Openness to experience captures the extent to which an individual is original, open to a wide variety of stimuli, has broad interests, and is willing to take risks as opposed to being narrow-minded and cautious. I believe that the big five assessment results are accurate and organizations should use personality assessments in the hiring process. I believe that the big five assessment results are accurate because two reasons. First, most psychologists agree with it, and they think it is universal. It can be used to describe different people who have different race, age, gender, religion, culture background.
Pink has presented sharp scientific evidence in his book “A Whole New Mind” that comes as common knowledge to the majority of us in our society. He also stressed the several capabilities of right-brain thinking such as creativity, artistry, empathy, and overall big picture viewpoints. Therefore, he claims that our new era requires a right-brain thinking which included essential senses as story, symphony, empathy to prepare for, and be successful in the future. New ideas were presented in a new way of thinking that believes right brainers will rule the future. Pink points out the roles of the two hemispheres of our brains: the left hemisphere is logical, sequential, mathematical, etc., and the right hemisphere is intuition, creative, artistic,
I could honestly relate to all of them. Then once that I reread the description of each trait, it was then that I had realized of the Big Five personality traits I find myself to be more Extraversion, Openness to experience, and Agreeableness. With Extraversion, I tend to show assertiveness. No matter what the situation or challenge may be I stick to what I truly do believe is the right answer. When it comes down to people trying

LO 1.2 The principles of relationship building with children, young people and adults Effective Communication This is the key area for developing relationships with others and it covers many different forms of communication. Children and adults will be more likely to communicate effectively if they are comfortable in your company. You should always be respectful and courteous, listen to points of view, take time to remember names and preferred forms of address. People may behave or react different ways when under times of stress or pressures, so you should be considerate of this too. Always remember that different people have different issues that are personal to them, it helps to build a positive relationship to enquire about another person’s life.
These five areas became known as the five “pillars” of reading instruction and the cement that held these pillars up was scientific evidence-based research. (Cassidy, p644) This essay will introduce, define and describe the five pillars of reading. It will provide an explanation of how the five pillars are integrated in a balanced approach to reading, and the effectiveness of this approach will be discussed. The pillars and the scientific research that supports them have deeply influenced elementary reading instruction in this decade. (Cassidy, p646) (*check these) 3 large scale reviews in last 10 years tells us a lot about how we should teach literacy: •National Reading Panel (NICHHD, 2000) •National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy (DEST, 2005) •Independent Review of the Teaching of Early Reading in the UK (Rose, 2006) The essay will then continue to look at how each of the five pillars are taught in conjunction with the Australian Curriculum’s Year One English content, and will address the importance of explicit teaching of components, and varying classroom instructional procedures.
These theories that she mentions are those of William Cross, Janet Helms, and Jean Phinney. William Cross is a psychologist who offered five stages of racial identity development that are referred to as the psychology of becoming Black (Tatum, 2003). The five stages are pre-encounter, encounter, immersion/emersion, internalization, and internalization-commitment (Tatum, 2003). Tatum’s explanation of these five stages was very clear and effective in understanding racial identity development. The first stage, called pre-encounter, is when the Black child absorbs many of the beliefs of the dominant White culture, including stereotypes, distortions, and the idea that it is better to be White (Tatum, 2003).
Some students are successful at connecting their in-campus and off-campus activities while other are not. Light asserts that he found out that “those students who make connections between what goes on inside and outside the classroom report a more satisfying college experience” (p. 14). In order to prove this, Light interviewed a few students whose life-decisions had changed because of the meta-curricular activities that they took up during their vacations. Light concluded that this study would be helpful for admission officers who should realize that they should admit their students and then get in their way (in a constructive sense) to help them make these
Almost every introduction made formally of cognitive science stresses that psychology, neuroscience, education, philosophy, linguistics, biology, anthropology, and computer science are principal branches to the scientific research of cognitive science (Encyclopedia-Cognitive Science, 2003). Several approaches have been taken when it comes to the study of cognitive psychology. The broad classifications are approached as connectionist, dynamic, and symbolic systems (Encyclopedia-Cognitive Science, 2003). Cognitive science has given much to cognitive psychology; too much to list. Among only a few of its accomplishments, cognitive science gave eye opening attention to models of risk perception, human bias, and
Because personality can be defined in so many ways psychologists had to find a way to categorise and measure personality with individual differences in personality in mind. The most influential approach to dividing personality into categories was developed by Lewis. R. Goldberg in 1981 called the “Big Five” personality factors (Goldberg 1981). This divides personality into 5 dimensions; Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional stability and Intellect. This way we are able to tell which category a person fits in and at what scale.
