A Few Bad Apples: Reflection journal directionsAaron Maurer
The document provides guidance on writing a reflective journal entry about social experiments, interviews, and person-on-the-street reflections conducted regarding adult bias towards teenagers. It explains that reflective journals allow deeper learning and understanding by exploring experiences. The journal entry should include: 1) objective data describing what happened during the activities, 2) reflective data about feelings and reactions, 3) interpretive data explaining what was observed and the results, and 4) decisional data about lessons learned and conclusions drawn. The purpose is to reflect on and make sense of the experiences regarding adult bias towards teens.

During the lockdown we discovered that people were sleeping most of the time, eating junk foods, watching Netflix, playing indoor games, and not working out. As a result, people's memory power began to fall. Another factor that contributed for us to undertake the above-mentioned research was to help and suggest people some remedies as to how can they increase their memory retention.

After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. The importance of random sampling.
2. The meaning of statistical significance.
3. The basic approach to determining statistical significance.
4. The meaning of the null and alternate hypothesis statements.
5. The hypothesis testing process.
6. The purpose of the F-test and the T-test.
Overview
Last week we collected clues and evidence to help us answer our case question about
males and females getting equal pay for equal work. As we looked at the clues presented by the
salary and comp-ratio measures of pay, things got a bit confusing with results that did not see to
be consistent. We found, among other things, that the male and female compa-ratios were fairly
close together with the female mean being slightly larger. The salary analysis showed a different
view; here we noticed that the averages were apparently quite different with the males, on
average, earning more. Contradictory findings such as this are not all that uncommon when
examining data in the “real world.”
One issue that we could not fully address last week was how meaningful were the
differences? That is, would a different sample have results that might be completely different, or
can we be fairly sure that the observed differences are real and show up in the population as
well? This issue, often referred to as sampling error, deals with the fact that random samples
taken from a population will generally be a bit different than the actual population parameters,
but will be “close” enough to the actual.

This document introduces the concepts of self-experimentation and the Quantified Self movement. It proposes several initial studies to examine the Quantified Self, including comparing individuals in the Quantified Self community to others on traits like personal growth initiative, curiosity, happiness, and self-regulation. The document also discusses the potential benefits of self-experimentation coming from the process rather than just outcomes. It proposes building self-experimentation capacity through interventions and discusses some considerations for positive psychology research in this area.
Conversations and person centred approaches Jon Ralphs
The document outlines the objectives and context of a two-day training on person-centered approaches and effective conversations. Over the two days, participants will learn about the importance of equality in interactions, what makes good conversations, using person-centered planning tools to support conversations, understanding outcomes and how to identify them, and using a person-centered approach in supporting children and families. The training will cover frameworks for effective conversations, changing service-focused language to be more person-centered, tools like good day/bad day and what's important to/for someone, and how to have outcome-focused conversations.

eHealth Support for People with Depression - Lessons from Case StudiesMaria Wolters
This document summarizes the development and testing of Help4Mood, an eHealth tool to support people with depression. It describes stakeholder consultations and iterative user testing to design Help4Mood's features. Four case studies were conducted with women who used Help4Mood for two weeks. While it promoted self-reflection, daily use was difficult. Participants found value in tracking mood but felt the technology lacked human support during difficult times. The conclusion is that eHealth tools need to be designed for self-reflection, support/coping, and personalization to effectively help people manage depression.
The document discusses several cognitive biases and heuristics that influence social judgments and perceptions. It describes how priming effects can subtly influence thoughts and behaviors without awareness. Belief perseverance is discussed, where people cling to initial beliefs even after evidence disproving them. Overconfidence is common in social judgments and predictions. Confirmation bias leads people to seek information confirming existing beliefs. Mental shortcuts like representativeness and availability heuristics enable efficient thinking. Illusions of correlation and control can also influence social perceptions.
Perception is the process by which we become aware of objects, events, and people around us through our senses. Our perceptions are influenced by physical, environmental, internal, and learned elements. We actively select certain stimuli to focus on based on various factors and then organize this information using cognitive schemas like prototypes, personal constructs, stereotypes, and scripts. Finally, we interpret the meaning of what we perceive by making attributions about its locus, stability, specificity, and our responsibility. However, our perceptions do not necessarily reflect an ultimate reality and are subject to errors and biases.

