Julian Rotter and Walter Mischel both theorized that cognitive aspects, more so than direct reinforcements, establish human reactions to environmental influences. Both psychologists propose that human expectations of impending events are the foremost factors in determining human performance. Recognized for his cognitive social learning model of personality, Mischel’s theory centered on the particular cognitive variables that intervene with the way new experiences influence a person (Feist & Feist
Imagine, you just recently came down with a cold and you are feeling really sick. How did you end up getting sick in the first place, was it just due to random chance, or was it because you were stressed and not watching your health?

grade on that science test you took? “Man, I should’ve studied more,” “This is the teacher’s fault!” “I just have bad luck.” All of these are prime examples of “locus of control.” Locus of control is a psychological term developed by a man named Julian B. Rotter. There are two versions around locus of control, and the meanings depend of the type of people who have them. For example, the first statement is a view of someone with an internal locus of control. These types of people believe that their efforts
Each and every person is unique. “An individual’s identity is who or what a person is; the name or essential character that identifies somebody.” Examples would include beliefs, ethnicity, values, choices, habits, interests, and finally, sexuality (Napolitano, 2010, p. 104). “Identity is a term used throughout to describe individuals as a discrete, separate entity and is how a person is defined.” It could also include their name, gender and race. On the other hand, personality would be qualities
Locus of Control “The extent to which people believe they have power over events in their lives. A person with an internal locus of control believes that he or she can influence events and their outcomes, while someone with an external locus of control blames outside forces for everything,” (Fournier, n.d.).

The concept of coping is fascinating because it analyses the way in which an individual responds to a situation, as well as whether or not it is effective. Lazarus and Folkman (1984) defined coping as the "constantly changing cognitive and behavioural efforts made by individuals to manage specific external and/or internal demands that are appraised as taxing or exceeding the resources of the person".

locus of control construct can be interpreted in various ways in order to reveal how personal ideologies can influence choice and reason. The locus of control in its nature can be deciphered in varying manners according to theoretical approaches. Julian Rotter’s internal- external scale (1966) introduced a one-dimensional approach to understanding the perception of individuals to situational outcomes in the real world (Levenson 1981, Pg 16-18).

Aline Zghayyar Review of Literature There is an increasing recognition that affective factors play a critical role in the teaching and learning of mathematics. A number of researchers have investigated the relationship between the affective and the cognitive domains.

of Rome's laws and customs, committed to writing much later, have their roots in the distant past. Ancient Rome had many different types of law in government.

Emperor Augustus notice social problems at Rome, and he detected that extravagance and adultery were very common in the Roman Government. In the upper
through a particular light and given specific occasions in the film, we can see how 42nd Street echoes the general attitudes of the Great Depression. Particular characters in the film exemplify the wealthy citizens of the time, the common laborer, and Julian Marsh (Warner Baxter) portrays a life-force, Franklin Roosevelt, bringing hope along with his New Deal. Throughout the film, there is a dichotomy exhibited through the members of the production and the financiers, namely Abner Dillon. He represents

Julian waved cheerily. Fifty-seven eyelids batted. "He's here for today's discussion on the biological origins and implications of sibling rivalry among humans. I expect you all to participate." Despite his gruffness, he received only minimal acknowledgement. "Julian," he continued, noting with ire

At first he was behaving horrible in front of his son, but by the end of the movie he was making a positive impact on his neighborhood with his son. Sandler began to realize that his own poor behavior had a negative effect on Julian’s behavior. He also showed more hospitality at home with Julian by sharing the TV with him and letting

relationship between Julian, a young man who has recently graduated from college, and his mother. It takes place in a city in the South soon after integration. Much like Emily Grierson in William Faulkner’s "A Rose for Emily," Julian’s mother is a product of the "Old South." She takes tremendous pride in her heritage due to the fact that her ancestors were people who were once very highly respected. Her grandfather was a former state governor as well as a plantation and slave owner. Julian sees his mother
some cases, the child will emotionally detach himself from his parent in order to achieve this feeling of independence. In Flannery O'Connor's short story, Everything That Rises Must Converge, the relationship between Julian and his mother is a situation where the child, Julian, has tried to gain a feeling of independence by emotionally detaching himself from his mother. Julian's financial dependence on his mother has made him very bitter. His need to justify his mother's struggle to better
