Question.1068 - Watch the following video (approximately 15 minutes long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbzIjIdjOt8Links to an external site.After watching the video, complete the following and put your answers in the discussion board: Think about all the places you have been (lived in, traveled to, etc.). I would like you to focus on 2 of the most impactful places in your life. Identify each place and write in the name of the country, state, city/town, etc. Do not panic if you have not been to many places. You will still be able to do this exercise. For example, let’s say you were born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. You could look at where you went to high school and now you as a junior/senior at UAB. Identify approximately how long you lived in or traveled to each place. Think about who you were when you were there. Answer the following for each of the 2 places: Do you think who you were was influenced more by heredity or environment? Explain why you selected the answer you chose. Describe yourself in terms of each of the 4 Myers-Briggs general personality preferences. Explain why you selected the personality you did for each of the 4 pairs. Again, answer the following for each place: Introversion-Extraversion: Both are healthy variations in personality style. Extravert gets energy from involvement in events and having lots of different activities. Excited when around people and like to energize others. Introverts get energy from dealing with ideas, pictures, memories, and reactions that are inside one’s head (inner world). Prefer doing things alone or with one or two people. Sensing and Intuition. Do you pay more attention to information that comes through your 5 senses (Sensing), or to patterns and possibilities that you see in information (Intuition)? Sensing: Pay attention to physical reality. Notice facts, remember details. Likes to see practical use of things and learns best when seeing how to use what (s)he is learning. Intuition: Pays attention to impressions or meaning and patterns of information. Would rather learn by thinking a problem through than by hands-on experience. Interested in new things and what might be possible, so thinks more about future than past. Likes to work with symbols or abstract theories. Thinking and Feeling. When making a decision, do you put more weight on objective principles and impersonal facts (Thinking) or on personal concerns and people involved (Feeling)? Thinking: Likes to find basic truth or principle to be applied, regardless of the specific situation. Likes to analyze pros and cons, and then be consistent and logical. Tries to be impersonal: won't let personal wishes or other people's wishes influence decisions. Feeling: weigh what people care about and points-of-view of persons involved in a situation. Concerned with values and what is best for people involved. Do whatever will establish or maintain harmony. Judging vs. perceiving: How you like to live your outer life--what are behaviors others tend to see? Do you prefer a more structured and decided lifestyle (Judging) or a more flexible and adaptable lifestyle (Perceiving)? Judging. To others, one seems to prefer a planned or orderly way of life, likes to have things settled and organized, more comfortable when decisions are made, and likes to bring life under control as much as possible. Perceiving. To others, one seems to prefer a flexible and spontaneous way of life, likes to understand and adapt to the world rather than organize it. Others see perceivers as staying open to new experiences and information. Describe yourself in terms of the 4 dimensions of psychological capital. Explain yourself for each of the dimensions (why did you have hope, why did you not have optimism, etc.). Again, answer the following for each place: Efficacy: a person’s belief that they have the ability to execute a specific task in a given context. Believing in one’s ability to mobilize cognitive resources to obtain specific outcomes. Optimism: a positive outcome outlook or attribution of events, which includes positive emotions and motivation. Having the explanatory style that attributes positive events to internal, permanent, and pervasive causes. Hope: the will to succeed and the ability to identify and pursue the path to success. Having the willpower and pathways to attain one’s goals. Resiliency: coping in the face of risk or adversity; the ability to “bounce back” after a setback. Having the capacity to bounce back from adversity, failure, or even seemingly overwhelming change.
Answer Below:
I was raised in Trussville, where I have completed my schooling and became the person I am today. I still live in Trussville, but I also love traveling, especially with my family; some of my fondest memories from when I traveled are with my family. There are two such places where I have experienced things that I would love to relive again. One is Glacier National Park in Montana, where I stayed for a week, and the second is Orange Beach, Alabama, where my family and I go every year for a week; these places hold a special place in my life because of my experiences there. A. I remember being so in touch with nature and the world around me when I traveled to Glacier National Park and Orange Beach, Alabama. It was not because of heredity but because I was surrounded by greenery and the ice-capped mountains of Glacier National Park and because I was surrounded by the hum of people talking and walking along the shore of Orange Beach; it was the environment of those places that played a role in the person I was then. B. Since beaches are usually crowded and full of energy, children make sandcastles, people walking and surfing along the shore or reading books, and because of that atmosphere, I am usually extroverted. I would socialize with the people around me and make new friends. At the beach, I typically sense things like the salty smell of seawater, the breathtaking view of the sunset, or the sound of the waves crashing. All of them make me want to rely only on my senses. I also feel more than I think because I am usually so involved in the buzz of the beach and the feeling of the sand between my toes or the warmth of the sun on my back; I feel the happiest at the beach. When I am there, I perceive and take in everything around me: the people, the pets, the children, and all the joy people feel at Orange Beach in the city of Alabama. However, the same general personalities varied when I was at Glacier National Park; I preferred keeping to myself most of the time and did not socialize much because all I wanted to do was look at the magnificent beauty I was surrounded with. I preferred using my senses to feel the fresh gush of winds or to watch the sunrise at the Two Medicine Lake of the park. I also found myself thinking more at the park; I would find myself thinking while trekking or every time I found a secluded corner for myself, and I would still perceive my surroundings and take in every little detail of the park, like the lakes, the trees, the mountains, other tourists taking pictures of the sceneries that we were surrounded with, all of it gave me a new perspective to life. C. The dimension that I felt the most while I was in Orange Beach was Optimism. The happiness that I feel when I am at the beach makes me feel optimistic about life. I did not feel efficacy because I did not have to worry about outcomes or consequences. I go there to have a good time, and I do just that; I was not hopeful because I had no time to think about the future when I was happy in the present. I felt no resilience because nothing was challenging about being at the beach and enjoying my time. However, when I was at Glacier National Park, I felt hope; I hoped that I would complete the whole trek or find myself and understand what I wanted from life because the trip was therapeutic. I was not optimistic because I had many things on my mind, and I felt no resilience or efficacy because there were not any difficulties or any outcome that would come out of that trip.More Articles From Management
