Details:

Much attention was given to mental imagery in athletics (particularly tennis) in the 1960s and 1970s under the heading of visualization as a way to improve personal performance. The idea was to practice specific physical actions and to visualize them being successfully completed without actually doing them.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

  • This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
  • Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Directions:

Write a position paper (1,000-1,250 words) in which you discuss whether this practice of visualizing successful completion of physical activities is “pop psychology” and mysticism or whether the practice has research-supported underpinnings.

Using current research, make recommendations for improving the technique, or argue that it now is obsolete.

30.0 %Discuss Whether the Practice of Visualizing Successful Completion of Physical Activities Is “Pop Psychology” and Mysticism or Whether the Practice Has Research-Supported Underpinnings Discussion about whether the practice of visualizing successful completion of physical activities is “pop psychology” and mysticism or whether the practice has research-supported underpinnings is either not present or not evident to the reader. Discussion about whether the practice of visualizing successful completion of physical activities is “pop psychology” and mysticism or whether the practice has research-supported underpinnings is present, but incomplete. Discussion about whether the practice of visualizing successful completion of physical activities is “pop psychology” and mysticism or whether the practice has research-supported underpinnings is present, but discussion is cursory and lacking in depth.

Discussion is detailed, thorough, and supported with research, most of which is authoritative. Discussion about whether the practice of visualizing successful completion of physical activities is “pop psychology” and mysticism or whether the practice has research-supported underpinnings is clearly presented. Discussion is perceptive and contains rich detail that demonstrates a deep understanding of course material. Arguments are supported by research from current, scholarly, and original and/or highly respected sources.
