In Tanzania wordt aan ons gevraagd of we een training willen voorbereiden over 'Studying Skills'. Hierbij moesten we denken aan een basistraining voor kinderen van verschillende leeftijden. Dingen die voor ons in de westerse wereld heel normaal zijn, dingen die wij automatisch doen en van jongs af aan meekrijgt, is hier totaal niet normaal en moeten de kinderen nog allemaal leren. Dit was het uitgangspunt van de hele training.

Met dat uitgangspunt zijn we begonnen met het maken van de training. We hebben besloten om de training uit verschillende onderwerpen te laten bestaan, zo komen listening skills, how to take notes, time budgeting, how to make a schedule, studying area, how to scan a text, stress management, motivation and concentration aan bod. Deze onderwerpen hebben we allemaal kort behandeld tijdens de trainingen: we noemen alleen de basis dingen.

We eindigden elke training met een spel om de kinderen te leren hoe ze vocabulaire moeten leren. Op het bord maakten we een schema met aan de linkerkant van de lijn woorden in het Swahili en aan de andere kant van de lijn (nog) niks. Een voor een gingen we de woorden langs en de kinderen moesten ze vertalen naar het Engels. Zo leren ze tegelijkertijd ook nog is een beetje Engels en bovendien hebben ze er plezier van!

De training is geschreven in het Engels en wij hebben hem ook in deze taal gegeven, we hadden elke keer een vertaler (lees: iemand van het weeshuis) bij ons die het aan de kinderen uitlegde in Swahili.

Het is belangrijk om de kinderen over dit onderwerp iets te leren, omdat ze zo hun tijd efficient kunnen invullen. Vaak moeten de kinderen na school ver naar huis lopen en allerlei klusjes doen: tijd voor huiswerk is vaak lastig in te plannen. Door ze te leren hoe ze hun tijd het best in kunnen vullen en hoe ze het makkelijkst kunnen leren, kunnen ze toch naar hun school met een goed resultaat afronden.

De training hebben wij al gemaakt, dus het enige wat je nog nodig hebt om de training te geven is stift, grote vellen papier en eventueel plakband om het op te hangen. Deze dingen zijn ook niet noodzakelijk, maar wel handig zodat de kinderen kunnen lezen wat je ze verteld. De kinderen waren erg enthousiast en soms stonden de kinderen buiten nog mee te luisteren omdat ze het ook interessant vonden. Het had dus zeker zin wat we deden!

Het zijn maar kleine dingen, maar juist deze dingen maken het verschil!
Veel succes met het geven van de trainingen :)

 

How to teach studying skills?

Studying SkillsListening skills

  • Be quiet
  • Pay attention to the lessons instead of your friends or the environment
  • Take notes while listening
  • Ask questions
  • Be interactive with the lessons --> participate instead of just listening
  • Respect your teacher

How to take notes

  • Do not write everything down, only the important key words
  • When you're making notes, ask questions for more information about the subject
  • If you don't understand something just ask for explanation
  • If you didn't hear something correctly just ask the teacher to repeat it
  • Make sure you write down the notes the teacher gives you
  • Begin the page with a title -->for example if the subject is English and the lessons are going to be about grammar, the title will be something like: English Grammar
  • If possible write the notes down in a notebook/exercise book instead of using loose papers

Time budgeting

  • Make a schedule
  • Separate your spare time and your time for doing your homework
  • Make sure you take enough breaks for example: take a break of ten minutes after one hour of working. When you take some rest you can learn more.

How to make a schedule?

  • Time schedule
  1. 08.00 am - 02.00 pm: Schoolday
  2. 02.00 pm - 03.00 pm: Spare time
  3. 03.00 pm - 04.30 pm: Homework time
  4. 04.30 pm - 04.45 Short break
  • Week schedule
  1. Monday: Mathematics: Chapter 1
  2. Thuesday: English: Words 1+2
  3. Wednesday: History: Paragraph 1
  • Task schedule

o Reading skills English
o Chapter 1 History
V Paragraph 1 Mathematics
o Chapter 1 Science

Studying area

  • Find a place where it is quiet, because when it is quiet you can concentrate better
  • Also make sure that you feel comfortable at the place you´re studying
  • Make sure there aren´t any distractions
  • Take everything you need with you
  • If you like to work together, work in groups of 2 or 3 so you can study together and help each other (it shouldn't be too cosy)

How to study vocabulary?

