- Summary:
-
Competitive athletes' scores on the Profile of Mood States (POMS) test create an iceberg-like pattern known as the "Iceberg Profile." Their scores for tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion are low while their scores on vigor juts upward creating the "Iceberg Profile." Persons in a cooperative relationship are often competing against their own self-interest which creates moods of tension, frustration and anger. To achieve social responsibility, however, people need to cooperate. Cooperation emerges from competition if athletes who are competing against each other are viewed as actually cooperating to achieve a desired outcome, such as spectator entertainment. The need is to encourage and stabilize relationships at an appropriately competitive level. This can be done if the future becomes sufficiently important relative to the present. Another way to promote cooperation is to extend the duration of the interaction. As the interaction extends over time, there is more mutual restraint in the participants' behavior. The third way to encourage cooperation is to structure more frequent contact. Frequent and sustained competitive interactions gravitate to cooperative relationships. (SM)
