...Marasigan, Day Ann V. AB Psychology Lacaba, Nina BS Psychology CHAPTER 1 RESEARCH PROBLEM This chapter presents the Introduction of the study, Background of the study, Statement of the problem, Significance of the study and the Scope and Delimitations of the study. A. Introduction Study habit is the pattern of behavior adopted by students in the pursuit of their studies that serves as the vehicle of learning. It is the degree to which the student engages in regular acts of studying that are characterized by appropriate studying routines (e.g. reviews of material, frequency of studying sessions, etc.) occurring in an environment that is conducive to studying. No one can fully understand how a student feels every time she got low scores for her tests and examinations. No one can explain why they are neglecting their studies and ignoring the importance of education. No one can interpret their actions beside the people, who are once a student, preferably the students with their same stage. Student’s experiences within the classroom help to develop their behavioral, social, and academic skills. The quality of the interactions that students have with their teachers predicts later academic success (Pianta, Steinberg, & Rollins, 1995). The extent of student’s learning in academics may be determined by the grades a student earns for a period of learning has been done. It is believed that a grade is a primary indicator of such learning. If a learner earns...

...Behavioral and Social/Cognitive Approaches to Forming Habits 1. Behavioral and Social/Cognitive Approaches to Forming Habits Chris Stahl University of Phoenix Behavioral and Social/Cognitive Approaches to Forming Habits 2. Habits form in all of us in every aspect of our lives in everything we do. The cognitive portion in the way we view our habits as good or bad will influence us to either change our habits or hold onto them for a lifetime. Habits are not concrete and are dropped and adopted overtime, a continuous learning process. A habit is something that we no longer think about because it is such a regularity almost becoming involuntary behavior. A person may not even realize that they are doing something the same over and over because it is second nature. Sometimes habits can carry over into other things we may not intent, like a person that wakes up early Monday through Friday for work. On Saturday and Sunday the habit will carry over forcing them to wake up and start their day. It may be difficult to remember where and why a certain habit has been adopted unless you really focused on finding its origin. The common belief is that we simply adopt our parent’s habits (development, 2010). Sometimes when confronted with one of our strange habits we may deny them right away because we are not conscious to the fact that we are actually doing them. One of my big habits is being a neat freak; I have maintained this habit since I was...

...The Effects of Study Habits to the Academic Performance of the BSRT Students of Riverside College in the S.Y 2013-2014 CHAPTER I A. INTRODUCTION Learning is a very important personal matter and there isn’t one study habit that works for every situation. One needs to take more responsibility to acquire the desired knowledge to develop positive values, critical thinking, attitudes and skills. Effective studying skills and strategies give us opportunities to approach learning tasks systematically and independently. Practicing good study habits is the key to becoming smarter and achieving success in school. Buying out a dedicated scheduled and un-interrupted time to apply one’s self to the task of learning. Without it, one does not grow and becomes self-limiting in life. Study habits tell a person that how much he will learn and how far he wants to go, and how much he wants to earn. These all could be decided with the help of one’s study habits, throughout the life. The importance of study habits in student’s life is that, it plays a major role in their academic achievement, because without studies no one can be succeeded. (Sadia, 2005) Noted that habits of study, which are formed in school, have greater significance and students must realize the need to acquire these effective study habits. Effective studying will help students to prepare schoolwork in less time and achieve greater degree of mastery of the lesson. Students who study effectively and efficiently...

...Behavioral and Social Cognitive Approaches to Forming Habits A habit is a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up (Duhigg, 2012). Many people will have one habit or another. Attempting to turn around a negative behavior can be difficult. If you have not experienced the quit I will use the Behavioral Personality Theory to show how a person can be convinced to start smoking, the social cognitive to show how a person’s society and environment can play a huge role in a person getting started on smoking. Then I will use Operant and Classical conditioning to set up a plan to help someone to quit smoking. Analyze Habit The worst habit for me is smoking cigarettes. The role models for the habit were commercials on television all the time like the Marlboro man and how smooth the cigarettes tasted. Why do you continue this habit? I continue because it is a habit and the dopamine in the brain is lessened when quitting causing withdraws and that for some reason causes me to return to the habit. There have been many attempts to quit. The latest attempt I quit for four months. Behavioral Personality Theory The behavioral theory says that a personality is a result of interaction between a person and their environment (Ajzen, 2005). The behavioral theory is interested in how someone can change habits. By using positive and negative reinforcements changes many behaviors (Ajzen, 2005). When they examine their behavior they can understand through...

