LaJoyina Thompson Smarter Decisions through Psychology August 19, 2022 Using your problem-solving and self and social awareness skill and the information you learned about brain plasticity, motivation, and mindset, answer the questions in this case study assignment to help Monica offer strategies to improve Mark’s chances of doing well on the compliance test. You should write a paragraph-length response (5–7 sentences) for each question to receive credit for this assignment. You may use your Sophia tutorials as a resource. Question 1: What mindset does Mark need to embrace to be successful? Describe the impact of attitude on success. Mark can be successful with the right mindset. Mark will be very successful if he develops a growth mindset. It was mentioned that he is somewhat of a clown who likes to joke around. Now that his job may or may not be on the line, he needs to consider doing a little growing up while making some changes. He has already defined his problem, although he jokes about it. All that’s left is him putting to it and just doing it. I think Mark will do just fine. Question 2: What mindset does Mark currently have, and how does it affect his brain? Explain how attitude affects learning Now, Mark possesses a fixed mindset. He has convinced himself that learning to change his situation is impossible. He is showing a lack of confidence. He believes that he cannot, so therefore he does not. He has conditioned himself into not believing in himself. I was always told there is some truth to every joke, the same jokes he jokes. Once he starts developing the I can over the I can’t his brain will start working more like it and less like I can’t. Question 3: What advice should Monica give to Mark, and why? Describe a specific strategy Monica can suggest to Mark to improve his memory and prepare for the compliance test. Page 1 PSY1010 – Touchstone 4

The advice I feel that Monica should give Mark is to simply just first off believe in himself. Remove all and any self-doubt and replace it with belief. With the right mindset, he began to develop confidence and self-control, which helped to ease the stress and anxiety he may feel. Give him an idea of some strategies and tools he can work on, like relationships, communication, and self and social skills. Advise him always to stay focused and positive and to devise a plan and set it in motion. Question 4: If Mark were your coworker, what essential aspects of the situation would you want to keep in mind when offering advice and strategies to him? Why do you think this is important? Explain the importance of tailoring advice and design directly to Mark’s situation. If Mark were my coworker, the advice and strategies would be precisely what I previously stated. To practice organization and selection, as well as whole and part learning. Sometimes we can learn better if things are broken down. A serial position effect is also an excellent tool he can utilize. Some people can learn better by memorizing a list and remembering the first and last item on the list. Over-learning is another good strategy continuously studying well after he remembers. There’s repetition and rehearsal, repeating the information until it reaches his long-term memory. Page 2 PSY1010 – Touchstone 4
