UNIT 2 CHAPTER 5
    Attitudes and Emotions




1
Interpreting Events and Experiences




    Your experience is what happens to you and
    what happens in the world around you.
2
How you interpret that experience has an
    enormous influence on your daily life and
    your future as a leader.

   President                      Civil-rights Activist
Abraham Lincoln                       Rosa Parks

    These people made crucial decisions based
    on what they believed they were capable of
    doing. Their early life experiences helped
    them realize their potential.

Potential

    What an individual is capable of

    They became the result of their potential.
    As one old saying puts it, “As the twig is
    bent, so grows the tree.”

12
Growing up isn’t just about getting older.
     You may think it is because for some
     things, such as getting a driver’s license,
13
     age alone is an important requirement.
The reality of growing up and reaching
     maturity is much more…




      It means learning what’s required to
      develop a positive attitude and then
      putting that attitude to use to meet life’s
      challenges.
14
Maturity

     The state of being fully grown or
     developed




15
Reaching maturity is the process of bringing
your personality and experience to bear on
your life in a positive, constructive way.




16
Personality

     What an individual is inside and
     what he or she shows to others;
     it includes actions, opinions,
     beliefs, biases, desires, and
     ambitions.


17
Attaining maturity
     means becoming
     more aware of
     your:
                                      • Goals




        • Abilities
                          • Place   in the World
18
Maturity also means

     your attitudes and
     behaviors influence
     others.



19
Growing up involves developing a
 _______ and then using it to meet
 life’s challenges.

21
Attitude and
     your personality
     are two different
     things.
     Experience shapes
     your personality,
     which is the
     foundation of your
     attitudes and
     behaviors.

22
Attitude is a state of mind!




     An attitude, however, is rooted in
     your thoughts, feelings, or beliefs
     and greatly affects how you view
     and treat a particular situation.
23
A behavior is an action that others can see
     you doing based both on your personality
     and your attitude at the given time.
24
You will become more aware of how your
     attitudes and behaviors make you who you
     are and who you are becoming because of
     your experience.
25
Some people humorously define experience
   as “that thing you get just after you need
   it.” This observation is, ironically, not too
26
   far from the truth.
Your experiences act
as a rudder as you
navigate the course
of your life,


                       and just as a skier
                       usually does better
                       the second time down
                       a course, you’ll learn
                       to make better
                       decisions as you
                       mature.
27
As you mature, you
                          become better able
                          to interpret events
                          and use your ever
                          growing number of
                          experiences to
                          make better
                          decisions about:
 • Where you want to go
 • What you want to do
 • Who you want to be.
28
True or False: Attitude and personality
 are the same thing.

True or False: Attitude and personality

30
The Importance of a Positive Outlook
                   on Life




      “Always look on the bright side of life.”
      “Let a smile be your umbrella.”
      “When life gives you lemons, make
       lemonade!”
31
These everyday phrases emphasize the
     importance of having a positive outlook on
     life .




     You no doubt heard people say, “Colin has
     such an attitude,” or “Cassandra is copping
     a real “tude.”
32
Those observations reflect negatively on
     Colin and Cassandra. Why?




 How would their ongoing bad attitudes affect
 your friendship with Colin or Cassandra? ”
33
Your Attitude is a Compass




 Remember, your attitude is rooted in your
 thoughts, feelings, and beliefs and is your
 “slant” or “angle” on life.
34
This “slant” determines your outlook and
     approach to life and like a compass—you
     go in the direction the needle points.
35
Your attitude is largely under your control.
     Attitude is not something you are born with.


36
Some experts say that
                      you can “program”
                      your attitude as you do
                      a computer, by
                      repeatedly thinking and
                      saying positive things
                      about yourself and
                      others.

     You can change your attitude and mood
     simply by changing how you think and
     talk.
37
Your attitude follows your behavior. If
     you do positive things, you’ll slowly
     develop a more positive attitude.
38
A person’s _______ is his/her “slant”
 or “angle” on life.

 A. attitude
 B. personality
 C. behavior
 D. experience

I’m Ok, You’re Ok.
            In 1969 psychologist
            Thomas Anthony Harris
            wrote a book called I'm
            OK, You're OK. His
            idea was that “you are
            what you think” was
            and still is very simple,
            yet it reflects what
            millions of people have
            experienced
            throughout their lives.

   yourself, approving of others

According to Harris…



                     Most people hold
                     Attitude #1:
                     "I'm not OK, you're OK."


