Abstract:
|
The amount of expectations students experience can be staggering and overwhelming. Better understanding how students respond to internal and external expectations can enable advisors to help students be more successful in accomplishing their academic goals. Gretchen Ruben's 'The Four Tendencies,' defines the way individuals respond to pressures placed on them, either by themselves or from outside influences. We will examine how 'The Four Tendencies' empower advisors to motivate students to overcome their challenges, meet deadlines, make more-informed decisions, suffer less stress and burnout, and engage more effectively with their academic experience. This asset-based model founded in positive psychology can serve advisors as another tool to better serve their students. We will also identify our own personal tendencies, and discuss ways to better navigate our advising workplaces to be more efficient in our careers. |
