Acknowledgment Vs Non Tattoo

502 Words3 Pages

I was fortunate to attend an undergraduate psychology program that strongly encouraged research. During my sophomore year, I was involved in my first study whereby we investigated whether or not a visible tattoo affected the credibility of an expert witness. Within this project, I had the opportunity to recruit and run subjects, enter data and analyze data, and write-up the results. The results indicated that the credibility of an expert witness with a visible tattoo was not skewed. However, participants who did had a tattoo viewed the tattooed expert witness as slightly more credible than the non tattooed expert witness. Overall, my first research experience provided the foundation for my research interests.
Based on the abovementioned research experience, I became interested in how individuals’ decision-making and judgment can be …show more content…

In addition, it reinforced my desire to research and work with athletes. As such, my research interests shifted towards program development, whereby I could create curriculum that would directly help athletes. For my dissertation, I have proposed to develop a program that aims to assist athletes with an unexpected transition out of sports, which I am tentatively scheduled defend on January 15th 2018. The program utilizes an empirically-based, holistic model that focuses on social support, identity enhancement, occupational skill development, holistic wellness skill development, as well as maintenance and generalization post- program completion.

    “The culture of college sports may inhibit some student-athletes from seeking help to address issues such as anxiety, depressive symptoms, burnout, the stress of team or individual expectations, and the everyday stress of dealing with relationships, academic demands, and life away from home” (McQuade, 2021). The demand on student-athletes is tremendous. The need to perform in front of hundreds of thousands of people in order to bring success to their school’s name does not allow much room for relaxation. These sports teams require many hours throughout the week to practice and prepare for games that will be nationally televised. This extra time commitment causes student athletes to lose study and social time.

    Summary I really enjoyed reading this book, and took a lot from it for my current life in sports. I realized, while reading, that I do need to take ten minutes every day to take a breather, relax and reflect on my own life goals. It made me think back to a time when I was down to where I wanted to quit, and then reviewed why I’m doing what I’m doing. As a sports competitor you have to be mentally, physically, and emotionally tough, but at the same time we all should take time to reflect and recuperate.

  • The Negative Impact Of Competitive Sports On Children

    1262 Words  | 6 Pages

    Children experience more harmful negative impacts, rather than beneficial positive ones, such as being at a constant risk of severe injury, wanting to opt out of sports early, and being under high levels of stress and anxiety. These impacts could lead to children being injured for an extended amount of time, children being inactive and unfit later in life, children dropping out of school, and many other catastrophic circumstances that children should not have to put up with. The opposing side suggests that children who participate in competitive sports experience positive impacts, such as staying healthy and in shape, and having positive psychological benefits. In some instances, these impacts may be true, however families with a child athlete opted for fast food, ready-made meals more than those of families who did not have a child athlete. Also, while competitive sports provide some psychological benefits, it has also been proven that they can cause stress, anxiety, and ultimately, attrition for the young athlete.