     These people might lack self-esteem or
     self-confidence. They feel inferior to other
50
     people.
According to Harris…

                           Someone with
                           Attitude #2,
                           “I’m not OK,
                           you’re not OK”


     would not tend to “look on the bright
     side.” Such a person would need to do
     a lot of work to be happy.
51
According to Harris…



                     People with Attitude #3,
                      "I'm OK, you're not OK.”



     might have suffered from abuse or trauma
     as children, and the effects of that abuse
     still influence their relationships with other
52
     people.
According to Harris…



                         Attitude #4,
                         “I’m OK, you’re
                         OK.”



     is the attitude of a healthy,
     well-adjusted individual.

58
The Value of a Positive Attitude




     Why is a positive attitude important?
     One good reason is that it increases the
59
     chances that others will like you.
People enjoy spending time with individuals
 who express positive attitudes. They tend to
 avoid individuals with an ongoing negative
 attitude.
60
Psychologists use the term toxic personalities
 to refer to people who never have a nice thing
 to say about anyone or anything.
61
Ups and downs are a normal part of life. So if
 your friend Aaron is in a “down” mood from
 time to time, you try to cheer him up, and he
 does the same for you.
62
Negative Attitude!




     A toxic—or poisonous—attitude can rub off
     on others without their even being aware of
     it.
63
Pick your friends wisely!




  The old saying, “If you lie down with dogs,
  you’ll get up with fleas,” points at an important
  truth: Bad habits, poor behaviors, and negative
64
  attitudes can be contagious.
Which of the following statements is NOT
 true regarding attitudes?

 A. Someone with a toxic personality has
    occasional negative moods.
 B. Spending time with negative people can
    affect your own attitude for the worse.
 C. People tend to avoid people with
    negative attitudes.
 D. Having a positive attitude makes it more
    likely that people will want to be around
    you.

67
Positive
         Attitude!

     positive vibes” is
     essential to gaining
     respect and
     encouraging others
     to follow them.

70
How Perspective Molds Your
          Understanding Of Life




     You look at things in your own
     individual way. That’s what makes you
     unique—an individual.
71
You see the world in a way that only you can
 and add a perspective to your community
 that only you can provide.
72
Perspective

     An individual’s way of seeing the
     world




73
Diversity of views is one of the things that
 make human beings so interesting. The ability
 to share and compare the vast range of
 experiences is what has furthered mankind
 more than any other species on Earth and is
 the basis for all of modern society.
74
Your perspective is your “take” on
     the world—your worldview.
75
Your perspective includes your insight into
     people, things, and events, driving the way
     you interpret your life experiences.
76
Your perspective helps form your attitudes
     and personality, guiding your behavior and
     further defining who you are as an
     individual.
77
What term is used to refer to each
 individual’s unique view of the world?

 A. Attitude
 B. Personality
 C. Opinion
 D. Perspective




78
What term is used to refer to each
 individual’s unique view of the world?

 A. Attitude
 B. Personality
 C. Opinion
 D. Perspective




79
Both of these perspectives are right in
     their own way, and both are wrong.




     Some of you may be      Others of you may
     saying, “I’m just in    be saying, “I know
     high school, I really   everything I’ll ever
     don’t have enough       need to know and
     experience to have a    I’ve got the right
     truly unique            idea of how things
80   perspective.”           work.”
As a student you are in a lively and
     interesting world of discovery that you
     largely determine for yourself, so you
     really do know how things work for you.
81
But, you still have
     many experiences
     and exciting things to
     look forward to like:
     • Getting your driver’s
       license
     • Getting a part-time
       job
     • Dating
     • Graduating.
82
On the longer-term
     perspective, you may
     look forward to:
     • going to college
     • getting a job
     • marrying
     • raising a family.

83
In thefar distant future, you may be
     looking to retire to a home on the beach
     or a cabin in the woods somewhere.
84
Maturity will broaden your views on the
     world, or another way of saying it is that
     life is like climbing a mountain: the higher
     you get, the farther you can see.
85
As you mature and
     accumulate
     experience, you’ll
     start thinking about
     how you formed your
     unique perspective.



