Psychology is defined as "the science of behavior and mental processes" (Myers, 2001) where behavior includes all observable and recordable actions (Myers, 2001). Similarly, the human motivation, perception, emotions, dreams, beliefs and thoughts are some of the fundamental forms of mental processes (Myers, 2001). This seven-page research paper will present a critical analysis of the article "Perceived purposes of sport among recreational participants: The role of competitive dispositions" by the renowned author Todd A. Ryska (2002). While examining the article for it's content, theme and approach, the paper will highlight the role of competitiveness, motivational goals and how the achievement theory of motivation influences the sportsman's perception thereby evoking his various emotions and bringing a change in the personality in general and behavior as well as performance in particular. The reference-page appends eight sources in APA format.
