Nathan Prince GS 1145 5-11-15 Unit 9 Assignment 1: Adding to My Self-Knowledge In taking the various personality tests to see where my strengths and weakness lay, some introspection on improvement has been able to take place. Many of my strengths seem to be based on leadership skills and keeping true to standards and traditions. These are good qualities to have but can also get in the way of outside opinions and accepting of new ideas. Finding a balance between the two spectrums will really help develop a more balanced person in my opinion. The test that examines more in depth of leadership styles produced a somewhat predicted outcome.
The reward/need satisfaction theory of relationship proposed by Byrne & Clore (1970) asserts that if a relationship is seen to offer the prospect of reward (for either party), it is more likely to form – if there is little or no perceived reward, the relationship does not form. Their model is based on the behaviourist principles of operant and classical conditioning. According to the former, behaviour that results in a beneficial outcome makes repetition of this behaviour more likely, whereas if the outcome is undesirable, the behaviour is less likely to be repeated or continued. A relationship that brings perceived advantages is a case of positive reinforcement but the relationship can also be characterised by negative reinforcement if the
The slow oxidative fibers are set up to help with weaker amount of force but are very resistant to fatigue. Then the stronger motor units, although less resistant to fatigue are next, if more force is needed. 9. Restate your predictions that were correct and give data from your experiment that support them. Restate your predictions that were not correct and correct them, giving with supporting data from your experiment that supports your corrections.
On a personal note, I prefer the Kolb reflective cycle as it is easier and more realistic, although when I have written reflective practice I have always used Gibbs. I do appreciate that reflective practice is essential in the nursing profession to ensure that you learn from your experiences, however it can be time consuming and repetitive when using a model such as Gibbs and can be quite off
Thinking in positive ways not only makes me feel better about situations, but I know it also helps other people dealing with the situation too. So if people ever need help with something I might be the person they will like to come too. All in all I am glad I took the survey and got this little outlook on my strengths. I do believe they fit me and I will use them to better prepare for my
Learning a piece from memory has so many different positive factors and develops a musician to the best of their ability. Although it can be difficult to do and master, it is worth the hard work. The end result seems to be much more rewarding than if the score was being used in a performance. Firstly, memorizing allows the performer to connect with their audience. A score can really prohibit a relationship between the two.
Find the activity that you enjoy, and make it a part of your life. When you exercise your brain releases endorphins, these endorphins tend to minimise the discomfort of exercise, block the feeling of pain and are even associated with a feeling of euphoria. Keep learning. Learning new skills can give you a sense of achievement and a new confidence. So choose something you enjoy or wish to learn, like learning a instrument, take a course or learn a new skill.This will make you feel good about yourself and combat those feelings of worthlessness or fear.
Petersons STM study was argued to be high in internal validity, and this was mainly due to the fact that instructions to participants were standardised, repetitions of consonants or tridiagrams was prevented and extraneous variables were controlled, thus meaning the experiment had high internal validity and also made it easier to replicate. However a problem with the study was the fact it is actually challenged by
It unites the community in the pursuit of a common goal – Potter.” Although some of the allegations may be true about the people of today’s social “universes” becoming smaller with the use of technology, there is proof that technology can do the opposite as well. It is how we use it that it will affect us. And although Kidd has a good argument for novels such as Harry Potter bringing the people of the world together, music has an even better argument. One thing people will always share and that will unite us all is music and the effect it has on us. No matter what type of music you prefer to listen to, there are others out there who listen to, not only the same style of music but the same musicians as well.
Preserving a behaviourist position one might argue that instrumental conditioning plays a significant role. Although slightly less extreme than classical conditioning, operant conditioning supports and challenges at the same time my experience. Skinner, 1948 was the first who put the operant conditioning theory forward, he argued that behaviours tend to stop if a punishment is received in response; on the other hand behaviours are repeated if they are reinforced. According to this view I should have stopped playing piano a while ago because of the punitive nature of the experience. However according to the same view I didn’t stop my actions because I was experiencing a rewarding positive feeling when practicing in loneliness.