...Analyzing the Formation of Habits Hugo Navarro PSY/250 Sept. 17, 2012 Steven Gonzalez Analyzing the Formation of Habits In the following, I will analyze one of my habits and how the habit was developed. I will discuss whether or not there were role models for this habit and which people influenced the adoption of this habit. If the habit continues and if there has ever been a time when I have attempted to break the habit will be analyzed. The behavioral personality theory will be used to explain why I have this habit. I will describe components of social and cognitive theory and explain why the habit formed. I will develop a plan that applies operant conditioning to change the habit. In conclusion, I will discuss which theory best explains my personality. According to make-or-break-habits.com, habits are routine behaviors done on a regular basis. They are recurrent and often unconscious patterns of behavior and are acquired through frequent repetition. Many of these are unconscious as we don’t even realize we are doing them. Personally, I have a smoking habit. I believe that I picked this habit by watching both of my Parents, my Grand Parents, and most of my Aunts and Uncles smoke. Some would consider smoking and addiction. In my opinion, a habit can also be an addiction. Some believe the term addiction should be reserved for describing a physical dependency on chemical substances such as alcohol and drugs. Other addictions include a range of compulsive...

...Abstract Behavioral approach is based on the concept of explaining one’s behaviors through observation. The idea behind this approach is that the environment is the one that contributes to the different behaviors of individuals. Behaviorists assume that one can understand other people’s behaviors through observing. It can be observed in terms of responses to particular stimuli. The behavioral approach contrasts with the cognitive or social approach. The cognitive approach focuses on the way one can explain the disorders and behaviors through the cognitive processes. It explores the internal mental processes and the way people perceive, memorize, believe and solve problems. Cognitive is psychology that is relative to human behaviors that focuses on the way people think and such thought process affect their way of behaviors. I have a bad smoking habit, in which I developed while I was incarcerated. I always told myself that I would never pick up this terrible habit when I was a teenager, more importantly I didn’t pick up smoking until I was 18. There were role models for my smoking habit, such as the lady prisoners who smoke on a daily basis. They had told me “try it, it will calm your nerves down”, granted that it would calm my nerves down, I tried it. I was coughing at first, but then I felt a sensation that I had felt the first and last time ever, a sensation that I can’t explain, but that sensation felt so good. A sensation I been chasing years later, that I am aware...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS Background of the study Orszag (2001) Working while attempting to obtain a degree has become a pervasive lifestyle for today’s University students among the reasons contributing to an ever increasing trend of working during education could be the increasing financial pressures from higher college tuition and fees, the necessity of gaining social experiences, and academic requirements for practical internships. The likelihood of working while in school for college students has been increasing particularly as the cost of education has also been rising. Noni’s and Hudson (2006) Academic performance is measured by the standing of rates of grades of student in every subject. Having a high level of performance on the academic area of a student suggest its competency and high level of confidence on its certain field. Students have their own attitude towards learning and achieving a high level of academic performance. The development of their enthusiasm towards succeeding in their own field varies. In order for a student to succeed he needs to be armed with strategies and techniques that will supplement his desire to reach his goals. Crede and Kuncel (2008) One way is to have an efficient and adaptive study habit. This phenomenon can be linked to multi factors that affect their study habit. Such factors can be found in their environment, these includes the type of house they live in; the people around them and the level of support...