Using Cognitive Interviews in Nigeria to Pre-test Child, Caregiver, and House...MEASURE Evaluation
1. Cognitive interviews were conducted in Nigeria with caregivers and children to pre-test survey tools developed by MEASURE Evaluation to measure outcomes for orphan and vulnerable children programs.
2. The interviews helped validate translations, refine response categories, better understand recall periods, and assess comprehension of concepts. For example, rural respondents had difficulty with 4-point scales so they were simplified.
3. Both adults and children struggled with some questions, showing the need to adapt questions or probes for the local context. The cognitive interviews provided valuable insights for finalizing the survey tools.

Family-Focused Functional Assessment
The questions asked in the interview with the family that agreed to participate were based on the eleven functional health patterns. The family that participated in the family health assessment program was a single parent structure, a mother with two children. The questions were directed towards the personal life of the respondent; therefore, their names will not be mentioned. It was an African American parent who is single, middle class income. The family is religious, Christians and live in the Chicago neighbourhood. It is a mother who is always there for her daughters and works hard to meet their needs.
The overall health behaviour of the family include eating healthy meals, drink plenty of fluids, and children are given junk once in a while. The children snore and the mother works two jobs and gets time to sleep for only 5hours in a day because she works in the afternoon and evening. The family’s bowel movements are normal and temporary changes are experienced but it’s nothing to worry about. The mother creates time to engage in physical activities, twice a week and the types of exercises she does are morning runs and home work-out just to keep fit. She makes all the decisions that involve her children’s schooling and future plans, and she reported that she doesn’t get confused. She has healthy eyesight. She feels that the future will be great because she has done several investments that will yield positive outcomes.
Children are disciplined using praise positive behaviour because she wants her children to grow into a functional family that does not instil fear and reflect negative behaviour when they become adults. She has started seeing someone recently and has never experienced any sexual dysfunction. The most recent stressful event she experienced is increased pressure from work and creating time to spend with her children. Unfortunately, coping strategies were not well defined. The current health of the family is moderate considering the constraints that the single parent has to undergo to ensure that the children are happy and safe. The family eats a healthy diet that includes vegetables and fruits with less junk food.
Based on the findings of the role relationship, I saw this as strength because the parent disciplines her daughters through praise positive behaviour. Descriptive praise is what she mentioned that works best for her children. Descriptive praise means that a parent takes the initiative to tell their children exactly what they like. Praise helps change a child’ negative behaviour and based on what I observed her children are disciplined, they have confidence and self-esteem, (Campbell-Salome, et.al, 2019). At times, she has to use rewards to encourage her two daughters to perform well in academics and at home. The healthy diet and drinking more fluids habit is another strength t.

Individualized and developmentally appropriate guidance 2blantoncd
This document discusses individualized and developmentally appropriate guidance for children's social and emotional development. It emphasizes understanding each child's unique strengths, weaknesses, temperament, and experiences. When addressing challenging behaviors, we must consider whether the child lacks knowledge, skills, or motivation before intervening. Functional analyses of behaviors can identify triggers and consequences to guide interventions that teach skills rather than punishments. The goal is supporting each child's social-emotional growth through observation, screening, and developmentally appropriate guidance.
The document summarizes research on the impact of nature workshops on child development. [1] It finds that the workshops improved children's self-esteem, confidence, and emotional literacy according to evaluations from parents, teachers, and the children. [2] Using evaluation tools like the Emotional Literacy Checklist showed gains in resilience. [3] The workshops were well-attended and participants enjoyed them and wanted more, indicating nature-based learning supports well-being.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

It describes various challenges students can undertake, such as paying attention to conflict styles, noticing when they use "roadblocks" in communication, turning off their phone to focus on listening, or acknowledging people they don't normally talk to. For each challenge, students are asked to describe their experience, any insights gained, and how it relates to emotional intelligence. They are also instructed to write a paper reflecting on practicing their skills in interpersonal interactions, discussing the impact of using specific skills.