  1. Make a list of the vocabulary you need to study
  2. Write an explanation of the word behind every word
  3. Copy all of the words on another paper
  4. Take the list of vocabulary and mark the words you already know
  5. Take another blank paper and cover all the words  with it.
  6. Show 4/5 (more or less, depends on how much you can take) words, read them, repeat them for yourself, cover them up  repeat them again for yourself.
  7. Show the next couple of words and repeat step 5.

If you have done these steps you will probably know the words, so you can test yourself.

  1. Make a list of words in Swahili and put the English words behind it from the top of your head.
  2. The ones you didn't know or did wrong, write them down for 10 times.

Another way:

1. Make small cards with on one side the word in Swahili and on the other side the translation in English.
2. Look at one side and guess the translation. If you guessed right you put on the 'right' pile and if you guessed wrong you put it on the 'wrong' pile.

*How do you guys study your vocabulary?

Motivation

- Think about the mark you're going to get
- Think about the reason why you're studying (Why ARE you studying?)

Stress management

  • Good planning
  • Think this: Doing your best is the best you can do
  • If you are stressed, talk with someone you feel comfortable with.
  • Take enough brakes. It's good to put your mind on something else if your too stressed by doing something you like.
Thesis help

Thesis help

What?

  • All first year students following the bachelor Psychology at the University of Amsterdam have to write their propaedeutic thesis at the end of the academic year. This can be a daunting challenge! To aid you in this cumbersome process, this page has been made with tips and tricks to finish the year in style. Additionally, an example thesis (which has been graded with an 8.5) has been added to the page as well.

Tips:

  1. Plan and organize: While this may seem self-explanatory, planning and organizing is the key part towards not only completing the thesis, but also getting a good grade. Make sure you break down your objectives into smaller tasks and try to set deadlines for yourself. For example, set the goal to 'write a research description in the next two hours' rather than use the goal 'work on my introduction'.

  2. Set realistic goals: Try and break down your writing into smaller goals, such as completing a certain number of pages or sections each day. Setting achievable targets will help you stay motivated and make steady progress. It can be beneficial to try and make your goals SMART) or DART.

  3. Establish a routine: Develop a writing routine that works best for you. Dedicate specific blocks of time each day for writing, and create a quiet and focused environment to minimize distractions.

  4. Use the red thread strategy: Make sure you establish what you want to convey in a paragraph before writing it, the so-called red thread. Model your text after this, rather than fitting this in after writing your paragraph. This can help you not add irrelevant information and stay on topic.

  5. Research effectively: Ever found a good article and wish there were more? Check out the sources that this article cites and use this to your benefit. No need to find new sources every time as you can build on the literature research others have already done!

  6. Write in drafts: Don't strive for perfection in your first draft. Start by getting your ideas down on paper, and then revise and refine them in subsequent drafts. This approach helps to alleviate the pressure and allows for more effective editing. For example, if you don't know how to formulate a sentence exactly, just write it down and revisit it later. 

  7. Use peer feedback: Discuss your work and struggles with other students. This helps you improve your own work, but it also shows you that others are experiencing the same struggles as you might be facing.

  8. Take breaks: Writing a thesis can be a lot - and you can definitely not write it if you are burned out. Make sure to take enough breaks and refresh your mind, for example by going on a walk or calling your friends. 

  9. Establish a clear outline: Determine the structure of your text before you start writing it to ensure that all content will be relevant.

  10. Evaluate your implicit argumentation: Always ask yourself the question 'why?'. After studying a specific topic for a while, things may seem abundantly clear or even common sense to you. This is mainly because you have been reading about it a lot. For the reader of your thesis, this knowledge may not be as common sense, so always check your writing for implicit argumentations. Do you always answer the question 'why'?

