During this course you will be asked to respond to discussions using peer-reviewed articles that you find. Also, you will be required to find research articles to support your analysis in assignments. Capella has provided a Library Guide to assist you in this process.
Discussion
Answer the following questions for this discussion. The articles are linked in the Resources:
- Using Anshel’s (2012) multidimensional components (pp. 11–13), where would you classify Triplett?
- Where would you classify Yerkes and Dodson? What is the theory behind Triplett’s and Yerkes and Dodson’s original work?
- If you cannot find the specific theory, what do you think the study is based on, and why (what is your evidence)?
- Based on a review of more recent literature, are these articles still relevant today?
- Do they have application in your favorite sport? If so, how?
