Social Psych... its real life

 Theme: Diving



How does compliance relate to diving? Divers have to follow rules given in order to obtain the full set points required to do well. If divers don't follow to these important rules, their scores can be deducted or they could be disqualified


Obedience can be seen with diver and their coaches. Listening and following the coach can help the diver improve overall. Without obedience divers may not be able to have important fundamentals learned, and this can decrease their ability to do well.


Social Facilitation: If divers are supported by a strong cheering crowd they are more likely to do better, however a cheering crowd can make the diver nervous and for them to not do as well.



Group Polarization can occur in diving when divers train together. Examples could be discussing what type of dive is best fit for a meet, or giving harsh critique on a certain person.


Reciprocity Norms associated with diving can be about giving back to a community. Examples could be teaching younger kids, thanking coaches and friends along the way that helped them or expressing gratefulness towards parents/siblings.
