Task 2

Please go to www.tagxedo.com and generate a word cloud to identify all of the key words related to attribution theory that were discussed last lesson. You will then need to print the word cloud and then annotate the key words to provide a description of each key word.

To use Tagxedo follow these instructions.

Select 'Create' from the homepage (orange button)
Select 'Load' to add in the text/ words you want - avoid whole sentences, think about key terminology. When you've put all you think you need click 'Submit'
Change the shape of your tagxedo by selecting 'Shape' - there are a lot of pre set designs, pick one!
You can also change the them and fonts to make it look really good
Once finished click 'Save' to save it to your documents - make it an 16jpg quality so you can use it

We spent last lesson developing knowledge and understanding but you now need to put your critical evaluation hat on again!

Use the following as sub headings and make some judgements/formulate an opinion. Use 2 different colours to distinguish between supportive (pro's) and challenging (con's) comments

1. Weiner's model and the examples provided with in it

2. The difference between attributions of people on different levels of the pyramid

3. Your reflections on the "conditions" Learned Helplessness and Mastery Orientation

4. Does someones attribution experience impact their sustained involvement in physical activity?

Watch the video below and make a list of the reasons why you think that the USA team (that contained 4 of the fastest men on the planet at that time) failed to win the gold medal. You should support this by reading about "Social Loafing" and "The Ringlemann Effect"
