... if period of depression exists for longer than two months, either a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, or major depression may be given. Some people find cyclothymia a livable condition, and when the condition does not progress to more severe symptoms, it can be managed with cognitive behavioral therapy. For others, destabilization of mood occurs so frequently that people will seek medication. People may take low dose mood stabilizers, and occasionally an antidepressant to help address persistent cycling. An affective disorder, also known as a mood disorder, is any mental condition whose main symptom is a major uncontrollable shifting of mood. There are a variety of affective disorders and they are typically categorized by the prevalence of the two main ends of the mood spectrum: mania and depression. Mania is a state of increased energy with feelings of euphoria and impulsiveness, while depression is a lack of energy with feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Affective disorders can be mostly mania or depression, or an abrupt shifting between the two. One of the most common types...

...Summarized by: Nada Mohamed Hassan El-Egeimy 45 C- Heliopolis Summarized by: Nada Mohamed Hassan El-Egeimy 45 C- Heliopolis PSYCHOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES: REFLEXION AND REFLECTION IN STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT Abstract In recent years, there has been a move to identify the behavioral foundations underpinning the evolutionary and economic fitness of the enterprise. Indeed, the dynamic capabilities project now occupies center stage in the field of strategic management. Yet the accounts developed thus far—like much of the field’s theory and research more generally—are predicated upon a cold cognition logic that downplays the significance of emotional/affective and nonconscious cognitive processes for strategic adaptation. In this article, we rectify this imbalance by drawing upon contemporary advances in social cognitive neuroscience and neuroeconomics to develop a series of countervailing insights and new prescriptions for the development of dynamic capabilities. Using Teece’s (2007) influential framework to organize and illustrate our arguments, we demonstrate how the fundamental capabilities of sensing, seizing, and transforming each require firms to harness the cognitive and emotional capacities of individuals and groups to blend effortful forms of analysis with the skilled utilization of less deliberative, intuitive processes. Introduction Over the past two decades, a growing body of work has sought to incorporate the insights of human psychology to...

...chart. The Taxonomy structure is helpful because it help address the patients’ needs and directs the care to the patient. The Bloom's Taxonomy is conducted of three different domains which are taught and outline. The domains are cognitive, affective and psychomotor. We use these domains in nursing on a daily basis to teach, apply and evaluate effective learning by our patients. The Blooms taxonomy gives us nurses tools and guidance to assist us in teaching our patients and making sure the patients understand what they have been taught by their nurse. Cognitive domain is to remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate and create. For example in healthcare we assess our patients learning needs and abilities. Making sure our patient can remember the directions or instructions we have given them. If we give the patient medication, we explain why they are taking it and the side effects it may have, and the patient should be able to remember what has been explained to them. Nursing needs to make sure the care providing and informing the patient and helping the patient to prepare taking the medication and if needed preparing the medication. Evaluate patients need on taking the medication, making sure all objectives were met for the patient. Making sure the patient understands. Helping the patient to plan and create a plan to accomplish the plan of care, providing...

...Analysis on Seasonal Affective Disorder and the effects of Climate and Lighting on Emotion Brain, Mind & Behavior "Seasonal affective disorder also known as winter depression, winter blues, summer depression, summer blues, or seasonal depression, is a mood disorder in which people who have normal health throughout most of the year experience depressive symptoms in the winter or summer, spring or autumn year after year." In the DSM-IV, it is not characterized as a unique mood disorder but considered a 'specifier of major depression'. (Stephen, 2007) Is it not more than a convenience that the year’s most joyous holidays occur on the onset of the winter solstice? The impact of light on emotion has been shown and linked by numerous surveys and tests in the past. Low or dark lighting has been shown to cause eye fatigue and headaches. Absence of natural daylight triggers depression and poor immune defenses. Insufficient lighting is linked to emotional stress and to physical ailments. Bright light stimulates emotions, while low levels of illumination quiet the senses. On the other hand, an excess of unnatural light does not replace the calming effects of natural daylight. Too much artificial light and overly-bright rooms hurt the eyes and make one feel jittery. (Fisher E. , 2004) The impact of lighting on mood and cognition has been difficult to demonstrate because people in industrialized countries, on average, spend 93 percent of their time indoors, making them largely disconnected...