The document provides an overview of the history and major perspectives in psychology, including: structuralism, functionalism, gestalt psychology, behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, physiological, evolutionary, cognitive, cultural/diversity, and environmental perspectives. It also discusses common research methods, ethics in research, subfields of psychology, and pathways to careers in psychology.
Individualized and developmentally appropriate guidance 2blantoncd
This document discusses individualized and developmentally appropriate guidance for children's social and emotional development. It emphasizes understanding each child's unique strengths, weaknesses, temperament, and experiences. When addressing challenging behaviors, we must consider whether the child lacks knowledge, skills, or motivation before intervening. Functional analyses of behaviors can identify triggers and consequences to guide interventions that teach skills rather than punishments. The goal is supporting each child's social-emotional growth through observation, screening, and developmentally appropriate guidance.
The document summarizes research on the impact of nature workshops on child development. [1] It finds that the workshops improved children's self-esteem, confidence, and emotional literacy according to evaluations from parents, teachers, and the children. [2] Using evaluation tools like the Emotional Literacy Checklist showed gains in resilience. [3] The workshops were well-attended and participants enjoyed them and wanted more, indicating nature-based learning supports well-being.
Sarah Flanagan is a social worker who works at Ted E. Bear Hollow, a center for grieving children and teens. The document provides information on developing social programming for grieving individuals. It discusses the benefits of social programming, such as providing social support and connections. Examples of activities are given, and research is presented on the importance of social support for those experiencing grief or loss. Guidelines are offered for developing a teen social program, including determining the target group, activities, safety policies, evaluations, and funding.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. The Study
• We conducted a 3 month research project on how technology might
assist already active retirees to maintain and/or better understand
their activity and sociability levels on a daily basis.
• The results are intended to give deeper insights into how technology
may assist older adults to maintain their independence, feel safe in
their mobility activities (walking about) and keep actively part of their
usual social networks (or even invigorate new connections).
4. What is it?
• From this we plan to conduct a larger study aimed at helping those
who need motivating to be more independent (physically and socially)
so they can stay longer (and safer) in their own homes.
• The group wear trackers that collect their individual steps, km, heart
rate, sleep, calories used, stairs climbed and activities, as well as the
challenges between each other as a small group. They can see each
other’s daily activities.
5. How did it roll?
• We met once a week in a café and the group socially interacts and we
conduct short interviews recording any changes (or not) in
communication and/or activity.
• Participants re-suggested a number of cafes and we found the
quietest most welcoming one that still had accessible electricity and
big tables and was happy to host us each week.
• Of course, we had coffee so we were not so bad for business either.
7. Measures…
• Steps,
• Distance,
• Heart rate
• Floors climbed
• Activity intensity
• Move - Reminds you to stay active with move bar and vibration alert
• Learns your current activity level, then assigns an attainable daily step
goal
• Notifications - receive text, call, email, calendar and social media
alerts
8. The Set Up
• Week 1, we set up the participants with Garmins in two sessions (split
the group.
• Meant we had time to set up with their individual and different
devices—so we paired with old iphones, gave one an ipad, a computer
at home, newer and older Samsung, etc etc –we deliberately wanted
them to use what they ‘usually’ worked with.
• We also gave them USB wall plugs and it took some time (weeks)
before all issues were settled!
22. What we started seeing…
• It had been established (for the researchers anyway) that the steps etc were not the
interesting thing happening here.
• What was happening was an exceptional group of motivated retirees were implementing their
everyday strategies for health and well being into the study in a very overt way.
• We saw how they overcame things, what small changes and strategies were in place there.
• As a group they also fed and inspired each other—yes with their step prowess to some degree,
and also sharing info over their common devices and uncovering bits of information as they go
(we deliberately were self declared and self-effacing non-experts—Neil, I know Apple but not
Samsung, Ann and Tamara—not familiar with Apple really—Ann, terrible interface, all different,
we do the best we can—oh look what I discovered this week!).
• It would have been easy to be the holders of the knowledge and fix it, but they were all richer
for discovering and sharing and exclaiming over their discoveries with each other. And it was a
warm friendly group of people happily getting on with stuff, bettering their condition (or just
doing what they usually do).
• Each was accepted, their philosophies were respected and this became part of the sharing,
and the inspiring between each other.
23. Added other Questionnaires
• In some ways from week to week there were often not big changes so we
added some questionnaire items to drill into the gaps that the technology
didn’t uncover.
• Garmin VivoSmart HR+ is not a medical standard device. E.g. The sleep
algorithms assume deep sleep if you do not move (yet you might be reading
or watching a movie).
• We added questionnaires on sleep, motivation, sense of autonomy, exercise
and mood.
• For 3 weeks (weeks 4-6) on how they ‘felt’ they slept (before looking at
Garmin) and on week 7, we gave them the MDBF Scale for mood and
‘feeling’ 2 days… give how feel at that moment in time.

