The first study consisted of 217 individuals contacted from the research team’s network via email for participation. The average age of participants was 36.07 years old and 52.30% were female. The participants were from multiple career areas: 12.3% were from health services, 10.5% were from IT, 8.6% from engineering and architecture, 8.2% from human resources, and 7.7% from education. In the first study, participants were given a questionnaire via email at Time 1 and told they would be contacted in one year to complete another survey which would be known as Time 2. The questions measured locus of control, which was measured using 8 items from the Work Locus of Control Scale developed by Spector (1998) and perceived sacrifice and few alternatives …show more content…
The authors noticed there was a lack of research in examining how global autonomous motivation and global perceived control work together in influencing subjective well-being. There was also a lack of knowledge around how global autonomous motivation and global perceived control are related to each other and whether they influence emotional well-being. The authors also argued that it was important to study young adults’ global sense of control across different areas of life and their global motivation towards their goals. This study defined autonomous motivation as motivation that is high in self-determination. Global perceived control was defined as the extent to which one regards one’s life-chances as being under one’s own control. The authors expected baseline measures of perceived control and autonomous motivation would interact in predicting goal progress and improvements in emotional well-being over time. They also predicted that autonomously motivated individuals with high levels of perceived control were expected to predict adaptive behavior and inversely those who were not autonomously motivated would generally show lower levels of adaptive behavior. They also predicted that goal progress would statistically relate to effects of global autonomous motivation and perceived control in predicting emotional
The author of “Be Sure You're Right, Then Go Ahead”: The Davy Crockett Gun Craze is by Sarah Nilsen. The purpose of the article is to give detail of how Davy Crockett became the emblem that was known for guns and coon skin hats. The author does not specifically identify the purpose of the article. The purpose is well stated in the detail given about how the legend became a legend and what part Walt Disney played in it. The war, families, television shows, toy makers, and any other company that could profit from Davy Crockett and The Wild Frontier played a major role in making Davy such a legend.
How should the institutions be set up when organizing a new government in a country with several religious factions? I would set up a constitutional democracy with a three-tier system much like our own. The differences would be a judiciary would be independent and elected in a general election much like the states do it. The highest court would be the Constitutional court that would hear only cases pertaining to the Constitution; whereas the Supreme Court would be the highest court of appeal for any cases not pertaining to the constitution. This would lighten the load and burden of our highest courts from having to take on the burden of so many different court cases, or quick appeals when it comes to the death penalty.
Anxiety Disorders are an extremely prevalent type of mental disorder that affect approximately 10% of the population (Burton, Westen and Kowalski, 2015). One of the lesser-known Anxiety Disorders is Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) affecting around 2% of the population (ABS, 2007d, as cited in Burton, Westen & Kowalski, 2015). Stapinski, Abbot and Rapee (2010), define GAD as “persistent anxiety at a moderate, but disturbing level [in addition to] unrealistic worry about life circumstances” (as cited in Burton et al., 2015). Furthermore, GAD has been closely linked with depression and a reduced life quality (Roemer, Orsillo & Salters-Pedneault, 2008).
The control group was asked to simply report back on their levels of happiness whereas the experimental group were asked each day whether they had done their best to be happy. As a result, the experimental group ended up with a greater gain in overall reported happiness. From the research, Goldsmith concludes that triggering someone’s sense of control is very important to how happy they feel but intention is only party of the answer (Cox).
Legal Analysis and Critique Essay An understanding of different legal theories and relevant historical context can assist in the development of a critical analysis of case decisions. Critical analysis on court decisions can be formulated on legal theories that were present and relevant historical context that could have impacted the final decision made by the judges of the court. With the use of legal theories such as legal positivism and legal formalist and historical context such as constitutional rights Indigenous Australians possessed and recent developments like Mabo and Native Title Act, a critical analysis can be formed for the decision in Walker v New South Wales (1994) 182 CLR 45.
