“…2 As Kate Flint notes, even while Victorian fiction lavishly recreated "the visible details of a crowded material world," that vision was constantly being contested by fiction that "encouraged readers to think, critically and skeptically, about the category of the visual itself." 3 This skepticism expressed itself in "a refusal to be satisfied with the representation of surfaces." 4 Jane Eyre exemplifies just this kind of suspicion, as it proposes a moral gaze that sees through deceitful, alluring surfaces.…”

“…They have not yet achieved high-level performance, and as they are performing they verbalize and emulate low confidence and perhaps even fear of executing the skill in question and gradually progress to positive comments. Schunk (1987) demonstrated the effectiveness of coping models in educational settings, and the idea has been tested in swimming (lewis, 1974;Weiss, McCullagh, Smith, & Berlant, 1998) and rehabilitation (Flint, 1993) settings. Coping models may be effective because research participants feel similar to the coping model, who is also working to achieve a higher level of performance.…”

“…Much rehabilitation research has focused on the use of coping models to increase compliance with physical therapist-prescribed exercises and to change perceptions of pain and self-efficacy within the athletic injury domain. Flint's doctoral dissertation (as cited in Flint, 1993) examined modeling effects in rehabilitation. Female basketball players recovering from knee surgery were shown a series of coping model videos.…”

atching others has long been recognized as an important technique for modifying individual and group behavior (see McCullagh & Weiss, 2002). Numerous empirical studies have been conducted from a variety of approaches (behavioral to neuropsychological), and researchers have begun to study how observational learning is used by athletes in realistic settings. To demonstrate the potential effectiveness of observational learning, we present three case studies, define observational learning, briefly review relevant theoretical and empirical approaches, and suggest potential solutions to our case studies.

The opening chapter introduces and contextualizes the politics and poetics of Victorian surfaces. First, we delineate the increasing interests in both natural and constructed surfaces by taking a closer look at discourses that reflect a growing fascination with surfaces, including (pseudo-)medical treatises on physiognomy. Secondly, we focus on the politics of surface readings by scrutinizing the politics of various visual representations of Queen Victoria and the (self-)fashioning of the body politic at the centre of a growing surface culture. Third, we develop a conceptual framework for the analysis of the poetics of Victorian surfaces by analyzing the attention paid to (or withheld from) surfaces in Victorian literature and culture. By examining the role of surface reading in Victorian texts, we offer an overview of different surface cultures and debates surrounding the challenges attached to surfaces, explore how to do things with surfaces, and thereby outline what can be described as a ‘poetics of surface.’
