3. Think about a time in your life where you felt like you were thriving. Turn to the person next to you and describe that situation.

4. Eileen Current student development theory gives us a great theoretical model to conceptually address our work. But does it capture how we can help students go beyond just existing to thriving? Perhaps, but what if we had thriving as our primarily goals as opposed to natural maturation. I began to search for an understanding of how to help students not just survive by thrive. I came upon the new movement in psychology called positive psycho.Eileen Current student development theory gives us a great theoretical model to conceptually address our work.

38. Think of a specific student who you would say is highly successful. How would you describe what led to their success? Truman Scholar: I think a lot of what leads to someone�s success is just not confidence but being able to feed off of your own energy and your own drive rather than other people.

39. Vitality/Zest Intrinsic energy that can be facilitated or hindered by factors associated with psychological needs: Providing students with choices and opportunities for self-direction can support their need for autonomy. For authentic motivation to occur, students must see themselves as active agents engaged in a meaningful experience integrated with their own goals and values--chosen and relevant to their own goals. Controlling contexts undermine vitality. An environment that supports students� needs for competence is characterized by clear expectations, optimal challenges, and timely feedback Relatedness supported by learning environments that foster a sense of community is comprised of four key elements: (1) membership, or a sense of belonging; (2) ownership, or a sense of voice and contribution; (3) relationship, or emotional connections with others in the community; and (4) partnership, or an interdependence in working toward mutual goals Providing students with choices and opportunities for self-direction can support their need for autonomy.

49. Developing Altruistic Love Should we use extrinsic motivators to encourage alturistic behavior? Extrinsic motivators may hinder altruism Ryan & Deci�s - Self Determination Theory Eileen The current study investigated the influence of rewards on very young children's helping behavior. After 20-month-old infants received a material reward during a treatment phase, they subsequently were less likely to engage in further helping during a test phase as compared with infants who had previously received social praise or no reward at all. This so-called over justification effect suggests that even the earliest helping behaviors of young children are intrinsically motivated and that socialization practices involving extrinsic rewards can undermine this tendency.

50. Developing Altruistic Love Good Samaritan Study City Differences Study Eileen People going between two buildings encountered a shabbily dressed person slumped by the side of the road. Subjects in a hurry to reach their destination were more likely to pass by without stopping. Some subjects were going to give a short talk on the parable of the Good Samaritan, others on a nonhelping relevant topic; this made no significant difference in the likelihood of their giving the victim help. Religious personality variables did not predict whether an individual would help the victim or not.
