Why this happens remains unclear. Drawing from Positive Psychology and Self-Determination Theory, the present study investigated the effect of Facebook use on self-esteem as mediated by relatedness. Employing a cross-sectional non-experimental design, the mediation hypothesis was tested among 467 college students who agreed to answer...

...Furthermore, there is a need of services that matches individual youth needs that lead to successful transition. Securing a stable living place, whether private or state funded, is crucial to beginning the transition out of homelessness. The connections that youth developed proved the most beneficial, whether to social workers or other state workers, hostel staff, peers or family members, for transitions out of homelessness. These relationships provided support, motivation, and connection that the youth desired. This article is important to my research because it emphasizes the importance of community, something Ms. Schenk of YEAH! Berkeley pointed out during our interview. A woman who works at a homeless shelter once told me that people do not become homeless when they run out of money, rather they become homeless when they run out of relationships. This paper exemplifies that sentiment. If lack of connection leads to homelessness, then reestablishing connection creates pathways outside of it. Johnson, Guy and Chamberlain, Chris. "From Youth to Adult Homelessness." Australian Journal of Social Issues (Australian Council of Social Service), vol. 43, no. 4, Summer 2008, pp. 563-582. EBSCOhost, http://bit.do/dRMXC The authors outline reasons for the transition between youth and adult homelessness, aged 25 and older. When youth become homeless, they often lose contact with their friends, family, and peers from their home life. These youth often make connections to peers in similar situations...

...High context refers to societies or groups where people have close connections over a long period of time, while low context refers to societies where people tend to have many connections but of shorter duration or for some specific reason. In high context culture, many aspects of cultural behavior are not made explicit because most members know what to do and what to think from years of interaction with each other. Because high contexts can be difficult to enter if you are an outsider, I should expect some time until I can merge with team. I have to build long term relationships with each other in my team, also my bosses. Since decisions and activities focus around personal face-to-face relationships, often around a central person who has authority, I should focus on facial expressions, eye movement, and tone of voice of each other as well. I should respect my teammates to gain trust from them before doing business with them. After I can gain trust from them, I should work like everyone is my family members. The two approaches to managing team conflict which I prefer the most are collaborating and avoiding. Collaboration is both assertive and cooperative. This approach is...

...imperative and the most troublesome capacity in the administration process. No other administration capacity including arranging, choice making, authoritative conduct or controlling pulled in that much attention It is a head's business to goad specialists to complete their occupations well. So how do executives do this? The answer is inspiration in organization, the technique through which administrators urge delegates to be beneficial and convincing. Motivation is a complex sensation. A few speculations endeavor to clarify how inspiration functions. In administration circles, presumably the most prevalent clarifications of inspiration are taking into account the needs of the single person. It has been perceived that a man experiencing an extreme dietary inadequacy is debilitated. The hardship of physiological needs has behavioral outcomes. The same is genuine, albeit less...

...Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory Assumes that some needs are more important than others and must be satisfied before the other needs can serve as motivators Identifies five levels of individual needs • Physiology (hunger, thirst, sleep, etc.) • Safety/Security/Shelter/Health • Belongingness/Love/Friendship • Self-esteem/Recognition/Achievement • Self actualization Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid, with the largest and most fundamental levels of needs at the bottom, and the need for self-actualization at the top. The most fundamental and basic four layers of the pyramid contain what Maslow called "deficiency needs" or "d-needs": esteem , friendship and love, security, and physical needs. With the exception of the most fundamental (physiological) needs, if these "deficiency needs" are not met, the body gives no physical indication but the individual feels anxious and tense. Maslow's theory suggests that the most basic level of needs must be met before the individual will strongly desire (or focus motivation upon) the secondary or higher level needs. Maslow also coined the term Metamotivation to describe the motivation of people who go beyond the scope of the basic needs and strive for constant betterment. Metamotivated people are driven by B-needs (Being Needs), instead of deficiency needs (D-Needs). Physiological needs For the most part, physiological needs are obvious — they are the literal requirements...

