Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper will examine select psycho-social theories and models that have broad relevance across the three majors in the BSHHP. In doing so it will provide a mode of theoretical analysis that is complementary but alternative to the most prominent disciplinary approaches within each of the three majors (e.g., HPSCI: physiology, performance analysis, and psycho-motor learning, HEALT: sociology, health promotion, and communication, SDCOA: sociology and pedagogy). In doing so, the paper ensures an interdisciplinary aspect to the degree, while focusing on psycho-social theories and models of relevance to working as a professional in sport, active recreation, exercise and health. The paper addresses topics such as confidence and motivation, goal setting, resilience, leadership and group dynamics with a focus on comparing and contrasting how these psycho-social phenomena have been theorised, studied and applied in the contexts of sport, health and human performance.
