Questions: Which of the following is not an example of the interactionism paradigm as applied to sport and exercise psychology? A Sprinter whose personal best in the 100 m is faster when running in a race, as compared to by herself. (B) A person weightlifting the most they have ever lifted while working out in their basement alone. A basketball player being able to dunk over another player during a competition because of the intensity of the game, noise from the crowd, and excitement of his team. Ice hockey player being able to skate longer on their shift (the rotations ice hockey players take during a game that usually requires high-intensity skating for a few minutes at a time).

The answer is B: A person weightlifting the most they have ever lifted while working out in their basement alone.

Explanation:

A. A sprinter whose personal best in the 100 m is faster when running in a race, as compared to by herself, is an example of interactionism. This paradigm suggests that behavior is influenced by both personal and situational factors. In this case, the presence of competitors and the race environment likely enhance the sprinter's performance.

B. A person weightlifting the most they have ever lifted while working out in their basement alone is not an example of interactionism. This scenario lacks the situational influence that is central to the interactionism paradigm, as the person is lifting alone without external factors such as competition or social facilitation.

C. A basketball player being able to dunk over another player during a competition because of the intensity of the game, noise from the crowd, and excitement of his team is an example of interactionism. The player's performance is influenced by the situational factors of the game environment, including the crowd and team dynamics.

D. An ice hockey player being able to skate longer on their shift due to the high-intensity nature of the game is also an example of interactionism. The player's endurance and performance are affected by the situational demands of the game, such as the pace and intensity of play.