86
Human beings have done this since the
     beginning of history.




        Plato       Aristotle      Socrates
     The ancient Greek philosophers thought
     that the yearning for self-understanding
     was as essential to human life as food
     and water.
87
What did the ancient Greek philosophers
 believe about human beings and perspective?

 A. The happiest people spend the least
    amount of time in philosophical musings.
 B. People have a greater need to understand
    other people than to understand
    themselves.
 C. People are reluctant to consider their
    negative traits and shortcomings.
 D. All people have a longing and a need to
    understand themselves.

 D. All people have a longing and a need to

89
It’s natural for you to want to understand
     why you are thinking and doing certain
     things at your age.
90
In grasping the purpose
     behind your perspective,
     you’ll gradually begin to see
     how a healthy, well-rounded,
     fair-minded perspective can
     guide you in your:
     • Studies
     • Career
     • Friendships
     • Family relationships
     • Future.
91
Right now, your
                       perspective may be
                       based largely on the
                       influence of your:
                       • Peers
                       • Parents
                       • Guardians
                       • Friends
                       • Teachers
 These influences give you a good foundation
 for growth.
92
Your friends and
     family “support
     your worldview,”
     but questioning
     assumptions is also
     important.
     Both are the sign of
     a growing, dynamic
     perspective.

93
How Perspective Molds Your Purposes,
       Passions, And Practices




     Your perspective drives the purposes you
     strive toward; your passions, or the things
     you feel strongly about, and the practices
94   you follow in your life.
This means that your
     perspective will
     significantly affect your
     success:
     • In school
     • At work
     • In friendships
     • In family relationships.

95
True or False: Perspective has a
 significant effect on a person’s
 success in school, at work, and with
 friends and family.

 True




97
By nature,
                                 human
                                 beings are
                                 social
                                 creatures.


     People want to belong to a group or an
     organization. They want to have friends—
     sometimes desperately so.
98
The need to have friends and to belong is
     particularly strong among teenagers, but
     old and young people alike seek group
     acceptance. This natural human
99
     characteristic is called an affiliation need.
Affiliation Need

      A desire to be and feel a part of
      a group




100
When you are young, the desire for
      affiliation can sometimes lead to actions or
      behaviors that run counter to the influence
      of your family and teachers.
101
You put your perspective to the test.




      Sometimes peer pressure to do the wrong,
      unwise, or inappropriate thing is almost
      irresistible. Stick with the values that your
      parents or teachers believe best.
102

Cultivating a Healthy Perspective


                     People’s beliefs and
                     desires help shape
                     their perspectives.
                     A belief is a strong and
                     deeply held idea that
                     forms the basis for
                     much of your thinking.


108
Cultivating A Healthy Perspective


                        A belief can be:
                        • Religious
                        • Social
                        • Political
                        • Personal.

109
A desire is something
      you deeply want and is
      frequently part of your
      emotional and
      psychological
      motivation.




110
A healthy perspective requires keeping an
      open mind. It also involves recognizing
      the short-term and long-term effects of
      mistakes or poor choices.
111
Everyone makes
       mistakes—the trick is to
       learn from them and
       adjust your behavior not
       to repeat them.



      This self-correcting ability
      is your ticket to success,
      and it’s part of a healthy
      perspective.

112
Want to avoid mistakes as much as
      possible? Pay attention to the signs
      along the road.
113
Beliefs are strong and deeply held
  _______ that shape your thinking.

  A. desires
  B. values
  C. emotions
  D. ideas

You may have been encouraged to participate
  in:
                    • School Clubs




                                      • Religious
                                       Organizations

 • Sport Teams

      As you’ve matured, your affiliation need may
      have led you to experiment with involvement
      in various kinds of groups.
116
When it comes to affiliations, focus on the
      big picture, not the immediate situation.
      Some affiliations are dead-end streets.
117
Affiliations like:
      • internet chat rooms
      • cliques
      • gangs
      • secret clubs
      are not a good
      breeding ground for
      developing a mature,
      positive perspective.

118
Similarly,
      focusing all your
      attention on:
      • violent movies
      • music
      • video games
      can’t be good for
      your developing
      worldview.

119
In the 1985 movie Witness, one character
      says, “What you take into your hands, you
      take into your heart.”

                            This points to a
                            direct relationship
                            between your
                            experience—what
                            you see, hear,
                            touch, taste, say,
                            and do—and your
                            ever-widening
                            perspective on life.
120
Everyone has heroes in their life!

