The Sport Psych Perspective

My name is Tyler Niehaus and I am a Sport & Exercise Psychology major at West Virginia University. My goal is to go into the mental health field working as either a Performance Psychologist or a Mental Health Coach. This podcast is a project I wanted to start in order to answer difficult questions. I have a lot of thoughts, this is how I organize them. Criticism is welcomed; I am only after the truth!

    Ep. 8 On Anger Pt. 4

    In this episode, Tyler Niehaus breaks down the tertiary methods of dealing with anger. There was no research included in this episode, just personal anecdotes about how Tyler has dealt with these problems in the past. The tertiary phase of anger comes after secondary. Either you handled secondary well and you are still holding on to the frustrations past, or you handled it poorly and have to reconstruct relationships. Either way, Tyler has you covered on what to do in this episode.

    In this episode, Tyler Niehaus talks about the findings of both Dr. Rebecca Dewey, PhD and Dr. Stephen Mason, PhD. Dr. Dewey is a neuroimaging research fellow at the University of Nottingham and has an interesting study on how the ability to perceive pain is tied to the ability to have pain empathy. Dr. Mason's study was set to prove that we love to watch people suffer. Tyler discusses both articles in detail as well as gives implications on their findings.
