Spiritual Self/Mental Self

  • Intelligence is the ability to handle new and complex situations effectively.
  • It involves analyzing, evaluating, assessing, judging, understanding people, objects, and symbols.
  • Alfred Binet, a French psychologist, considered intelligence a combination of mental capacities.
  • This includes the ability to perform cognitive tasks, understand definitions of words, and follow instructions.

Nature and Nurture in Development of Intelligence

  • Nature refers to genetic and hereditary factors, including physical appearance and personality traits.
  • Nurture encompasses environmental variables like childhood experiences and how one is raised.
  • Interactionism suggests that heredity and environment interact.

Theories of Intelligence

  • Howard Gardner proposed multiple intelligences, including spiritual intelligence, which involves:
  • Verbal linguistic (language proficiency)
  • Logical-mathematical (proficiency in math)
  • Musical (producing and appreciating rhythm, pitch, timber)
  • Interpersonal (understanding people).
  • Robert Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence includes analytical, creative, and practical intelligence.
  • Raymond Cattell distinguished between fluid (abstract reasoning independent of prior learning) and crystallized intelligences (knowledge gained through prior learning.)

Learning and Better Student

  • Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior.
  • Factors affecting learning include usage, relevance, experiences, and behavioral consequence.
  • Edward Thorndike's laws of learning include readiness, exercise, and effect (repetition, approval).
  • Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning and Burrhus Frederick Skinner's operant conditioning (rewards and punishments) are crucial behavioral learning principles.
  • Albert Bandura's modeling and imitation emphasize the importance of observation in learning.

Motivation and Setting Goals for Success

  • Motivation theories include drive-reduction, incentive, instinct, cognitive, arousal, and humanistic approaches.
  • Drive-reduction involves internal pushes that lead a person to do things.
  • Instinct theory explains motivations like responses that come naturally.
  • Cognitive theory explains how expectations and values influence goals while arousal theory emphasizes human's needs for optimal arousal level.
  • Humanistic theories focus on meeting one's needs and physiological needs. (Maslow's hierarchy of needs)

Healthcare and Stress Management

  • Stress is how the body deals with demands.
  • Lazarus defines stress as situations that are threatening and exceed resources.
  • Stress can be eustress (positive) or distress (negative).
  • Major stressors are major life changes, while minor stressors are everyday occurrences.
  • Stressors can cause burnout and exhaustion.
  • Types of needs include those for achievement, affiliation, and power.
  • Self-fulfilling prophecy explains how self-definitions can affect behavior.

Coping with Stress

  • Coping mechanisms involve problem-focused coping (changing the problem) and emotion-focused coping (managing the reaction).
  • Mental hygiene methods improve mental well-being which include physical, mental, emotional, and social rest.
  • Sensory rest helps to unplug and reduce external stimuli.
  • Spiritual rest fosters deep connection and belonging.
