... and our own family, to name a few. As we move through life we thus develop our own personal image of ourselves. This is not only created from our own thoughts, about ourselves, but also the influence and the perceptions that others have of us. This concept is called the ‘looking-glass self’. According to Dictionary.reference.com, the definition of this is, ‘the self-image an individual forms by imagining what others think of his or her behavior and appearance.’ The key word here is, ‘imagine.’ We are not influenced by the actual voiced opinion of others but we are influenced by what we believe or think we imagine other people’s opinions to be. Our perceptions of how others see us can be correct, or incorrect, thus feeding our imagination possible inaccurate thoughts and beliefs. Charles Horton Cooley (August 17, 1864 – May 7, 1929), an American sociologist and the eighth president of the American Sociological Association, shares this concept in three steps. 1. We imagine how we appear to another person. At times, this imagination is correct, but may also be wrong since it is merely based on our assumptions. 2. We imagine what judgments or opinions people make of us based on our appearance. 3. We imagine how the person feels about us, based on the judgments made of us....

...Dorothea Orem’s Theory: Self Care Deficit Critic Kouadio K. Koko BSN, RN University of Virginia School of Nursing Dorothea Orem’s Theory: Self Care Deficit Critic Abstract Dorothea Orem’s self-care theory of nursing is one of the major nursing theories. It pays particular attention to the role of the patient in their own rehabilitation, as it expounds the benefits of self-care. Orem’s theory is well documented and has been used by several researchers as a basis for their research. This particular theory of nursing is broad and can be applied to the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of prevention. Many nursing schools have used this theory as a benchmark or guide in their curriculum development. Introduction The following is a critical review of Dorothea Orem’s self-care theory of nursing; in which she advocates for a patient centered approach to nursing where the patient takes an active role in their own rehabilitation. This critical review takes a look at the purpose of the self-care theory, major concepts and definitions, its assumptions, its strengths and its weaknesses. The information provided in this report could be of benefit to a recently enrolled nursing student or any individual who wants to have a broader concept of one of the major nursing theories. Brief Summary of Theory Orem’s self-care theory of nursing basically surmises that the main purpose of the nurse is to facilitate the patient’s recovery; by helping the patients get to a point where they can...

...1. Describe the essential aspects of a self-directed, intrinsically motivated, active learner? To be able to learn well, firstly, a successful student should be able to transfer ideas to vary the context of situations that are faced in the immediate environment. This enables learning to be visualized in ways that ideas can be applied by the student. For example, when learning piano the lessons learnt are better understood when the student is able to practice using the piano itself than by only learning the notes. Secondly, spacing out learning over a period of time helps the student to retain ideas learnt through repetition by taking breaks. When learning activity is spaced out the student is able to track better what is learnt and does not end up feeling frustrated when taking on difficult concepts....

Need recognition: This can come from internal stimuli (basic needs such as hunger, thirst, protection) or external stimuli. Considering that people do not purchase fashion brands based on such needs as, “I am cold/naked and need protective covering,” this first step is likely to be based on external stimuli.

In Kelly’s family it is adult-centered, and her parents control the child’s welfare. Also, Kelly obey their parents invisible rule, careful not to do anything wrong in front of them. The typical Family Life Cycle (Olson & McCubbin, 1983), it mention that in stage 3, which a family with children in elementary or high school, just like Kelly’s family. In this stage, it is better for Kelly’s parents to establish the foundations of the children’s self-esteem, values, and lives. The parent-child relationships exert critical influences on children’s identities and self-concepts.

...approaches to change that are carried out in collaboration with organization members to help find improved ways of working together toward individual and organizational goals. 2. How does OD differ from a single-change technique such as management training? Answer: OD represents a systems approach that is concerned with the interrelationship of various divisions, departments, groups, and individuals as interdependent subsystems of the total organization. A single technique such as management training is aimed at changing individual behavior, whereas OD is focused on the larger goal of developing an organization-wide improvement in managerial style. OD uses many different techniques and no single technique represents the OD discipline. 3. Identify and demonstrate the uses of the psychological contract. Answer: Psychological contract involves the expectations on the part of individuals and organizations to which they belong or in which they take part (i.e., work). Each side must understand that such a “contract” exists and that unless these expectations are met, there will be conflict. 4. Explain the difference between pivotal and peripheral norms. Answer: Pivotal norms are essential to accomplishing the organization’s objectives. Peripheral norms support and contribute to the pivotal norms but are not essential to the organization’s objectives. 5. Explain three basic responses an individual may have to socialization.

...performance among secondary school students puts a lot of pressure on students, teachers, psychologist and in general, the educational system itself. In fact, it appeals as if the whole educational system revolves round the academic performance of students. Thus a lot of time and effort has been made by Educationist and psychologist to find various strategies to unraveling the complex determinant of academic performance, such as intelligence, study habit and other personality variables like self concept, anxiety and motivation. Me Comb etal (1990) suggested that students learning achievement depends on their attitude, motivation performance for success and study habit or skills that people employ to pursue the desire outcome. Bakare (1975) opines that intelligence accounts for little variance in academic performance. Therefore, more emphases had shifted from intellectual factors to non – intellectual factors such as some personality variables like self concept and study habit. Meanwhile, self concept, which mean the way an individual perceives his or herself, has now been recognized to play a vital role in students academic performance more so, students study habit has been regarded as one of the cardinal variables considered by the present study, it connotes student’s way of study whether systematic, efficient or inefficient which had negative or positive effect on academic performance, whether low or high. Low academic performance means performance below average whereas...
