|Changing Perspective Paper |how people as individuals may view a situation. Just as people can make snap judgments about | | |

| | | | |
| |Consider the following scenario: A man rode on a train, for example, and observed a woman in | | |
| |the seat across the aisle from him with two children. The children were being loud and were | | |
| |fighting. When one of the children knocked over the man’s coffee, he became aggravated and | | |
| |asked the woman, who sat there staring out the window, if she could control her children. The| | |
| |woman turned to the man half-coherent and apologized, explaining that she and her children | | |
| |were coming from the hospital where their father, her husband, had just passed away. | | |
| |Immediately, this changed how the man viewed the situation. | | |
| | | | |
| |Describe a situation that might be viewed differently by two people. This event can be as | | |
| |minor as an encounter on the street or as major as the birth of a child. | | |
| | | | |
| |Summarize how it could be viewed differently. How might religious, cultural, or personal | | |
| |beliefs influence how this event is interpreted? How might a person’s mood, personality, or | | |
| |situation influence how he or she interprets this event? | | |

Optional Discussion Questions

Week One Discussion Questions

• As individuals, people have the ability to make their own choices and decide for themselves. Many things, however, may influence their ability to choose freely. Choice, change, and control are three factors that influence the degree to which people choose. How does a person’s level of autonomy affect their sense of freedom? How would a person who aligns him or herself with the incremental theory view his or her sense of freedom differently from a person who aligns him or herself with the entity theory? How would a person with an internal locus of control view personal freedom as opposed to a person with an external locus of control?

• The textbook states that the most significant contribution positive psychology makes to the scientific study of well-being is the assessment of specific strengths. The textbook summarizes positive psychology as being aware that humans are both creatures and creators of their personal and social worlds. What does this statement mean to you? Do you agree that humans are both creatures and creators of their personal and social worlds? Explain your answer.

Week Three Discussion Questions

• Take the self-test on p. 47 of the textbook prior to answering the following questions:

o Is it difficult to see and feel significant personal issues from the perspective of another? Explain your answer. o After taking the self-test, how open are you to viewing the world from a perspective opposite of your own? o How can your ability to see another’s perspective affect the way you form impressions about others?

• What can you do to teach your children, a coworker, or anyone in your life to be empathetic? Why would you want to teach this skill?

Week Five Discussion Questions

• You have made the life-changing decision of earning a college degree. It may change your opportunities in life and your ability to earn and obtain the career you want, but it takes a significant commitment. What is the level of commitment to your goal? How has or may this commitment to your goal help you in difficult times? What specific changes have you made in your life to ensure you will complete this commitment to yourself?

• Earning your college degree takes dedication, commitment, and time. The motivation that drives you through the tough times and keeps you focused is the foundation for your commitment. Discuss whether your motivations for striving are intrinsic, introjected, identified, or extrinsic. Do you believe your goal of earning a degree is an approach goal or an avoidant goal? Explain your answer.

Week Seven Discussion Questions

• A person’s self-concept plays a large role in how he or she views the world; it helps a person process social information, judge feedback, and influences what he or she notices in others. Culture teaches people what values are important and may determine if they view themselves as independent, emphasizing being unique and expressing oneself, or interdependent, emphasizing a social connectedness. Your culture includes your family, friends, city, and country. Explain how your culture has influenced your self-concept.

• Research has demonstrated that people with high self-esteem are generally happier, less often depressed, and more likely to enjoy social activity. Is having high self-esteem, however, always a good thing? How might someone with high self-esteem be more likely to act inappropriately in certain situations?
