Anxiety reduction techniques are :
(I) Progressive-relaxation technique
(II) Positive reinforcement
(III) Autogenic training
(IV) Goal setting
Find the correct combination :
Answer: D
The anxiety reduction techniques are (I) progressive relaxation and (III) autogenic training.
Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation has the athlete tense and then release each muscle group in turn, learning to recognise and remove tension. Schultz's autogenic training uses self-suggestions of warmth and heaviness in the limbs to produce a relaxed state. Both act directly on anxiety, through the body.
Positive reinforcement is a technique for shaping and motivating behaviour, and goal setting is a technique for directing effort and building motivation. Both are valuable in sport psychology, but neither is primarily a method of reducing anxiety, so codes that include (II) or (IV) are wrong.
