All assignments MUST be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins and in APA format. It must be written and proof read at the graduate level. Each answer should be numbered and be 1-2 pages long. This tells you about how much content to include and is not meant as a word count. You must integrate the material presented in the text and cite your work according to APA format. 1. The term Motivation is constantly used in Sports. “Let’s get Motivated.”, “Motivation wins.” And even “Motivational climate.” What is meant by the term “motivation”? Discuss self motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, maximizing motivation, and motivational strategies. 2. There are many different coaching styles. Some coaches use authoritative and try to control everything about the athlete. Sometimes this causes the athlete to lose all self-determination. Discuss this coaching style, current research about it, and if you agree or disagree with it. Use personal examples to support your answer. 3. As a coach, how might you employ five different types of imagery (control emotional responses, acquire and practice sport skills, acquire and practice strategy, cope with pain and injury, solve problems) for different situations to enhance the performance, affect, and thoughts of your athlete? 4. Explain the self-determination theory (SDT).  Do you agree with this theory? Give recent research and personal examples to support your answer.

Discussion 1: Factors Influencing Development in Older Adults

The transition from middle to late adulthood is characterized by a growing number of life changes. Many parents become “empty nesters” as their children, now adults themselves, move out and start their own lives. Retirement might be greeted begrudgingly or with open arms. Inevitable declines in health, physical ability, and cognitive function become more apparent. Much like earlier life events, one’s reaction to these changes will depend on a multitude of factors; however, what is unique to this age range is that many of these changes will be steeped in loss. This can include the loss of a spouse, a long-time friend, a passionate career, a pleasurable lifestyle, a trade, or a hobby.

As a counselor, how might you engage older adults to thrive during this phase of their lives?

For this Discussion, review the media, “Late Adulthood.” Focus your final efforts on the older adult in your assigned family. Before crafting your post, also consider the points raised in the media, “Perspectives: The Golden Years.”

Note: Identify the last name of your assigned client family in the title of your post.

Post by Day 3 a description of two developmental factors that impact late adulthood. Explain how these factors might impact emotional and psychological well-being. Then, describe a protective factor that could optimize the older adult’s health and resilience. Justify your response with references to this week’s Learning Resources and the current literature. Be specific.

HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY: STRESS AND COPING

People react to and cope with stress in their lives in a variety of ways. Consider your midterm and final exams as an example. How stressful an experience are these for you? What are the physiological, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive reactions you usually encounter before and during your exams? In other words, what changes do you notice in your body, emotions, behavior, and thoughts? Psychologists recommend several strategies to cope with stress, including emotional, behavioral, cognitive, emotion-focused, and problem-focused methods. Which strategies do you currently use during exam time? Which methods would you consider incorporating in the future?

In at least a Four-Page essay, first describe your physiological, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive reactions to the stressor of taking exams (5 pts). Discuss two strategies (emotional, behavioral, or cognitive, emotion focused, or problem focused) or methods that you currently use to cope more effectively, explain your coping skills in terms of the strategies listed above (10 pts). Describe at least two other coping strategies you would be willing to try to alleviate the stress you experience. Again, explain these other methods in terms of the strategies listed above (10 pts). Be sure to include details from class materials, readings, and research to support your discussion. Cite your resources.
