  1. Emotional Factors Impacting Performance Methods of Data Collection

  2. Lesson Aims… • Check emotional definitions. • Make sure disciplinary questions are complete. • To understand the benefits and limitations of SCAT tests and Disciplinary Records. • To understand what makes these two types of data collection valid and reliable.

  3. Task 1 • In pairs, come up with as many BENEFITS of using a SCAT test when assessing/monitoring your levels of anxiety. …What did you come up with?

  4. Benefits of a SCAT test… • No equipment required • Simple and quick to set up and conduct • More than one athlete can conduct the test at the same time • Can be conducted almost anywhere • Designed to measure specific emotions during performance • Consistent and set questions make it an accurate and reliable test as data cannot be misinterpreted • The test is recognised, which increases the validity of the data collected • Comparisons can be made against national norms if completed online. • Comparisons can be made against your different performances increasing the reliability of the test.

  5. Task 2 • In pairs, come up with any limitations of a SCAT test. What have you come up with?

  6. Limitations of a SCAT test… Assistant required to administer the test Performer needs to be able to complete and comprehend the data e.g. they need to be able to make useful comparisons. If not, the results could lack validity. Perform needs to be strict on themselves when answering the questions honestly. They therefore need to be motivated when completing the test.

  7. Disciplinary Record This method of data collection allows a performer to gather a picture of how their emotions have impacted on their performances and can compare their emotions in different performances.

  8. Here’s an example… By sharing this information with the performer they may be able to identify any patterns in their behaviour.

  9. Benefits of a Disciplinary Record… Enables the performer to reflect on their emotions during a variety of performances. Collects factual information which can be used to develop approaches to help. The coach and/or governing body can keep track of a player’s emotional well-being and potentially use this data when required. Limitations of a Disciplinary Record… Relies on the factual input of the referee/umpire to ensure the data is factual. This can demotivate a performer who may not agree with the decisions being made against them.

  10. What makes these methods of data collection valid and reliable? Test reliability refers to the degree to which a test is consistent and stable in measuring what it is intended to measure. Reliability will depend upon how strict the test is conducted and the individual's level of motivation to perform the test. Test validity refers to the degree to which the test actually measures what it claims to measure and the extent to which conclusions and decisions made on the basis of test scores are appropriate and meaningful.

  11. The following factors may have an impact on the results of a test (test reliability):1. The ambient temperature, noise level and humidity2. The amount of sleep the athlete had prior to testing3. The athlete's emotional state4. Medication the athlete may be taking5. The time of day6. The athlete's caffeine intake7. The time since the athlete's last meal8. The test environment - surface (track, grass, road, gym)9. The athlete's prior test knowledge/experience10. Accuracy of measurements (times, distances etc.)11. Is the athlete actually applying maximum effort in maximal tests12. Inappropriate warm up13. People present14. The personality, knowledge and skill of the tester15. Athlete's clothing/shoes16. Surface on which the test is conducted17. Environmental conditions - wind, rain, etc

  12. What should I now be able to do/know/explain? Can I define six features associated with the emotional factor? Do I understand how I would complete a SCAT test and a Disciplinary Record? Do I understand the benefits of both methods? Do I understand the limitations? Can I explain how, at least two emotional features, could impact my performance? Next lesson… Approaches to develop the emotional factor. Monitoring and evaluating.
