1.  Discuss the notion of hazing, including why it occurs and how it may be reduced.

2. A family friend is president of the local school board. In a conversation you have with her at your

parent’s home, you tell her that you’ve taken a sport and exercise psychology course. As she learns

more about what you are studying and your career goals, she reveals that the school board is

dealing with an increasing number of complaints of inappropriate behavior, cheating, bullying, and

poor sporting behavior in the athletic program. She asks you what the role should be of the sport

coaches and physical educators in enhancing character development and teaching good sporting

behavior. Can they do anything to lessen the kinds of problems the school athletic program is

experiencing? What would you tell her?