...remembering” (1). There three domains of learning are cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. We will explore these learning domains and the relationship to patient education. Cognitive Domain Cognitive domain refers to knowledge and intellect. There are 6 categories that make up cognitive domain that range from simple to complex. Mastering these must occur in order for full comprehension. These are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. These would be related to teaching a patient with a chronic disease process by giving them the knowledge to improve and then they make the needed changes to improve their state of health. The factual information would be supplied first, such as the needed medication, lifestyle change, testing, and the anticipated effects. Comprehension would include the patient’s ability to explain why the medication was needed, what improvements would happen with the lifestyle change. Application would be the patient making the needed changes and being able to modify the behavior for better results. This modification would be evidence of analysis. Synthesis would include the patient being able to think ahead and problem for potential problems before they occur. Evaluation would include the ability to take in new information and relate it to what is already known, making a decision to include this in the plan for better health. Affective Domain Affective Domain involves our...

...Intentions Chapter 7. Consumer Decision Making Chapter 3 INTRODUCTION TO AFFECT AND COGNITION Authors' Overview of the Chapter This is the introductory chapter on consumers' affect and cognition, and it provides a foundation for the rest of this section. Students need to understand the basic concepts presented here in order to apply them throughout the course. We begin the chapter by briefly reviewing the four elements in our basic model, the Wheel of Consumer Analysis. Then we discuss in some detail two broad, internal aspects of consumers' responses--affect and cognition. We describe affect and cognition in terms of two psychological systems that sense, interpret, and respond to information in the environment. The affective and cognitive systems can be thought of as essentially independent, yet highly interrelated modes of psychological response. Affect. Affect concerns people's feelings and emotional reactions. We identify four types of affective responses--emotions, strong feelings, moods, and evaluations--that vary in intensity and level of arousal (see Exhibit 3.2, p. 42). We emphasize that the affective system is largely reactive. That is, the affective system produces various types of affective responses in reaction to stimuli to which it is exposed. Most people have little control over their affective responses, which for the most part, seem to be elicited automatically. People can have affective responses to external stimuli in the environment...

...but an aggressive viral infection set in at the damaged area which led to a month of semiconscious recovery. The infection finally abated and Gage made a complete recovery, except for blindness in his left eye and weakness in the left side of his face. However, upon returning to work it became quite clear that Mr. Gage was not entirely himself. The damage to Gage’s brain was localized in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex; nevertheless, in order to understand the personality changes that Gage underwent after his recovery it is necessary to first examine the underlying neurological and cognitive interplay thereof. Cognition and Neurology of Consequence Prediction The somatic-marker hypothesis, first proposed by A. Damasio, stipulates that somatic markers, the feelings and emotional reactions that we associate with certain responses, play an integral part in the prediction of long-term outcomes (Thagard & Wagar, 2004). Somatic markers act as a mediating force in the cognitive representation of decision-making by highlighting outcomes that have positive predictions and...

...definition of commitment”, he refers to Allen & Meyer’s (1990) three-component model and offers an explanation of those terms: 1. Affective commitment, “which refers to employees’ emotional attachment to, identification with, and involvement in, the organization” 2. Normative commitment, “which is based on feelings of loyalty and obligation” 3. ‘Continuance’ component “refers to the commitment based on the costs that employees associate with leaving the organization” Richard McBain (2005) also explores Swailes (2002) argument that measures of organisation commitment often seem to focus on the reasons for commitment, or its outcomes, rather than on the commitment itself. He also goes on to explore the research by Malhotra and Mukherjee (2003) where they test the importance of job satisfaction and organisational commitment on service quality and explore how commitment may influence the willingness of customer-contact employees to engage in discretionary efforts may reflect in the service quality they deliver. He goes on to comment on one of the key findings from Malhotra and Mukherje (2003) research; that affective commitment was more important than job satisfaction in determining the service quality of customer contact employees. Richard McBain (2005) goes on to conclude that “Service organisations should, therefore, strive to develop the affective component of commitment amongst their customer employees, alongside their job satisfaction, as part as part of their internal marketing...

They use affective message strategy, associating product with emotions and feelings such as well-being, positive energy and stress relief. Affective message strategy involves emotions and feelings of consumers associated with good, service or company. This strategy has power to influence consumer, change his reasoning process and make him to like product. As an executional framework they are using fantasy. It is designed to make audience to believe in things beyond the real world. Yogi Tea packaging delivers message of detox, cleanse, which makes consumer to believe that he can obtain positive energy, clean body and mind by drinking Yogi Tea. Emotional appeal is used in the advertisement to convey concepts of trust and reliability. I actually purchased that tea couple times and I think I was convinced by attractive package and marketing strategy, because I did not enjoy taste of that tea, but still purchased it second time just under marketing influence (Clow, 2013). 2.

