Need help with my Psychology question – I’m studying for my class.

Thematic Discussions

1. Moral Disengagement Discussion: What mechanisms of moral disengagement do athletes and their supporters typically rely upon when confronted regarding irresponsible actions on the playing field?
2. Aggression Theories Discussion: In your opinion, which theory best explains aggression in sport and which theory is weakest in explaining aggression in sports? Why?
3. The Coach and Aggression Discussion: Imagine the following scenario: The college basketball team has just lost an important game leading up to the play-offs. The players and the head coach are in the dressing room and the coach clearly shows his displeasure for the team’s performance. In his anger, he verbally strikes out at one of his players, pointing out how badly he played and ridiculing his lack of shooting skills and defensive effort.   Is this a form of psychological aggression by the coach? What do you think about this coach based on this behavior? What are the likely reactions of the victim and his/her teammates?
4. Aggression and Media Discussion: : “Aggression and doing what it takes to win in intense competition, even risking serious injury and death, is the ultimate human drama. This is absolute fascination for many people. The more that the media can promote the perceived drama and violence of sport, the greater the fan enjoyment.” …What do you think about this statement?
5. Minimizing Aggression Discussion: A number of strategies are available for stopping or at least minimizing aggression and violence among athletes and among fans. Discuss the practicality of these tactics for controlling aggression at the college/university level and the professional level. Can you add to this list of strategies?