      Parent                           Coach

      Your heroes set goals, got excited about
      them, and then worked to achieve them.
               You can do that, too!
121
Which of these is NOT a poor choice
  for an affiliation or pastime that will
  help you develop a mature, positive
  perspective?

  A. Internet chat rooms and adult
     websites
  B. Violent movies, music, and video
     games
  C. School club, sports team, and
     religious youth organization
  D. Gangs, cliques, and secret clubs

How Your Actions Reveal Your Attitudes



                        You’ve
                        probably heard
                        the expression,
                        “Do as I say,
                        not as I do.”


124
This points out the close—and at times
  contradictory—relationship between
  your attitudes:
                        • perspectives,
                       • purposes
                       • beliefs
                       and your actions:
                       • practices
                       • behaviors.
125
If you’re like most people, you want your
  actions to be in harmony with your attitudes.
  “Walk the walk, talk the talk,” right?
126
You’d seem hypocritical or two-faced if you
      expressed one attitude or belief and then
      did something that was completely
      contrary.
127
Another familiar saying, “Actions speak
  louder than words.” Ultimately, what you do
  is what counts, not what you say.
128
Your actions set your goals in motion and
      help you achieve what you want to
      achieve.
129
The desire to achieve shows itself in:
Making           Getting               Being Part
Friends           Good                 of A Family
                 Grades




  Making a                 Making        Winning
   Team                     Band         Awards
    All these things may be part of how you define
    success. You direct your actions to achieving
130
    these goals.
The expression “Do as I say, not as I
  do” demonstrates what conflict?

  A. Between parents and children
  B. Between attitudes and actions
  C. Between right and wrong
  D. Between maturity and immaturity

You can’t separate actions from attitudes.
      Your actions, for better or worse, reveal
      your attitudes.
135
Showing up late
      for:
      • school
      • practice
      • work
      sends a message
      about your
      attitude.
136
Dressing sloppy is not
      the way to express your
      individuality, and it
      probably won’t score any
      points with your family,
      teachers, coaches, or
      employer.


137
See if you can tell what each of the
  following actions might say about the
  person’s attitude:
  • Chewing and snapping gum during a
    lecture
  • Conversing above a whisper during a
    movie
  • Failing to use “Mr.,” “Mrs.,” “Ms.,” “Sir,”
    or “Ma’am” in talking with adults
  • Not using a turn signal when driving

138
• Never saying “Please” and “Thank you” in
   normal conversation
 • Avoiding eye contact with others
 • Putting your feet up on furniture
 • Losing something that you’ve borrowed
   from a friend
 • Ignoring personal hygiene with hair, teeth,
   bathing, and clothing

Actions cannot be separated from
  _______.

  A. desires

“You miss 100 percent of the

WINNING BREEDS

      An achievement-focused
      attitude can become a
      way of life and a positive,
      contagious habit.
      The more you achieve,
      the more you’re likely to
      achieve.


143
Winning and success motivate those who
      value winning to push themselves even
      harder.
144
Successful leaders develop a winning
      attitude not a “What’s the use?” attitude.
145
The question is, which sort of player
      are you?
                          Are you willing to
                          simply throw your
                          fate to the wind and
                          hope things work
                          out?
                          Or are you going to
                          take charge of your
                          life and make it what
                          you want it to
                          become?
146
Positive and Negative Attitudes




      The attitudes and behaviors of a healthy,
      reasonable person are usually in harmony.
147
Positive thinkers make things happen!
Baseball executive Branch Ricky
once noted:

                 “Luck is the residue of
                 design.”

                 He meant that if you plan
                 things right and have the
                 right attitude, you’ll attract
                 that mysterious power
                 people call “luck.”

148
“I’m a great believer in
                    luck, and I find the
                    harder I work, the more
                    I have of it.”


                    What do you think the
                    message is in his
 Thomas Jefferson   statement?
 once said,
149
The message is that a
                    positive attitude and a
                    dedication to seeing
                    your goals realized
                    generally results in a
                    positive outcome.

Do you want to

 things like:




                       That kind of
                       thinking is not
                       only depressing:

Defense Mechanisms




      The first trick to developing a positive
      attitude is to accept that you won’t always
      succeed at everything you do.
158
The second trick is to realize that trial

In the business world, professionals set
      goals for themselves.

