Question
Can you name some significant things in relation to the psychology of cheerleading and extrovertness. Im writing a paper on Cheerleading Personalities and I'm having a hard timg gathering information.
Dear Jamuel,
Hmmmm...I don't know about any studies that have been done on this topic. Anything available would be anecdotal. I think you could say that people who are drawn to cheerleading tend to be extroverts but there is nothing on cheerleading personalities per se. It would be a good study though! So you see there's a reason why you can't find information - there isn't any!
My blog has info on how sport psychology can help improve the performance of cheerleaders but that won't really help you for this project I'm afraid. If you're curious, check it out at www.confidentcheerleadingblog.com
Sorry I can't be of help to you!