  11. Belief in yourself: A thesis is daunting and this may be the most challenging part of a thesis, believing in yourself. You might think that a lot of people are doing better but it is not productive to compare yourself to others. Everyone has their own topic and, most importantly, everyone has their own route and strategy. Keep your own pace and belief in yourself. You can do it!

Tricks:

  1. Use AI: Although using AI can be frowned upon as people often use it to plagiarize, it can also aid you in your writing process. Don't know the exact word for something? Try and use AI to find the word for you. It is perfectly fine to ask AI to help you with your grammar but don't let AI write your thesis. Make sure it remains your own text and just use it to get rid of any language mistakes.

  2. Use examples: Writing a thesis can be pretty challenging, especially when it is the first time doing so. Nothing wrong in taking inspiration from others. This does not mean that you should copy other people's style or, even worse, their content, but you can take a look to look at the way they argue and to assess their structure. This can go a long way in writing a good thesis!

  3. Use the grading structure to review your thesis: While everyone has their own writing style and their own strengths and weaknesses, the grading structure that teachers use tends to be the same for everyone. Make sure to check it out before handing in your thesis to see if there is something you can still improve upon!

  4. Make use of Grammarly: This is a tool that can help you quickly spot any spelling or grammar mistakes. Make sure to check whether you agree with the suggestions of Grammarly), though, as a computer cannot always take context into account!

How to triumph over the theory of statistics (without understanding everything)?

Stats of students

  • The first years that you follow statistics, it is often a case of taking knowledge for granted and simply trying to pass the courses. Don't worry if you don't understand everything right away: in later years it will fall into place, and you will see the importance of the theory you had to know before.
  • The book you need to study may be difficult to understand at first. Be patient: later in your studies, the effort you put in now will pay off.
  • Be a Gestalt Scientist! In other words, recognize that the whole of statistics is greater than the sum of its parts. It is very easy to get hung up on nit-picking details and fail to see the forest because of the trees
  • Tip: Precise use of language is important in research. Try to reproduce the theory verbatim (i.e. learn by heart) where possible. With that, you don't have to understand it yet, you show that you've been working on it, you can't go wrong by using the wrong word and you practice for later reporting of research.
  • Tip: Keep study material, handouts, sheets, and other publications from your teacher for future reference.

How to score points with formulas of statistics (without learning them all)?

  • The direct relationship between data and results consists of mathematical formulas. These follow their own logic, are written in their own language, and can therefore be complex to comprehend.
  • If you don't understand the math behind statistics, you don't understand statistics. This does not have to be a problem, because statistics is an applied science from which you can also get excellent results without understanding. None of your teachers will understand all the statistical formulas.
  • Please note: you will probably have to know and understand a number of formulas, so that you can demonstrate that you know the principle of how statistics work. Which formulas you need to know differs from subject to subject and lecturer to lecturer, but in general these are relatively simple formulas that occur frequently, and your lecturer will likely tell you (often several times) that you should know this formula.
  • Tip: if you want to recognize statistical symbols, you can use: Recognizing commonly used statistical symbols
  • Tip: have fun with LaTeX! LaTeX code gives us a simple way to write out mathematical formulas and make them look professional. Play with LaTeX. With that, you can include used formulas in your own papers and you learn to understand how a formula is built up – which greatly benefits your understanding and remembering that formula. See also (in Dutch): How to create formulas like a pro on JoHo WorldSupporter?
  • Tip: Are you interested in a career in sciences or programming? Then take your formulas seriously and go through them again after your course.

How to practice your statistics (with minimal effort)?

How to select your data?

  • Your teacher will regularly use a dataset for lessons during the first years of your studying. It is instructive (and can be a lot of fun) to set up your own research for once with real data that is also used by other researchers.
  • Tip: scientific articles often indicate which datasets have been used for the research. There is a good chance that those datasets are valid. Sometimes there are also studies that determine which datasets are more valid for the topic you want to study than others. Make use of datasets other researchers point out.
  • Tip: Do you want an interesting research result? You can use the same method and question, but use an alternative dataset, and/or alternative variables, and/or alternative location, and/or alternative time span. This allows you to validate or falsify the results of earlier research.
  • Tip: for datasets you can look at Discovering datasets for statistical research

How to operationalize clearly and smartly?