The hypotheses are tested by applying quantitative analyses to data collected from 39 employees of a multinational high-technology group, specialized in the photo sensor technology in the Netherlands. The results of the analysis do not support the direct link between transformational leadership and innovative employee behavior. Yet, they support the moderator effect of affective commitment to the...

...LITERATURE REVIEW Transformational Leadership : Transformational leadership refers to pioneer transformation methodology including people, bunch and organization. It includes making substantive change in the state of mind of representatives, good rise and organization course. Buhner and Lewis (1987) highlighted that transformational leadership "is made conceivable when a pioneer's end values (interior models) are embraced by supporters consequently delivering changes in the state of mind, convictions and objectives of devotees" (p.653). Likewise, Bryman (1992) has expressed that "changing leadership involves both pioneers and adherents raising one another's inspiration and feeling of reason. This higher intention is one in which the points and desires of pioneers and supporters coagulate into one. Both pioneers and adherents are changed in quest for objectives which express yearnings in which they can recognize themselves" (p.95). It is doubtlessly transformational leadership is of extraordinary enthusiasm of study because of its fame and appeal of this leadership style discovered to be reliably related with predominant execution (Barling, Weber & Kelloway, 1996; Bass, Avolio, Jung & Berson, 2003; Dvir, Eden, Avolio & Shamir, 2002; Yammarino & Bass, 1990), expanded spirit related results, for example, self adequacy (Kirkpartick & Locke, 1996), emotional responsibility (Barling et al, 1996), characteristic inspiration (Charbonneau, Barling & Kelloway...

...One of the main problems during a recession is employee attitudes. Excellent management skills are needed in trying economic times in order to boost employee morale and productivity. One of the methods used include Schwartz’s 10 values that guide a person’s behavior. Another method used is affective, cognitive, and behavioral components that influence behavior by increasing organizational commitment. Increasing employee involvement is also important to management. Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior can be used by managers to increase employee performance during a recession. Schwartz proposed that there are 10 values that guide a person’s behavior. The 10 values that he proposed are as follows: power, achievement, hedonism, stimulation, self-direction, universalism, benevolence, tradition, conformity, and security. Many of these values are driving the behavior of managers at Bain & Company, Home Depot, and Best Buy. Frank Blake the Chairman and Chief Executive of Home Depot decided to boost morale by lowering bonus guidelines for hourly employees to set more realistic goals. This exemplifies the values of achievement, power, stimulation, and self-direction. The end result was that the highest percentage of in store employees receiving bonuses in the first half of that year. Steve Ellis is the worldwide managing director of Bain & Company. His behavioral component of his attitude in managing during a recession is one that includes hiring managing consultants in...

Kelly Purdue University and Sigal G. Barsade Yale University Affective influences abound in groups. In this article we propose an organizing model for understanding these affective influences and their effects on group life. We begin with individuallevel affective characteristics that members bring to their groups: moods, emotions, sentiments, and emotional intelligence. These affective characteristics then combine to form a group’s affective composition. We discuss explicit and implicit processes through which this affective combination occurs by examining the research on emotional contagion, entrainment, modeling, and the manipulation of affect. We also explore how elements of the affective context, such as organizationwide emotion norms and the group’s particular emotional history, may serve to constrain or amplify group members’ emotions. The outcome, group emotion, results from the combination of the group’s affective composition and the affective context in which the group is behaving. Last, we focus on the important interaction between nonaffective factors and affective factors in group life and suggest a possible 2001 Academic Press agenda for future research. During the past century, a tremendous amount of research attention has been devoted to understanding the structure and performance of small...

...the Registered Nurse (RN) expands so must the nurse’s teaching skills through continuing education. Because of the diversity of patient population, hospitals and public heath settings the RN should be well prepared to effectively teach patients from all walks of life ie., education, age, culture, religion, etcetera (Crosby, 1977). This essay will go over Bloom’s taxonomy of education and its use in nursing education, the applications of the nursing research conducted on nursing education and will touch on the three domains outlined in Bloom’s taxonomy. In 1956 Benjamin Bloom along with educators from the University of Chicago developed Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives. There are three domains in Blooms taxonomy: cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Cognitive : In the cognitive domain learners , which for the purpose of this paper would be a patient, patients would be expected to retrieve information from long-term memory such as knowing what medications are used for and what the side effects might be for that specific medication. After being taught, patients would be expected to be able to verbalize the meaning of oral , graphic or written information; such as being able to verbalize how to recognize the signs and symptoms of an infected wound. Patients would also be expected to be able to apply the knowledge they have been taught such as for a hyptertensive patient being able to monitor their own blood pressure and know the healthy ranges of blood pressure. Patients...
