Y12 - Social Facilitation






Tasks:
1. Draw the Drive Theory graph.  Plot on it with an 'x' where the effect of an audience, and therefore increased arousal to produce a dominant response would be for the following different scenarios:

  • Introvert v Extrovert
  • Beginner (cognitive/associative) v Expert (autonomous)
  • Simple skill v Complex skill
  • Gross skill v Fine skill

2. Consider a moment where a sports person has succeeded or failed in their sport.  It may be them winning an event or competition, or choking and not executing the skill effectively causing their side to lose or for them to be punished e.g. sent off.

Find a video of the event and link it to your answer on the Padlet.

Explain how the performer has been socially facilitated or inhibited based on the performance they have executed.
