Individuals with this score are pragmatic with a wide range of interests and are able to excel at those things that are deemed rewarding. An interesting finding for a medium score for this style was that a positive outlook for the future is not typically matched by substantive steps to achieving professional development. Achievement Style People who score in the high range on this style tend to feel positively challenged by the tasks that confront them. High scores on the achievement style reflect a belief that even intractable things can be changed for the better and that it is worth taking calculated risks to do so. People with this score tend to approach problems in a methodical manner that maximizes their chances for success.
Bandura explains, “The most effective way of developing a strong sense of efficacy is through mastery experiences” (Bandura, 1994). By performing a task successfully it strengthens our sense of self-efficacy. However, failing to adequately deal with a task or challenge can undermine and weaken self-efficacy. Witnessing other people successfully completing a task is another important source of self-efficacy. According to Bandura, “seeing people similar to oneself succeed by sustained effort raises observers beliefs they too possess the capabilities master comparable activities to succeed” (Bandura, 1994).
There are many good reasons to personalise an induction script, most importantly it can achieve an effective trance state quickly which will hopefully lead to an effective session and outcome. As well as this it makes a client feel listened to and valued as an individual which can only benefit the therapy session. However, the evidence does show that personalisation will not always be more effective, not just for practical reasons of time, but more importantly because making assumptions about a person’s personality based on a short time of knowing them and with potentially long periods of time between sessions, runs the risk of making an error of judgement. This could lead to a very ineffective session and a disappointed client. It would seem appropriate that an initial session be more generalised in approach, becoming more personalised in future sessions as appropriate.
• Reward-personal Goals Relationship (also known as Valence) – The Higher the reward, the higher satisfaction Each factor has its own characteristics that are further defined in below but essentially they boil down to the philosophy that an individual will be motivated to do something, as well as, act a certain way if their actions will benefit themselves. Vroom suggests that individuals are motivated when they believe higher levels of effort will lead to better performance and will be rewarded with desired outcomes (Redmond, 2007). Expectancy theory is classified as a process theory of motivation due to the face that it believes that individual perceptions of their environment and that they act on that environment as a repercussion of their personal expectations (Scholl, 2002). Expectancy probability: The first component of the Expectancy Theory is the Expectancy probability. With the Expectancy probability, it is believed that a person’s performance is based on their experiences.
A confrontation with her classmates in fourth grade caused her to rethink her status and changed the course of her academic career; however, this same confrontation is a key in helping her formulate a plan to end the siege. She is one of the 26 survivors of the Dome. The honor of being one of the 26 survivors is great and it takes great social smartness to do
She is the most important person to me because she has been there every single day for me in my life time. I would do anything for her at any given moment and I know she would do the same thing for me. She has changed my life more than anybody could expect. I cannot wait till I get my job so that she will not have to pay any more bills. It is my time to take care of her.
My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back. My senior year I transferred to Christ Missionary and Industrial high school (college) the year flew by but I really enjoyed myself there. Now I am still here at CM&I , I supposed to be a summer graduate if everything goes as planned. Once I finish high school I plan on signing up for the air
In 1985 she met a gentleman who was in the Air Force. She got to know him and eventually got married to the gentleman on June 23rd, 1988 in Las Vegas, NV. This was her third marriage and her last. As I got older my mother explained to me “ Your father and I weren’t married when we had you.” I was born on June 13th, 1987 in Salinas, CA before the marriage. I had asked my mother abundant times if I was a slip-up, but my mother always replied “Your father and I had planned to have a baby; he wanted a girl and I wanted a
I don’t think you understand how much you have mentally helped me this year. If I even had one negative thought about how a game went I just kept thinking to myself “kenzie doesn’t think so.” You are hands down the sweetest girl I have ever met and I’m so honored to be someone you look up to. I cannot wait to see what great things you will achieve in these next 3 years. Freshman year tryouts, I promise you there was more than just me and tiff that played from our class. Even though it was so long ago I can still vividly remember one practice.
My final decision of all my changes was that I would return to school and get my doctorate in psychology. The path that I have chosen I know will not be an easy one, no one grows up saying, “When I am 30, I want to be a single mother and full time student.” But I do know that it will be the most gratifying journey of my life. Through all the personal changes I have made in these last few months going back to school will be one of the most satisfying for me in bettering myself. It is definitely a change that I will be taking full advantage of because at the end of the day this is the dream that I cannot let myself let