                          Salespeople are often
                          rewarded when they
                          reach their sales
                          targets, but failing to
                          meet a goal—in
                          business or anywhere
                          else—doesn’t mean
                          that you are a failure.

162
If a baseball
                      player doesn’t
                      make every hit,




      or a lawyer
      loses a case,


       we don’t label                   or a doctor

  constantly improving their art.

 Of course, some professions have a zero
 tolerance for failure—and it’s a good thing
 they do. You don’t want them to make any big

 contract.

      Keep in mind everyone is entitled to follow

      given task.
166
What is a learning curve?

  A. Chart that managers use to plot

Why do some people
      handle their mistakes
      well, and even learn
      from them, while others
      don’t?


      The difference often lies
      in a person’s defense
      mechanisms.

169
Defense mechanisms

      Behaviors people use to deal
      with anxiety, stress, or pressure




170
Everyone has anxieties, and defense
      mechanisms provide a way to deal with
      them, but if you’re not careful, defense
      mechanisms can turn into excuses.
171
USS San Francisco
     SSN-711

 People use defense mechanisms without
 realizing it to try and convince others and
 themselves that someone else is to blame for
 a mistake, or that a controllable situation was
 entirely outside of their ability to handle.
172
Defense
      mechanisms are
      ways of protecting
      your self-
      confidence and
      pride when you
      are feeling
      inadequate or
      ashamed.


173
You probably don’t respect the athlete, or
  singer who constantly makes excuses for
  his or her shortfalls.
174
The use of defense mechanisms is not a
      bad thing as long as you take the steps to
      correct the problem.
175
The danger of
      defense
      mechanisms is
      failing to take
      responsibility for
      your actions or
      inactions.



176
This is the hallmark
      of an immature
      personality and of
      someone who still
      has some growing
      up to do, no matter
      what his or her age.



177
What are people trying to protect
  when they use defense mechanisms?

  A. Their pride and self-confidence
  B. Their inabilities and inadequacies
  C. The feelings of their families,
     friends, and co-workers
  D. The identity of the other people
     responsible for the situation or
     mistake

What is the danger of constantly using
  defense mechanisms?

  A. People find themselves being given
     more and more responsibility.
  B. People begin to see themselves as
     too perfect and incapable of error.
  C. People keep those around them from
     seeing the situation clearly enough
     to help improve it.
  D. People fail to take responsibility for
180
     their actions and remain immature.

Psychologists have
      identified and studied
      a number of defense
      mechanisms people
      use when they feel:
      • Anxiety
      • Stress
      • Pressure.

182
How Defense Mechanisms Affect
              Relationships




                    Consider the
                    situation between
                    Jack and Christine.




183
Jack and Christine have been dating
      steadily for about a year, but they have
      a problem: Jack gets jealous any time
184
      Christine even talks to another boy.
He suspects she’s not really happy in
      their relationship and watches her every
      move. Christine keeps telling Jack that
      he’s imagining things.
185
If he’s not careful, Jack might find himself
    using one or more of the following defense
    mechanisms instead of addressing his real
186
    problem.
• Displacement—transferring a feeling
        about a person or an object to another,
        less threatening object




      Example: Jack feels jealous anger toward
      Christine, so he is rude to her little sister.
187
• Repression—pushing disturbing thoughts,
   wishes, or experiences from one’s conscious
   awareness while the feeling continues to
   operate on an unconscious level




  Example: Jack tells Christine that everything
  is OK and that he doesn’t want to talk about
  his feelings, but he still seems angry with her.
188
• Rationalization—concealing the true
   motivations for one’s thoughts, actions, or
   feelings by offering reassuring, but incorrect,
   explanations




      Example: Jack assures Christine that the
      problem isn’t with her; he’s just going
      through a tough time at his after-school job
189
      and feels frustrated about it.
• Projection—falsely attributing to others
        your own unacceptable feelings, impulses,
        or thoughts




      Example: Jack tells everyone that Christine
      is upset with him because he spends time
      shooting pool with friends.
190
• Acting out—using actions, rather than
        words, to express the emotional
        conflict

       draw graffiti all over Christine’s car.
191

  girlfriend, Wanda, because he was jealous of

      handle life’s troubles.

                         than the problem
                         itself—so always
                         think positively.”
