Arousal, Stress, And Anxiety

Arousal, Stress, And Anxiety
Read our Lesson in the Lesson section and this weeks assigned material, and http://www.brianmac.co.uk/companx.htm
You may also want to use online sources, Google etc., to research the State Anxiety Test, or the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2).
It is a sport-specific state anxiety scale developed by Martens, Vealey, and Burton (1990). The scale divides anxiety into three components: cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and a related component-self-confidence. Self- confidence tends to be the opposite of cognitive anxiety and is another important factor in managing stress.
Complete this scale, meaning, fill out the questionnaire for yourself before a practice, workout or meaningful event. If you are not currently active in competition, recall such situations as clearly as possible and record and report your responses in this initial forum post, then answer the following questions in your forum post:
1. Do you tend to be an individual that struggles with stress and anxiety?
2. If not, explain your general arousal personality.
3. What are possible factors that influence your arousal, stress, and anxiety status before an event?
4. What are strategies that you can apply to reduce stress and anxiety and maintain appropriate arousal levels?
Make sure at the end of your discussion you reference the location of your ideas.

Discuss the pros and cons of the epistemological shift in an essay

philos201

Assignment Details Recall that epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge. In the study of epistemology, philosophers are concerned with the epistemological shift. This is the idea that one has shifted, or changed, the way he or she takes in knowledge.  For example, you read many of your books on screens and e-readers today. This is a change from the past. In fact, there have been university libraries that have opened without any physical books (e-books only). Thanks to the Internet and smartphones, people do not have to memorize information the way they did in decades past. Reflect upon this issue and then respond to the following questions:
· Are philosophers correct to be concerned with this shift?
· Discuss the pros and cons of the epistemological shift in an essay.
Utilize at least 2 credible sources to support your position presented in the paper. Make sure you cite them appropriately within your paper, and list them in APA format on your Reference page. Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length, not counting the Title page and Reference page. In accordance with APA formatting requirements, your paper should include a Title and Reference page, should be double-spaced, and include a running head and page numbers
