requires more than six exercise trials.
  • Confidence, rather than just physiological adaptation, appears key to mastering sustained high-intensity exercise patterns.