...sector of biggest need. We constantly need more nurses, and with increased quantity, we need superior management. With this field being so big and constantly growing it is easy for the nurse staff to be overlooked and be burned out quickly. Because of the high stress nature of staff nursing, motivation, support, and proactive work improvement policies are very important to retain qualified nurses. Hence, caring and motivating staff is a big part of successful leadership in an industry. Motivating nurses is one of the biggest challenges of nursing management that can be met by introducing interactive and proactive processes and avoiding reactive responses. Before, we start to discuss that; we will describe what motivation is in essence and what are need-based theories of motivation, which may be helpful for RN managers to develop appropriate motivating strategies. Thus, what exactly is Motive and Motivation? By definition, a motive is an impulse that causes a person to act. Whereas, Motivation is an internal process that makes a person move toward a goal. Motivation, just like intelligence, cannot be directly observed. Alternatively, motivation can only be reasoned by noting a person’s behavior. Many researchers have developed theories such as Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which try to explain human motivation. Generally, all people have needs that they want to satisfy. Some can be classified as basic primary needs, such as those for food, sleep, and water. These needs deal with the...

...Abstract Living in a broken home will affect more than fifty percent of children born this year alone as they will have to endure the divorce of their parents before they’re of age ceremony; turning 18. Not only that, but children whom experience such a thing are more than likely to need psychological help. A broken household is the result from one’s parents divorcing, sometimes certain parents to never be seen again or even the start of abuse. The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic review of the evidence-based literature concerning broken homes, illness, behavior and delinquency. It is hoped that this study will inform those studying human development. Keywords: Broken, Home, Relationship, Bonding, Development, Action, Emotion. The Effects of Living in Broken Homes It is time, at last, to speak the truth about broken homes and the how they affect the psychological development of children. Problematic behavior in children up to adulthood goes hand in hand with how they were raised and what setting their childhood took place in. Depression, separation issues, anxiety, relationship problems, disorderly conduct and delinquency or even little emotional reaction could all be factors of living in a broken home. Not only is there a possibility of these actions, but relationships and bonding could also be put to a halt. Children can hardly control their emotions let alone actions upon having little to no structure. As Oxford points out, “it is not the actual break-up...

...PSYCHODRAMA I. Defining Psychodrama - Founded by Dr. Jacob Levy Moreno - Which means It means full psycho-realization - It is a technique for expressing difficult emotions and facing deep conflicts by having group participants enact significant life events. It is a method to externally express the internal psyche and work with a person's representation of the past, present, and future in the current moment. - Dr. Moreno defined psychodrama as "the science which explores 'the truth' by dramatic methods". Moreno emphasized that the main goal of psychodrama was to help clients discover their inner truth, express repressed re·pressed adj. Being subjected to or characterized by repression. .....

Brief Background and View to Human Nature Psychodrama was originated by Jacob Levy Moreno (1889-1974) who taught, practiced and continuously developed psycho-dramatic methods in Europe and United States since 1921 until his death in 1974. Moreno was born in Romania, immigrated to Austria with his family as a child, and moved to the United States in 1925. As a psychiatrist trained in Vienna at that time, his training was psychoanalytically oriented. However, he disagreed with Freudian focus on dysfunctions, and instead, developed an approach based on human strength and potential. He believed in innate human capacity...