...Poor College Study Habits 10 Common Study Skills Mistakes that Students Make 1. Poor Attendance. This may be the most common student mistake-- and the most unavoidable. If you want to succeed in college, you need to be in class all or most of the time. There's no way around that. 2. Poor Notetaking Skills. Unfortunately, many students come to college without having mastered this critical skill. To succeed in school, you need to learn how to listen actively and take accurate, thorough lecture notes. 3. Poor Time Management Skills. Many college students are overwhelmed with multiple academic and other responsibilities, so learning to manage your time is essential. 4. Last Minute Work. If you write a paper at the last minute, it shows. If you try to do the reading at the last minute for the test that's tomorrow, you're unlikely to do well on the test. While it may be impossible to completely avoid the experience of pulling an all-nighter, do the best you can to keep up with the work on the syllabus. 5. Procrastination. Of course, the issue of last minute work is related to procrastination. Learning to stay focused is a skill, especially with so many distractions like Facebook and video games around campus. 6. Failure to Read Directions. If your instructor hands you a detailed description of how to write an assignment, read the description very carefully and follow directions. If you have any questions, ask the instructor, and if he or she goes over the assignment...

...Behavioral and Social Learning Approaches Behavioral and Social Learning Approaches The personality of the human being is quite sophisticated. In contemporary psychology the various approaches are genuinely different. An approach is ones prospective or opinion which can be many. We can compare this meaning to our study of the bible. There is a certain amount of assumption in human behavior. No one approach is the answer to all; however most behaviorist, believe there approach is the only true scientific one. Social approaches are thoughts, processes, and feeling influenced by others. Early Americans used this approached often when rearing children. The sons thought process was that of his father. This fostered positive to negative behavior. If the father was the bread runner of the house then he taught by mouth or led by example to his son. The father worked, cut the grass, made minor repairs around the house, and made most of the decisions from, what the family would eat; to what time the family went to bed. Therefore the son’s behavior the way he raised his family would be molded. This thought process was strong. It could mold the behavior of a young boy to select the proper mate. Because from the actions of his father and the way the mother would follow in the boys mind this is how a mate should act. Today are behaviors are shaped from almost any entity. Television, athletes, computer games shape our behaviors and adults rearing children some unconsciously...

...?Purpose: The main aim of this paper is to propose a market segmentation approach based on all phases of wine purchase and consumption process. To this aim, we investigated the main components of wine purchasing behavior and the socio-demographic profile of those who are both wine buyers and consumers. ?Design/methodology/approach: Starting from consumer behavior literature, we identified six phases in the purchasing process and we operationalized each of them. A structured questionnaire was developed according to such framework and an empirical study was carried out. We realized 630 interviews to wine buyers and consumers. Then, we performed a cluster analysis in order to identify the most relevant market segments. ?Findings: Four main segments emerged from the cluster analysis. A description of demographic and behavioral features characterizing the identified segments is provided. ?Practical implications: The proposed framework may provide a clear guidance to reach a market segmentation able to address effectively the marketing strategies. By characterizing different groups of consumers on the base of multiple variables related to each phase of the purchasing process, the proposed segmentation has implications both for strategic decisions, such as positioning, and operative ones (i.e. product, price, place, promotion). 1. INTRODUCTION In the last decades wine market has been characterized by radical changes on both sides of supply and demand, thus making...

...“A study about the effects of watching Anime to the study habit of high school students.” A. Background of the Study Anime is a type of cartoon but rather, it is complex, mature, broader, and even the animation drawing is on a higher level than that of a mere cartoon. Anime, which originated in Japan, is drawn by a “Mangaka” (artist) into manga (comic) drafts. These drafts are then rearranged, colored and synchronized by a hundred of staff. After the sequencing, a “Seiyuu” (Voice Actor) will give life to the character. One second of movement needs twenty-five to thirty-five drafts of drawing. Since it originated in Japan, most of the Animes shows the culture and hidden beauty of Japan, its technological advancement, friendship, love and student’s life, the Japanese way. Popular nowadays, Anime had touched the heart of many viewers. Some popular Anime such as DragonBall Z, Ghost Fighter, Naruto and Voltes V. This Animes had dominated the media industry in the past few years. Japan has a very unique culture. The Philippines, on the other hand, lacks that kind of culture, that is, its very own culture is made of by the mixture of cultures of other countries such as America, Spain and China. That is why many Filipinos are fascinated with such culture. Anime proposed amazing concepts and catchy storyline that is humorous yet fascinating. It also features some future ideas about what would take place in the future and what technological advancements can people expect...