  • For the operationalization, it is usually sufficient to indicate the following three things:
    • What is the concept you want to study?
    • Which variable does that concept represent?
    • Which indicators do you select for those variables?
  • It is smart to argue that a variable is valid, or why you choose that indicator.
  • For example, if you want to know whether someone is currently a father or mother (concept), you can search the variables for how many children the respondent has (variable) and then select on the indicators greater than 0, or is not 0 (indicators). Where possible, use the terms 'concept', 'variable', 'indicator' and 'valid' in your communication. For example, as follows: “The variable [variable name] is a valid measure of the concept [concept name] (if applicable: source). The value [description of the value] is an indicator of [what you want to measure].” (ie.: The variable "Number of children" is a valid measure of the concept of parenthood. A value greater than 0 is an indicator of whether someone is currently a father or mother.)

How to run analyses and draw your conclusions?

  • The choice of your analyses depends, among other things, on what your research goal is, which methods are often used in the existing literature, and practical issues and limitations.
  • The more you learn, the more independently you can choose research methods that suit your research goal. In the beginning, follow the lecturer – at the end of your studies you will have a toolbox with which you can vary in your research yourself.
  • Try to link up as much as possible with research methods that are used in the existing literature, because otherwise you could be comparing apples with oranges. Deviating can sometimes lead to interesting results, but discuss this with your teacher first.
  • For as long as you need, keep a step-by-step plan at hand on how you can best run your analysis and achieve results. For every analysis you run, there is a step-by-step explanation of how to perform it; if you do not find it in your study literature, it can often be found quickly on the internet.
  • Tip: Practice a lot with statistics, so that you can show results quickly. You cannot learn statistics by just reading about it.
  • Tip: The measurement level of the variables you use (ratio, interval, ordinal, nominal) largely determines the research method you can use. Show your audience that you recognize this.
  • Tip: conclusions from statistical analyses will never be certain, but at the most likely. There is usually a standard formulation for each research method with which you can express the conclusions from that analysis and at the same time indicate that it is not certain. Use that standard wording when communicating about results from your analysis.
  • Tip: see explanation for various analyses: Introduction to statistics

How to Write an Academic Article - A Guide for Advanced Academics

Academic article

Do you need to write an academic paper? Do you have a lot to tell the world but are you not sure on how to go about doing so structured and well organized? This hero shows how you could structure your text. Enjoy!

40 paragraphs

The article will consist of roughly 40 paragraphs. Five of them will provide the introductory and concluding remarks. Five of them will establish a general, human background. Five of them will state the theory that informs the analysis. Five of them will state the method by which the data was gathered. The analysis (or 'results' section) will make roughly three overarching claims (that support the main thesis) in three five-paragraph sections. The implications of the research will be outlined in five paragraphs. These are ball-park figures, not hard and fast rules, but 'knowing' something for academic purposes means being able to articulate yourself in roughly these proportions.

  1. The First Three Paragraphs

It is difficult to overstate the importance of a good introduction. If your reader does not have a good sense of your argument by the end of the third paragraph (before reading the 600th word), there is something seriously wrong with your paper. Or, perhaps more tellingly, if you are unable to outline your argument straightforwardly and clearly in three paragraphs, you will be unable to write a good paper. When I talk about what a scholarly article is, I always use the opportunity to sketch 'the ideal introduction'. It consists of exactly three paragraphs and no more than six-hundred words.