27. Mood Questionnaire Scales
We applied the MDBF, a German multidimensional mood
questionnaire. We used the short form (version A) with 12 items
(Hinz, Daig, Petrowski, & Brähler, 2012).
The questionnaire measures three bipolar dimensions:
pleasantness (pleasant-unpleasant), calmness (calm-restless)
and wakefulness (awake-sleepy).
Each of the three dimensions includes four items, whereof two
describe positive and two negative moods. Participants rated the
12 items on a 5-point Likert scale.
Participants rated the 12 items on a 5-point Likert scale (Not at all-
extremely). For analysis, we re-coded the scale from the negative
items. Thus, a high scale number shows a positive mood in each
dimension. For each dimension, points from four till 20 were
possible.
28. MDBF
We were interested in the general mood of our participants and
possible effects on their activity.
To validate the data, participants filled out the questionnaire twice;
two times during one week between weeks 6 and 8
(except one participant who submitted the sheets after week 12).

30. Overall…
• Despite a few exemptions, all participants show similar values at both times they
did the questionnaire. Participants #5 and #8 have the lowest value (13.5) for
wakefulness.
• However, #5’s values are equal (14 and 13), whereas the low value for #8 is based
on the very low value in the 2nd questionnaire (8).
• Participant #7 has the lowest average value (12) for calmness. As well, #7’s values
for pleasantness differ: #7’s first value for pleasantness is 18, whereas the second
is 14 (the lowest value).
• The most interesting participant for MDBF is #8. There is a large difference in her
wakefulness. During the first report (weekday) it was very high (scale value = 19),
whereas she reported to be very tired four days later (scale value = 8). This
difference is reasonable when looking at the participant’s activities and lifestyle.
[telling story about #8 activity etc., data informed that depending in the lifestyle,
activity and mood, and perhaps sleep changed).]
31. Exercise, autonomy, motivation of participants.
• In addition we applied the Index of Autonomous Functioning (IAF;
Weinstein, Przybylski, & Ryan, 2012),
• Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire (Exercise) (TSRQ [Exercise];
Williams, Deci, & Ryan, 1998),
• and the Perceived Competence Scale (Exercising Regularly) (PCS
[Exercising Regularly], Williams, Ryan, & Deci, 1999) were
administered at different points in the study.
32. Index of Autonomous
Functioning (IAF)
• The IAF offers self report a measure of dispositional
autonomy, that is a measure of trait autonomy.
• Within our study and in keeping with self-
determination theory (SDT; Ryan & Deci, 2017)
autonomous functioning is theorised to be strongly
associated with self-congruence, taking, interest,
and a low susceptibility to control.
• In the context of this study such autonomous
functioning would be associated with a disposition
towards being autonomous in everyday life which is
strongly associated with self-regulation and
management of one’s personal wellbeing.
33. Process of IAF
• The IAF contains 15 items arranged across three subscales (authorship/self-
congruence, interest taking, and low susceptibility to control) with each
subscale containing 5 items.
• All questions are randomised and measured on five point Likert Scale ranging
from 1 (not at all true) to 5 (completely true).
• The IAF was administered to each participant in paper form at the beginning
of interview sessions in Week 1 and Week 12.
• Given that the instrument is designed to measure constructs related to
autonomy that would be expected to be consistent, the second measurement
was used for the purposes of confirming the description of each participant.
• The mean scores across the 15 items was calculated for each time to give a
measure of autonomous functioning.

