According to some big fat handbook on sport psychology, there are two main orientations that people can have in relation to physical activity:
Task orientation and ego orientation.
See if they are familiar..
In ego orientation, the aim is to outperform others.
In task orientation, the aim is to develop mastery.
Here are some rough notes on the two:
There is a positive correlation between flow and task orientation. You've probably heard about flow already. There is also a link between continued enjoyment, length of participation in sport and task orientation. This contrasts with ego-orientation.
During activities, people can move from task to ego orientation, which is a little confusing maybe.
Players experience higher affectation levels if they are task oriented, generally.
There is a positive correlation between anxiety and ego-orientation.
Ok, that's 30 of 900 pages done..
What I'd like to know is, is there a positive correlation between academic level and size of hand?