The first paragraph tells us about the world we are living in. This should obviously be the world that your paper helps us to better understand. It's the world that needs to be understood in precisely the way you understand it. But in this paragraph we (your readers) don't want this understanding, we just want a recognizable description of the world we share with you. Talk to us like we only need to be reminded that this is where we live. It should be familiar to us and based on widely available sources. While you should avoid the letter of a statement like 'We live in a world of ...' or 'Ours is an age of ...', this is very much the spirit of the first paragraph. It's a time for commonplaces; it provides a shared place for you and your readers. In an important sense, you are here describing the practices that

What general skills does a social worker need? - Chapter 6

What general skills does a social worker need? - Chapter 6

The listening skills can be divided into non-selective (actually impossible not to perform) and selective. The 'non'-selective skills include non-verbal behavior, careful following of the conversation and the use of moments of silence. Selective listening means asking questions, reproducing the information given in one's own words, stimulating precise answers and summarizing. Regulatory skills relate to opening of the conversation, formulation of goals, making agreements about goals, clarifying situation and concluding the conversation. These skills coincide with the phases of problem clarification, problem nuance and problem handling.

How does the social worker start?

First of all, the counselor must make clear what the usual course of events is, so that the client knows what to expect. The counselor must explain what his way of working is. The caregiver cannot do this if the client is completely confused. However, if the client is not particularly confused, the counselor can explain how he works and can make some suggestions. If the client agrees with these proposals, then both can start using them. If the client does not agree with the proposals, a different way of working must be implemented. Because of the structure that the counselor introduces in the beginning, the client will also get more clarity. Some practical issues will also have to be discussed in the beginning; such as the costs and duration of the calls. If both parties know what they can expect, an initial contract can be made.

Which 'non'-selective listening skills are important?

Being able to listen to someone properly is a profession in itself. One must show interest without interrupting too much. One has to listen carefully, but not lose sight of the role of caregiver. The caregiver must also keep his attention focused on his profession. In addition to listening, non-verbal behavior is another important aspect. This behavior has a lot of influence on communication between people. The facial expression is one of the most important forms of non-verbal behavior. For example, a smile can express interest and a sense of consent while a frown will express antipathy and disapproval. Different facial expressions have different meanings at different times. The rescuer can choose to manipulate his facial expression. He must be careful that he does not do this too much. As a result, he may lose his attention and the client may think that he is not being taken seriously. Eye contact also plays a very important role. Lack of eye contact by the health care professional could indicate that they are not involved. Excessive eye contact could lead to a feeling of discomfort. Finally, the body language plays a significant role. A relaxed body posture is the best posture. Gestures that encourage the client such as encouraging nods are also desirable.

A verbal way to pay attention is to follow what the client has to say. The counselor does not try to steer the client, but tries to stick to the client's storyline. In addition, the counselor tries to encourage the client, among other things by giving short verbal

Summary with Human Resource Management: Functions, Applications, and Skill Development - Lussier & Hendon - 3rd edition

What does the New Human Resource Management Process entail? - Chapter 1

Why study human resource management (HRM)?

"The better you can work with people, the more successful you will be in your personal and professional lives - whether as an employee, a (line) manager, or a human resource manager." The role of modern managers also continues to change, requiring today's organizational leaders to deal with increasingly dynamic and complex environments. When it comes to managing organizations, a three-step approach applies:

  • To learn the important functions and concepts of HRM.
  • To develop your capability to apply HRM functions and concepts by using critical thinking.
  • To develop your HRM skills in your personal as well as professional lives.

The main reason in today's business for human resource managers to change their way of working, is the fact that there is much greater competition and an external environment that requires a greater range of change. Therefore, the qualities to be adaptable and productive are considered an absolute requirement. In the 21st century organization, the people within an organization are the most important asset, because they create the competition through competetive performance.

Employee engagement is a combination of job satisfaction, ability, and a willingness to perform for the organization at a high level and over an extended period of time. According to HR Magazine, companies that fall into the top 10% on employee engagement, beat their competition by 72% in earnings per share during 2007-08. Engaged employees are considered those who understand and are willing to do whatever it takes to make the organization succeed.