• In general autonomous
functioning was reasonably

as expected.
• As a small cohort, all
participant scored relatively

functioning with participants
3, 7, 8 scoring slightly lower.
35. Method Treatment Self-Regulation
Questionnaire [TRSQ] (Exercise).
• The TRSQ (Exercise) is a self-report instrument that
assists in measuring the quality of motivation
individuals have towards exercise.
• The theoretical underpinnings of the instrument
group items into scales that measure:
• a) amotivation towards exercise i.e., limited or no
motivation towards undertaking exercise due to
such reasons as it is not being personally important
or feelings of incompetence;
• b) controlled motivation towards undertaking
exercise i.e., the source of motivation comes from
external pressures e.g., a doctor or family member
or internal pressures e.g., feeling guilty about
exercising;
• and
• c) autonomous motivation i.e., undertaking
exercise e.g., because it is enjoyable, reasons for
doing so are valued and personally important, or
consistent with other identifications in life such as
living healthily and managing personal wellbeing.
36. Example Questions
• The reason I would exercise regularly is:
• 1. Because I feel that I want to take responsibility for my own health.
• 2. Because I would feel guilty or ashamed of myself if I did not exercise regularly.
• 3. Because I personally believe it is the best thing for my health.
• 4. Because others would be upset with me if I did not.
• 5. I really don't think about it.
• 6. Because I have carefully thought about it and believe it is very important for many aspects of my life.
• 7. Because I would feel bad about myself if I did not exercise regularly.
• 8. Because it is an important choice I really want to make.
• 9. Because I feel pressure from others to do so.
• 10. Because it is easier to do what I am told than think about it.
• 11. Because it is consistent with my life goals.
• 12. Because I want others to approve of me.
37. The Process of TRSQ
• The TRSQ Exercise is a validated and reliable 15 item scale made up of three subscales measuring
autonomous (6 items), controlled (6 items), or amotivation (3 items). Responses are self-reported on
a 1-7 scale where lower end scores (i.e., 1-3) represent not at all true, scores around the median (i.e.,
3-5) represent somewhat true, and higher end scores (i.e., 5-7) represent very true. All items refer to
a single question which is
• The following question relates to the reasons why you would either start to exercise regularly or
continue to do so. Different people have different reasons for doing that, and we want to know how
true each of the following reasons is for you. All 15 response are to the one question.
• An example item that considers amotivation is “I really don't think about it.”, an example item
measuring controlled motivation is “Because I feel pressure from others to so”, and an example
item that refers to autonomous motivation is “Because I feel that I want to take responsibility for
my own health.”
• In keeping with the other self-reported measures in this study, the instruments were administered to
assist in describing this particular cohort of participants and were administered at the administered
to each participant in paper form at the beginning of interview sessions in Week 1 and Week 12.
38. Results: Amotivation
• Mean scores for each subscale of the TRSQ
(Exercise) were calculated for both data
collection points for each participant in the
study. The scores are described in the figures
below:
• Exercise amotivation: All
participants scored extremely low
on exercise amotivation (Figure 2)
with the exception of participant 8
on the second dataset.
• The higher score may be related to personal
circumstances at the time the study was
administered. In general, the data would
suggest that the participant group were
motivated towards taking regular exercise.