...TEACHER HISTORICAL INFORMATION I’ve had 3 years teaching experience in the public school setting all of which have taken place at the middle school level, more specifically grades sixth and seventh. I began my teaching career as a physical education and health teacher, but I took and passed the Praxis II for Middle School Level Core Content Knowledge; this along with passing an Arkansas History collegiate course allowed me to add fourth through eighth grade mathematics, science, literature, and social studies to my teaching license. About three weeks into my first year teaching I was asked if I would be willing to teach science in addition to physical education to which I agreed. Since then I’ve either taught exclusively seventh and eighth grade science or a combination of physical education and science classes at said level. I also was the head coach for eighth grade girls sports and assistant for seventh grade girls sports which include: volleyball, basketball, and track and field. For this project I chose to concentrate on the interactions taking place in the science classroom setting as I feel it provides a more appropriate backdrop for this project. I feel like one of the more important qualities in both my personal and professional life is my ability to easily learn and process new information. This quality helped me immensely when I began teaching science because I had very little experience teaching in the classroom setting (just a semester of student teaching health)...

...College students’ academic motivation, media engagement and fear of missing out Dorit Alt Show more doi:10.1016/j.chb.2015.02.057 Highlights • Possible links between FoMO, social media engagement, and three motivational constructs were examined. • A new scale was designed to measure the extent to which students used social media tools in the classroom. • The links between social media engagement and motivational factors were mediated by FoMO. Abstract The concerns about the consequences of mental problems related to use of social media among university students have recently raised consciousness about a relatively new phenomenon termed Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). Drawing on the selfdetermination theory and on the assumption that low levels of basic need satisfaction may relate to FoMO and social media engagement, the aim of the present research was to examine for the first time possible links between FoMO, social media engagement, and three motivational constructs: Intrinsic, extrinsic and amotivation for learning. Data were gathered from 296 undergraduate students by using the following scales: Social Media Engagement (SME), Fear of Missing Out (FoMOs) and Academic Motivation. The SME is a new scale, specifically designed for this study to measure the extent to which students used social media in the classroom. This scale includes three categories: Social engagement, news information engagement and commercial information engagement. Path analysis results indicated that the positive links between social media...

...Helicopter Parenting Dawa Zangmu Paljor Sherpa Professor Vicki Villone English 102 29 January, 2015 Paljor Sherpa 1 Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they hover overhead, children will become dependent in life if their parents are always hovering over this.They pay extremely close attention to their kids lives, which includes their academic and personal lives. I choose this topic since I was quite in a shock to see different style of raising kids here and in my country. I migrated here to the States a year ago from my country Nepal with my family and planned to stay at my uncle's place for a few months who had been residing here for last 30 years. As the days passed by we all started beginning our day to day lives. Me and my younger brother attended school and parents went to work. First a few weeks, I was like a breathing statue who could not go to places on my own and would feel different talking to people. I did not feel that confident talking in English and interacting with people. I also got quite depressed with having no friends here. This seemed like a small issue to my parents and when I shared about it they always told me it will get better. But I started thinking and comparing myself to the other students here who were so confident in all the task they did. I am from an Asian background and have a totally different style of raising their children . Yes, every parent is worried about their kids future. Even my parents were, so they adopted...

...Robins & Boldero (2003) propose that dyadic relationships will become more intimate and trusting as the level of consistent commensurability of a person’s actual self, and perceptions of the other’s view of his or her actual self, increases. The implication for the development of authentic leader–member relationships in unconstrained settings is that followers and leaders will be most likely to form trusting and close relationships with persons who see them as they see themselves, i.e.—persons who see their true selves. Moreover, when ought selves serve as the source of commensurability, the follower will conclude the leader bhas the same standards as meQ (Robins & Boldero, 2003, p. 64), producing interpersonal feelings of justification. Finally, when the ideal selves serve as the source of commensurability, the follower will conclude that the leader bhas the same ideals and aspirations as meQ (p. 64) and experience feelings of cooperation and alliance. Thus, the highest levels of interpersonal trust, intimacy, cooperation, and goal alignment will be achieved when the follower and leader have congruent actual, ought and ideal selves. We believe such high levels of consistent commensurability are especially conducive to the formation of authentic leader–follower relationships, as both parties share similar ought and ideal selves, and accurately present and perceive their actual selves. Particularly relevant to our focus on follower self-regulation are instances where...