Glossary of Academic Skills for the Social and Psychological Sciences

Glossary of Academic Skills for the Social and Psychological Sciences

Chapter 1: Literature

 

Literature review A detailed overview of the significant literature available about your chosen topic, providing a discussion and critical evaluation, and using clear argument to contextualise and justify your research. (p. 4)

Peer review The process of evaluating an article by experts to ensure the article meets quality criteria before being accepted for publication. (p. 9)

Textbooks Written specifically for audiences such as students or professionals. Material usually presented in an ordered and relatively accessible form. Often draw on a wide range of sources including peer-reviewed academic journal articles. Useful, particularly as an introductory source to get an overview of your research topic and find out who are the recognised experts. (p. 10)

Peer-reviewed academic journal articles Provide detailed reports of research. Articles written by experts in the field and evaluated by other academics (peer reviewers) to assess quality and suitability. Pay rigorous attention to detail and verification of information. Usually contains extensive list of references. Before publication, have usually been revise in response to comments. This is the most useful type for your literature review. Not all academic journal articles are peer-reviewed. (p. 10)

Non-refereed academic journal articles Articles may provide detailed reports of research. Articles selected by an editor or editorial board with subject knowledge. Relevance and usefulness varies considerably. Beware of possible bias. (p. 10)

Professional and trade journal articles Articles written for members of professional or trade organisations, so related to their needs. Consist of a mix of news items and more detailed accounts of a practical nature. Articles rarely based on research, although some provide summaries of research. Can provide useful insights into practice, although may be biased. Need to be used with considerable caution. (p. 10)

Newspaper articles Articles written for members of public, most newspapers addressing a particular market segment. News presented is filtered dependent on events, priority being given to headline-grabbing stories that are likely to appeal to the readers. Good source of topical events and developments. May contain bias in reporting and coverage. (p. 10)

Conference proceedings Articles consist of selected papers presented at a conference, often published as a book or special edition of a journal. Usually peer-reviewed. Increasingly available online. Sometimes difficult to find. Very useful if the theme of the conference matches your research. (p. 10)

Reports Reports on specific topics written by academics and various organisations, including market research organisations and government departments. Beware of possible bias. May not have gone through same review process as peer-reviewed academic journal articles, but those from established organisations are often of high quality. Often difficult to access or expensive to purchase. Can be a useful source of information when

Leadership competencies for implementing planned organizational change - Battilana, Gilmartin, Sengul, Pache & Alexander - 2010 - Artikel

Leadership competencies for implementing planned organizational change - Battilana, Gilmartin, Sengul, Pache & Alexander - 2010 - Artikel

De meeste leiderschapsstudies houden zich niet bezig met de complexiteit van intra-organisatorische processen, waaronder veranderingsimplementatie processen, die verschillende activiteiten met zich mee brengen. In deze studie wordt er beweerd dat het waarschijnlijk is dat managers verschillende activiteiten benadrukken in de geplande organisatieverandering implementatie, afhankelijk van de mix van hun leiderschapscompetenties.

Effectief leiderschap en de bekrachtiging van geplande organisatieverandering

In deze studie wordt het taak-georiënteerde en persoons-georiënteerde model gebruikt. Taak-georiënteerde vaardigheden zijn gerelateerd aan organisatie structuur, ontwerp en controle en het vaststellen van routines om organisatiedoelen en doelstellingen te halen. Persoons-georiënteerde vaardigheden omvat gedrag dat collaboratieve interactie tussen organisatiewerknemers stimuleert, een ondersteunend sociaal klimaat vaststelt en managementpraktijken stimuleert die gelijke behandeling van werknemers verzekert.

Effectiviteit van de twee verschillende soorten vereist verschillende, maar gerelateerde groepen bekwaamheden. Effectiviteit van taak-georiënteerd gedrag staat of valt met het vermogen om taakeisen duidelijk te maken en taken te structureren rondom de missie en doelen van de organisatie. Effectiviteit van persoons-georiënteerd gedrag berust op het vermogen om rekening te houden met anderen als ook het rekening houden met je eigen emoties en die van anderen. Afhankelijk van de mix van deze leiderschapscompetenties wordt er een verschillende nadruk gelegd op de activiteiten die nodig zijn bij het implementeren van organisatieverandering.

