1

Global Self-Esteem

Reflects on how a person feels about themselves; capturing ones self worth and value

New cards
2

General Self-Concept

How we see and define ourselves. Ex; I am a hard worker

New cards
3

Perceptual Dimension

An individual's perception of their body, including their size, shape, and appearance.

New cards
4

Cognitive Dimension

An individual's thoughts and beliefs about their body, such as their level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their body.

New cards
5

Affective/Emotional Dimensions

An individual's emotional response to their body, including their feelings of confidence or insecurity.

New cards
6

Behavioral Dimension

An individual's actions and behaviors related to their body, such as diet and exercise habits.

New cards
7

The Four Dimensions of Body Image

Perceptual, Cognitive, Affective or Emotional, and Behavioral

New cards
8

What two factors directly influence global self-esteem in the Exercise and Self-Esteem Model?

Physical activity (physical self concept) and physical acceptance (body image)

New cards
9

Which is more relevant to self-esteem, objective or subjective changes in fitness, and why?

Subjective changes in fitness is more relevant to one’s self esteem due to the fact that people have a more pronounced effect on self-esteem as they pertain more to personal perceptions and feelings of well-being.

New cards
10

Explain why the impact of physical self-concept on physical activity participation might be greater than that of global self-esteem.

People who have a positive perception of their Physical skills and attributes will be likely more to engage in physical activity than those with negative physical self perceptions.

New cards
11

Describe the process by which self-efficacy might influence body image and physical self-concept in the exercise setting

Higher self-efficacy influences body image/self-concept positively. When one thinks they can perform a task successfully, exercise-higher self efficacy-enhanced body image

New cards
12

Describe the process by which physical self-concept may influence body image and global self-esteem in the exercise setting

Physical self-concept shapes how people view their abilities and appearance. Positive self-concept boosts body image and self-esteem, encouraging exercise. Negative self-concept diminishes body image and self-esteem, reducing exercise motivation.

New cards
13

Explain why, for some people, an exercise program may have little to no effect on global self-esteem

An exercise program might not boost global self-esteem for some due to factors like unrealistic expectations or pre-existing negative beliefs.

New cards
14

Explain the relationship between exercise behavior and body image and the measures that are used.

Exercise behavior affects body image positively through physical improvements and achievements. Body image impacts exercise behavior by driving individuals to pursue a desired physique or weight. The four measurement are Perceptual measure, Cognitive measure, Affective measure, and Behavioral measure

New cards
15

Describe the three possible mechanisms of change within the exercise and self-esteem model.

Improved physical fitness or performance

Increased self-efficacy

Improvements in physical self-concept

New cards
16

What is the difference between general self-concept and global self-esteem?

General self-concept simply reflects how we see or define ourselves (“who I am”), self-esteem constitutes the affective consequences of the self-concept (“how I feel about who I am”).

New cards
17

Perceptual Measures

The level of accuracy of a person's estimations about the size of his or her own body parts or the body as a whole.

New cards
18

Cognitive Measures

typically consist of questionnaires that assess an individual's level of satisfaction, attitudes, beliefs, and thoughts about his or her own body shape, size, and function.

New cards
19

Affective Measures

Assess feelings such as worry, shame, anxiety, comfort, embarrassment, and pride in relation to the body

New cards
20

Behavioral Measures

Assess the “frequency” with which one engages in behaviors that might be indicative of body image disturbance.

New cards
21

Explain what is meant by the “bidirectional relationship” between exercise and self-esteem, and exercise and self-concept.

Engaging in exercise boosts self-esteem. Higher self-esteem can motivate exercise. Exercise improves body image and self-worth. Positive self-concept encourages physical activity. They influence each other bidirectionally.

New cards
22

Define stress

A state of disharmony or threatened homeostasis, it’s what we feel/experience when we face challenges.

New cards
23

Eustress

Positive type of stresses Ex; marriage Graduation, job, Promotion

New cards
24

Distress

Negative types of stress Ex: exams , deadline, divorce

New cards
25

How is homeostasis distinguished from allostasis?

Homeostasis aims to maintain stability, while Allostasis allows for flexibility and adaptation to different situations.

New cards
26

What role do appraisals play in the stress response?

How we think about stress, and how they influence how we respond to stress.

New cards
27

How is the concept of allostatic load important in the context of stress?

The cumulative effects that chronic stress has on mental and physical health. It involves the interaction of different physiological systems that respond to stressors.

New cards
28

What implications does allostatic load have for health?

Elevated Heart Rate and blood pressure-decreased immune function, memory loss, depression, and anxiety.

New cards
29

What is the main prediction of the cross-stressor adaptation hypothesis?

Exercise training can develop cross stressor tolerance through two processes: habituation and sensitization.

New cards
30

How is absolute reactivity different from relative reactivity when examining the stress response?

The absolute value of HR during stress and A change in HR during stress from a baseline value.

New cards
31

Can exercise training provide any useful benefits in the recovery from stressors? If so, in what ways?

It can help people feel less stressed in general when they are physically active as opposed to being sedentary. Exercise yields relief from psychosocial stressors

New cards
32

What is the expected pattern of the stress response in someone considered “physiologically tough”? Describe this pattern in terms of both the appraisal and neuroendocrine aspects.

Regular exposure to exercise (stressor): Increased capacity for catecholamines in CNS
Reduced resting catecholamines. Faster elimination of catecholamines after the stressor is gone Less cortisol released (HPA axis)

New cards
33

Homeostasis

The internal equilibrium and the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

New cards
34

Allostasis

considers a wider range of functioning of coping and adaptation systems, taking into account various factors such as time of day, internal needs, and external demands.

New cards
35

Habituation

A decreased magnitude of response to a familiar challenge

New cards
36

Sensitization

An unfamiliar/threatening stressor results in the release of this larger volume of hormones, which allows for greater response to the stressor

New cards
37

Primary appraisal

Assessing a situation as important yet potentially demanding

New cards
38

Secondary appraisal

Can lead to a revision of the initial appraisal. Question what options are available and how viable they might be.

New cards
39

Typical stress response

Secretion of hormones catecholamines and cortisol initiate "fight-or-flight" response, prepping the body for handling the stressor.

New cards
40

Cardiovascular fitness

Mixed evidence regarding whether aerobic fitness confers stress-buffering effects in response to psychosocial stressors

New cards
41

HPA Axis Response

a complex set of direct influences and feedback interactions among three endocrine glands: the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the adrenal glands. Controls reactions to stress and regulates many body processes, including digestion, the immune system, mood and emotions

New cards
42

Immunity

Exposure to a stressor can have an effect on immune functions—negatively (immunosuppression) or positively (immunopotentiation). As levels of fitness increase, inflammatory responses to stress decrease.

New cards
43

Reactivity vs Recovery

Reactivity: response when stressor occurs

Recovery: response after stressor ends

New cards
44

Mechanism: Physiological toughness model

proposed for explaining how exercise: reduces the immediate effects of stress and how it enhances the recovery from stressors

New cards
45

how does the HPA axis respond differently to stress in fit versus unfit individuals?

Fit, reduced cortisol response to psychosocial stress

New cards
46

Whereas homeostasis refers to functioning within a fairly narrow range, which of the following refers to a wide range of functioning?

Allostasis

New cards
47

According to the General Adaptation Syndrome, the stress response occurs in three stages are ___, in that order.

Arousal and alarm, resistance, then exhaustion

New cards
48

Which of the following is the primary brain structure thought to be involved in initiating the stress response?

Amygdala

New cards
49

The primary component of the stress response in the HPA-axis is

Cortisol

50

How an individual describes or defines oneself is referred to as

Self concept

New cards
