With the use of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter – II, I was categorized as a guardian, and the results of the test were impressively accurate. I pride myself on being dependable, helpful, and hardworking. While I do enjoy leisure time with my peers, I become more serious when dealing with my duties and responsibilities. I tend to focus on credentials and traditions, and I can be highly meticulous about schedules and following proper procedures. Although change can be healthy and beneficial, I go about it cautiously. These aspects of who I am strongly influence my decision-making process. I have always been described as an optimist because I am determined to find the positive aspects in all things. This, however, does not prohibit my skepticisms. Whether I am deciding on what to eat or where and how to spend my money, I am consistent in weighing out my options and determining all possible outcomes and consequences. This cautiousness is often mistaken for indecisiveness, but I agree entirely with the statement that, in the end, it is better to be safe than to be

These conclusions indicate that a genetic aspect, probably triggered in combination with life experiences, predisposes some individuals to these disorders. Since signs of anxiety disorders are often reduced by drugs that maintain quantities of chemicals in the brain, scientists think that brain chemistry seems to play a role in the beginning of anxiety disorders. Researchers think that personality may play a role in the growth of an anxiety disorder, observing that individuals who have low self-esteem and weak managing skills may be more prone. On the contrary, anxiety disorders that start in childhood may itself play a role to the growth of low self-esteem. Researchers think that the connection between anxiety disorders and long-term contact to abuse, aggression, or hardship is an essential section for further study, as life experience may influence a human being’s vulnerability to these disorders. Occasionally, anxiety may be initiated by using street drugs like amphetamines, LSD, or Ecstasy. Still the caffeine in coffee can be sufficient to make some of us experience awkwardly nervous.

During the month of January, the Mktg 3100 class that I took part in, was given a Myers-Briggs characterization form to fill out. Because the Myers-Briggs results place me into two categories, I shall discuss this response to both ISFJ and ISFP character trait types. This paper will discuss my viewpoints, others viewpoints, and the characteristics on how it might affect the decisions I make with my activities, social, vocational life. The results of this examination were two because of how closely related my answers were to both types. Though this is a good ball-park estimate on what kinds of traits I may have, it is not perfect.

*Since Week 1 was unsuccessful in going to sleep around that specific goal time I changed my project by pushing my sleep goals back 30 minutes for the remaining 4 weeks.

How we teach is just as important as what we teach. This is especially true when training staff to perform on the job. Due to the important role of our direct care staff it is crucial to implement training procedures that are scientific and evidence-based. Based on the following literature review, Positive Behavior Changes (PBC) has created a comprehensive training package for direct care staff. By utilizing Personalized Systems of Instruction (PSI), video training, in-situ training and role-play methods, staff will learn how to implement Functional Communication Training and Errorless Learning with individuals on the Autism Spectrum. In order to provide our clients with the best possible services, we seek to not only equip staff with the knowledge

After taking the Project 2 assessment, I found that I have an agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience personality (Project 2 Assessment, 2017). At times, I can sympathize with people’s feelings. Usually, I can have a better understanding of why someone is thinking a way if I understand what they think. I am completely a conscientiousness person. I always want to do well with any task that is in from of me. Also, I am always thinking and planning things to do.

Characteristic theorists consider personality to be a steady and persevering example of conduct. They depict our disparities as opposed to attempting to clarify them. Utilizing component examination, they distinguish bunches of conduct propensities that happen together. Hereditary inclinations impact numerous attributes.

Chow and Roberts (2014) examined these personality traits (i.e., neuroticism and conscientiousness) to conduct cross-sectional, prospective and correlated-change analyses. The goal was to confirm past research which stated that neuroticism and conscientiousness were could be strong predictors of depression. Chow and Roberts then extended their analyses by using a representative sample of older adults. They used this sample to determine whether changes in these traits would predict a change in depression. They examined variables such as physical health, and life satisfaction to explore the reasoning as to why personality traits could contribute to depression (38). They hypothesized that they would be able to replicate existing data which suggested that neuroticism and conscientiousness would have an association with depression. They believed they

After completing the inventory based on Jane Loevinger’s work, I designate myself at Conscientious stage according to her model. Reason for this is goals and concepts are obtainable and recognized, and a new logic of duties are presented. In this model, I see choices being accessible at your own leisure. “I think of myself as having choices in life, not just a pawn of fate” (p.R49). Three of the most personally significant qualities that I would like to acquire are “I have a deep understanding of other peoples’ viewpoints, and because of this would view my relationships with others as having greater mutuality” (p.R49). I chose this quality because I believe for individuals to have a greater understanding forms a stronger bond of support

In addition, conscientious people show a greater tendency to adherence to self-care for different illnesses that also includes such diagnosis as kidney disease (Christensen & Smith, 1995). However, when doing research on how conscientiousness trait is negatively related to unhealthy behavior patterns; but it is positively related to all of the beneficial aspects of wellness maintenance. (Boggs & Roberts, 2004).

Does (do) the student (s) perceive a relationship between the behaviors and the consequences of the behavior? I believe that Naidhurva have a clear understanding between behavior and consequences. She realize that education is important and in order for her to continue her extracurricular activities , she need to excel in her education.

Another form of social influence is obedience. Obedience occurs when an individual acts in response to an order by a person in authority whether that order goes against what they know to be right or not. This can be done to gain acceptance or to avoid punishment. Obedience accounts for a large amount of the medication errors that happen in hospitals each day. An example of this is a nurse following a doctor’s order even when the doctor’s orders go against her professional obligations. This was demonstrated in an experiment conducted by C. Hofling. In Hofling’s experiment 22 nurses who worked at a hospital were contacted by a staff doctor that they did not know. They were told to give twice the highest dose of a drug to his patient. If the nurses did what they were told they would be going against three different rules. First, they were not to accept doctor’s orders over the phone. Second, the dose called for by the doctor was double the maximum for that drug. Third, the medication was not on their authorized list of medications. Of the 22 nurses 21

In the discipline of personality psychology, it is crucial for researchers to conduct studies using universal terms and scales, so that they may effectively compare results and further their line of research. However, when it concerns personality traits, such a comprehensive catalogue has not always been available – in fact, it has taken until up until the late 20th century to develop a list of essential personality traits and create scales that measure these dimensions reliably (John, Naumann, & Soto, 2008). The current set of these widely used traits is called the “Big Five” personality traits, and encompasses five broad dimensions - Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness. Of the five, this paper will focus on Conscientiousness, a trait that describes individuals with impulse control who are highly organized, thorough, planful, efficient, responsible, reliable, and dependable, to name just a handful of characteristics associated with the trait (John, Naumann, & Soto, 2008). Those low in the trait, on the other hand, are more frequently careless and irresponsible (McShane & Steen, 2012). Although studies have shown Conscientiousness to be a predictor of various life outcomes such as health and longevity, this paper will focus on the findings that support Conscientiousness as a predictor of job performance and, when one is high in the trait, success in

Good posture is defined as having a forward tilted pelvis and having the rib cage aligned with the pelvis, wide and long shoulders, but not squeezing the shoulder blades, and having an elongated head. When sitting, the torso and the legs should form a 90-degree angle, and the knees should also be at a 90-degree angle. Even though that is the definition of having good posture, sitting position should be adjusted to the user’s comfort. If sitting position is forced, then more harm is being done to the body. Poor posture has many negative effects if not treated. Such as rounded shoulders, potbelly, bent knees when standing and walking, muscle fatigue, and headaches. Also, postural mechanisms problems may occur with poor