Deze activiteiten bestaan uit communiceren, mobiliseren en evalueren. Communiceren: activiteiten die leiders uitvoeren om de noodzaak van verandering uit te leggen en hun visie te delen met de werknemers. Mobiliseren: acties die leiders uitvoeren om support van collega’s te krijgen en de inwerkingtreding van nieuwe werkroutines te aanvaarden. Evalueren: maatstaven die leiders gebruiken om de impact van de implementatie te volgen en vast te stellen en veranderingen te institutionaliseren.

Communiceren van de noodzaak van organisatieverandering

Leiders die veranderingen doorvoeren moeten de noodzaak van deze verandering communiceren met hun werknemers. De werknemers moeten begrijpen waarom gedrag en routines moeten worden veranderd.

Hypothese 1a: leiders die meer persoons-georiënteerd zijn, zijn beter in het communiceren van de noodzaak van verandering dan andere leiders.

Hypothese 1b: leiders die meer taak-georiënteerd zijn, zijn minder goed in het communiceren van de noodzaak van verandering dan andere leiders.

Mobiliseren van anderen om verandering te accepteren

Tijdens implementatie moeten leiders hun werknemers mobiliseren om de veranderingen te accepteren en toe te passen in hun dagelijkse routines. Mobiliseren is moeilijk doordat er verschillende persoonlijke en beroepsdoelen zijn, en dus verschillende opvattingen over de verandering. Mobiliseren brengt zowel taak als persoons-georiënteerde vaardigheden met zich mee.

Hypothese 2a: leiders die meer persoons-georiënteerd zijn, zijn beter in staat werknemers te mobiliseren dan andere leiders.

Hypothese 2b: leiders die meer taak-georiënteerd zijn, zijn beter in staat werknemers te mobiliseren dan andere leiders.

Evalueren van de implementatie van de verandering

Leiders moeten evalueren in hoeverre organisatieleden routines, werkwijzen en gedrag uitvoeren dat

How do stress, coping, adaptation and health affect personality? - Chapter 18 - Exclusive

How do stress, coping, adaptation and health affect personality? - Chapter 18 - Exclusive

Health psychology focuses on the influence of psychological and behavioral factors on health, often in combination with the environment. Stress is central to this.

What models of personality are there?

What is the interactional model?

The interactional model suggests that personality factors determine the impact of events, because they determine how someone deals with the situation. Personality would thus influence coping. How someone deals with an event determines the degree of stress caused by that event. However, a limitation of this model is that stable coping strategies have never been found.

What is the transactional model?

The transactional model does things differently. According to this model, personality has three potential effects:

  1. Personality can influence coping.
  2. Personality can affect how the person interprets an event.
  3. Personality can influence the event itself.

It is not the event that causes stress here, but rather how it is dealt with. This model is called transactional because of the person's influence on the event and the person's appreciation. There is mutual influence.

What is the health and behavior model?

A third model is the health and behavior model. This assumes that personality does not directly influence the degree of stress or illness, but that it indirectly influences stress or illness through certain behaviors, such as unsafe sex or overeating. The less healthy someone is, the greater the chance of experiencing more stress.

What is the disease and behavior model?

Another model is the disease and behavior model. In this model, disease is explained as the presence of an objectively measurable abnormal physiological process, such as fever, high blood pressure, or a tumor. Abnormal or sick behavior is about the way people behave when they think they are sick. Personality determines the degree of sick behavior, whether or not in combination with a real illness.

According to the predispositional model, associations exist between personality and illness because of a third variable that affects both, namely predisposition. The predisposition can exist for stable individual personality differences and for specific illnesses.

What is stress?

Stress is a subjective feeling that is the result of uncontrollable and threatening events (stressors). These are often extreme situations with unpleasant consequences that cannot be influenced. Stress can be divided into low sources of stress in daily life (daily hassles) and important life events (major life events). Major life events are associated with intensity, conflict and uncontrollability. Positive things can also be very stressful, for example a marriage, a move or a promotion. People with a lot of stress in their lives have many psychological and physiological symptoms. Possible responses to stress may include palpitations, increased blood pressure, sweaty hands and feet, and

Activities abroad: home page

From language courses to gap year abroad, from work experience to volunteering abroad, from paid work to internship abroad, from mountaineering to diving and from backpacking to travel around the world

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