41. Method TRSQ (Exercise Regularity) Competence.
• PCS (Exercising Regularly). In addition to describing the motivational status of the participants in the study, a
description of their sense of competence in exercising regularly was also required. Many theoretical
positions e.g., self-efficacy theory, theory of planned behaviour, and self-determination theory suggest that
individuals will adopt and continue with behaviours in which they feel
competence.
• In this particular cohort in which competence may be easily threatened by ill health for example it was
useful to get a sense of how competent they felt towards their exercise and if this changed during the study.
• The scale used to measure perceived competence was the PCS (Exercising regularly). It is a valid and reliable
self-reporting four item scale which examine both the confidence about and attitudes towards maintenance
of exercise behaviours. Like the TRSQ (Exercise) it is a 7-point Likert Scale with the lowest scores (i.e., 1-3)
represent not at all true, scores around the middle (i.e., 3-5) represent somewhat true, and high scores (i.e.,
5-7) represent very true.
• The single question being asked to participants is “Please indicate the extent to
which each statement is true for you, assuming that you were intending either to
begin now a permanent regimen of exercising regularly or to permanently
maintain your regular exercise regimen.”
• An example item was “I feel confident in my ability to exercise regularly.”
42. Results Exercise Competence
• A mean score for the PCS (Exercising
regularly) was calculated for both
data collection points for each
participant in the study.
• In general, five participants (1, 2, 3,
4, and 8) felt very competent about
their exercise with 5 and 7 self-
reporting lower scores.
• These scores were maintained
throughout the study with only small
changes in competence either up or
down.
• Interestingly participant 7 reported
very low competence at the end of
the study which perhaps can be
explained by the qualitative data.

43. Overview
With one or two exceptions, the cohort of participants were high both
in their disposition and experience of autonomy as well as feel
competent about their exercise.
Put differently, this group reported feeling motivated about their
exercise as well as recognizing its importance and value in their life.
Not only did they see its value, but with the exception of one or two
participants felt competent being able to exercise regularly.
46. Quantitative Data from Garmins
• Basic description:
• The variables in raw dataset were described with basic statistical analysis of mean, max,
and min values. The increase/decrease trend of variables were identified by single linear
regression with the time series of weeks (week 1 to 13) or month (August to November)
in this experiment. The basic description was presented for individuals and whole
population of this experiment.
• Group category:
• Duncan multiple group test with significant level of 0.95 (P<0.05) was applied to compare
the differences between different individuals. The results were referenced to categorize
individual into two groups, mainly identify the active/inactive individuals.
• MLR modelling analysis:
• The MLR modelling was used to find the key factors which influenced the heart health
condition (general heart rate, rest heart rate, and ratio of heart rate in the target zone),
sleep condition (hours) and activities. The analysis was conducted for groups and whole
population.

53. Rank and group of the data
• The Duncan test of Speed, Intensity, HR, rHR, HRavgInZone, and HRmaxInZone had a
clear difference between [1,5,8] and [2,3,4,7].
• However, inconsistency happened with grouping by Distance, Duration and Walking
Calorie.
• NOTES
1. The inverse of Speed and Intensity is caused by the definition of these two variables.
The simple explanation is people with better ability for sports (higher speed) will be
accounted for intensity hours more difficult than the one with lower ability for sports.
2. This can be also demonstrated by looking at the Speed and HR, which showing people
which had better sports ability owns lower HR avg, as the Intensity Minutes was
defined as the activity with HR higher than a recommend level, these guys will be
more difficult to reach that level than the one with lower ability for sport.
54. Notes contin
3. Pay attention to G8 with very low ratio of the HR in Zone. It is also
wired that people 1 5 8 with higher activity had lower ratio of HR avg in
Zone but their ratio of HRmax in Zone is higher than the others.
4. It is hard to put G4 in activity or inactivity group, his data is just
between the groups.
5. In the Histogram, HRavgInZone of Active group is low because of G8;
Intensity Min was higher with Inactivity group because they are easier
to be account for Insensitive activities; WalkingCal was higher with
Inactivity group because they do less running or other sports.

58. Notes
1.For all three group, higher T RH and W reduce the heart rate
level, indicating the changing of climate in Spring season
benefit the heart health
2.Speed could increase the rate of HR in Zone for activity group,
but insignificant for inactivity group. But speed increase the
Sleep for inactivity group
3.Intensity reduce the HR and increase the rate of HR in Zone,
but not for the activity group
4.For Intensity and Speed, activity group had no change with
different HR, rHR and other factors. However, in inactivity
group can be influenced by health and climate factors.
60. Upcoming Pathways and Paws Project
Call for Walkers and Dog Walkers
Developing an App to Find and Share the Best Paths
and Routes through Urban Spaces
Looking at easy walking, different levels of difficulty,
ways to get around/through traffic busy areas etc.
