How do the connections between the two texts enrich the meaning of each text? When considered on their own, texts are constructed to create meaning and impart that meaning on a responder. However when two linked texts a considered together, their meanings are enriched as the responder can compare both texts, and take extra meaning from how the two texts differ and agree with each other, by evaluating which is more effective. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice when read in isolation can be a simple bildungsroman narrative about the maturation of a young woman. However if the responder were to read Fay Weldon’s Letters to Alice on first reading Jane Austen, the connections between the two would shape and then reshape the responder’s understanding of both texts.
Methods Paper PSY/335 May 10th, 2015 Operationalization is the process of strictly defining variables into measurable factors. The process defines “fuzzy concepts” and allows them to be measured, empirically and quantitatively. First we need to define “fuzzy concepts” also known as vague ideas or an idea that is partially true. These ideas are often referred as conceptual variables. Operationalization is strengthening and clarifying, so we need to specify age, sex, nationality, or a combination of attributes, this will clearly state the population the method is working with.
Past English Belonging Essay 2010 ‘An individual’s interaction with others and the world around them can enrich or limit their experience of belonging.’ Discuss this view with detailed reference to your prescribed text and ONE other related text of your own choosing. When presented with the statement “an individual’s interaction with others and the world around them can enrich or limit their experience of belonging” it is important to consider different texts that are from different contexts.

This can be seen through the examples of
“A personalised induction will always be more effective” Discuss. In this essay I will describe what is meant by “personalised induction”, explore how a script can be written to incorporate personalisation discussing different theories and concepts, and discuss the validity of developing personalised rather than more general inductions. A personalised induction is a script that has been developed for an individual, taking into account their likes and dislikes, the way they perceive their world, and their modalities. The person’s cultural background, hobbies and interests, values and communication styles must always be taken into consideration, and a holistic approach should always be used. Hypnotherapy is usually delivered with the client’s eyes closed therefore the communication styles normally adopted are more difficult.
However, priming introduces a fluid aspect to studies of cross-cultural usage of pronouns since specific context can induce favorability toward either collectivist or individualistic mindsets (Oyserman & Lee, 2008). This tendency to either segregate or connect appears to interact with interpersonal assessments. Perceived reasons for individual behaviors by members of individualistic cultures are more likely to result from judgments based on ascribed attributes or traits, while those made by members of interdependent cultures are more apt to incorporate contextual or situational elements (Church et al., 2006; Na & Kitayama, 2011). Perhaps one of the clearest examples of this dichotomy exists in Western academic traditions, which continue to be subject to European notions of separateness that have produced what Gusa (2010) describes as an

There are 5 characteristics of the Filter Model that are highlighted as being important in the filtering process, these are: Proximity, Physical attraction, similarity, complimentary and competence. Proximity is the first thing we look for in a potential partner, we are more likely to form a relationship with people who are geographically close to us so are therefore more likely to meet or speak to us. The second thing people tend to look for is physical attraction as this has been found to be one of the most important factors in initial relationship formation.

The fourth suggests that we may look for complimentary differences; we may look for someone who can give us what we lack.
