PSY 334 Exam 2 || with 100% Errorless Solutions.
What makes people start a change correct answers -expected benefits secondary to the change
itself
-we expect admiration or appreciation
-we look for change more for the outcome
-change ourselves in ways we perceive lead to success
-need for control > discrepancy between perceived and real control

what makes people stop that change correct answers - Is the change realistic?

- demotivation and feelings of hopelessness

- unrealistic goals

- obtained result does not meet expectations

realistic vs unrealistic changes correct answers - are the desired outcomes realistically linked to
the changes that we planned to make (eg. weight, looks, physical assets)
- we expect change more and faster than feasible
-we reject more realistic goals
- demotivation
- unmet unreasonable expectations for self change lead to frustration, despondence, and to give
up change
- unrealistic beliefs create false hope = failure of the attempt
- unmet unrealistic goals = disappointment, discouragement, and perception of ourselves as
failures

The false hope syndrome def. correct answers Unfulfilled expectations of self change
-attempts have initial success
- usually initial success if followed by "blocks"/relapses
- we develop feelings of guilt and hopelessness

Stages of false hope syndrome correct answers Phase 1: failure
Phase 2: misinterpretation of failure (attributions)
Phase 3: try again

Phase 1: failure correct answers Happens because:
- amt., speed, ease of change
- effect of change (life will change)
- obtained result does not meet expectations
- no good goals: unrealistic GOALS

Phase 2: misinterpretation of failure (attributions) correct answers - attribute failure to lack of
willpower or effort
- eg. TV testimonials (if they did it, I can too)

, - if I am not getting there, I need more effort
- blame it on the program
- how about unrealistic expectations

Phase 3: try again correct answers - Correctable reason for failure
- put in more effort, try new program

why do we keep going?
-absence of deterrents
- difference than presence of incentives
- success attractive

Hope =/= self confidence

self confident people characteristics (internal) correct answers more resilient in front of barriers
more effort (b/c they believe)
confidence not omnipotent

Hope definition correct answers some indeterminate combination of internal and external factors
will lead to success (or failure)

Goal definition correct answers an objective, standard, aim of some action
- level of performance one wants to attain
- can be set for just about all aspects of life

why is goal setting important correct answers excellent motivation tool
- something to work towards, feedback along way, if successful - esteem can increase

clarifies expectations - well documented goals allow to know what is expected

like a roadmap - gives steps to the destination

IMPORTANT PART OF CHANGING BEHAVIOR

types of goals correct answers objective - attaining a specific standard of proficiency on a task,
usually in a specified time

subjective - general and dependent upon interpretation

Three types of objective goals correct answers Process - focus on full experience/ process
performance - focus on overcoming previous personal achievement
outcome - focuses on results

Long term vs short term goals correct answers long term goals give direction

short term goals allow for immediate feedback