I found the comments from Josh and the two peer reviews extremely helpful in this writing process. When I submitted my initial topic (the California drought), Josh made it very clear that it was too broad, and suggested I focus on a particular area and a particular crop. He later mentioned specific issues to discuss, such as if grapes are particularly water intensive and therefore more prone to the effects of the drought. Throughout the peer review process, there were three main suggestions that were brought to my attention. The first was to reorder several of my paragraphs to allow for better flow. When I went back and reread my paper, it became clear to me that the reviewer was correct in this assertion, and I accordingly made a change. The other reviewer was more concerned with some of the convoluted phrases I used and also said that my topic and concluding sentences were not as strong as they could be. She highlighted the certain places in which I needed to fix these issues, which I greatly appreciated. With regards to the phrasings, I found that in many cases my wording could be simplified. However, some of them seemed like more personal choices on her behalf, and those were left unchanged. As far as starting and concluding my paragraphs goes, I saw that at times my topic
The following analysis attempts to understand how to best formulate a stochastic model using empirical data and the proposed Kaya Identity, as well as further explore components of the IPAT equation that measures human impact on the surrounding ecological system. Using Quarterly Data from the United States from 1980-2016, an econometric critique and environmental exploration of datasets, regression functions, and pitfalls of the latter will help further examine previous works on the use of the Kaya Identity
Until my senior year in high school, I have always doubted my own ability to write. I felt as if I was never in the position to edit someone else paper because mine own writing skills were not flawless. English 1101 help me realized that I no one's writing is perfect but I could learn something from them that I may would of never known. When editing my peers paper, I want to make sure their papers flow thoroughly and properly support the thesis.
Firstly, they found that the attainment of fame was of higher importance for all participants after one year than two. Also only one gender difference was observable, for the goal of community involvement ,which females surpassed males. However both genders were close regardless, so this was not of much importance to the researchers. Afterwards, they created a model measuring the levels of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation after one year verses two years after graduation. This model showed them that extrinsic goals, often titled American dreams do not support personal wellness. Achieving these causes, no increase in happiness and in fact caused an increase in ill-being. In contrast, intrinsic goals focus on self-betterment ultimately leading to additional positive emotions and experiences. This action created a cyclical structure of intrinsic goals, they act as a natural reinforcer to future intrinsic
In this essay, the researcher will be investigating how control, through emotional labour is exerted into the chosen organisation and how it is expressed and experienced by both managers and employees alike. The findings, which will be presented in the latter stages of
The writer’s thesis is really specific and focused, and it is easy to locate. However, I think you can polish the thesis statement a little bit to make it more clear and easier to understand. The thesis also reflects the ideas in body paragraphs. The writer’s thesis is well-supported by concrete details from body paragraphs, and the writer uses the example of CNN reporting Oikos shooting to analyze its coverage of the mass shooting. However, the writer still needs to incorporate at least one source from class readings and at least one popular source. The writer describes a specific problem and uses several quotations from the source. The writer incorporates source materials really well
It can be widely stated that life holds meaning when the individual living it understands it to matter in some greater sense and when it holds significance outside of inconsequential or temporary moments (King, Hicks, Krull, & Del Gaiso, 2006). A wide range of evidence exists in support of the pursuit of meaningful goals and the determination of direction in life (i.e. establishing a sense of purpose) among adults. More specifically, these concepts have been found to correspond with several positive outcomes within adult populations, namely increased positive affect (PA; King et al., 2006), happiness and satisfaction in life (Heisel & Flett, 2004; Scannell, Allen, & Burton, 2002), psychological well-being (Ryff, 1989; Wong & Fry, 1998; Zika & Chamberlain, 1992), self-efficacy (DeWitz, Woosley, & Walsh, 2009), and resilience (Frankl, 1959; Masten & Reed, 2002). However, the processes found to be underlying these positive
According to Skene, A, a critical review is much more than a simple summary; it is an analysis and evaluation of a book, article, or other medium.
The research done by Erik G. Helzer and Eranda Jayawickreme focuses on how two control routes, primary control and secondary control connect to two branches of subjective well-being (SWB), positive/negative affective experience and global life satisfaction (SWL). The researchers applied statistics methods to analyze the samples of undergraduates and from online. They also intend to verify if secondary control has been underestimated as an effective way to master one’s circumstances.
