affective

Examples of affective in the following topics:

• Introduction

  • When instructional designers consider the affective domain, they frequently think only in terms of a student's motivation to learn.
  • As Smith and Ragan (1999) have pointed out, "any 'cognitive' or 'psychomotor' objective has some affective component to it (if at no deeper level than a willingness to sufficiently interact with learning resources to achieve the learning)" (p. 250, parentheses in original).
  • This chapter will explore other aspects of instruction related to the affective domain.
  • In each of the following examples, affective learning outcomes are linked to explicit cognitive goals.

• Variables Affecting Adult Learning

  • While the most common reason for adults to place themselves in a learning environment is a life-changing event, once in that environment there are many factors that affect the learning experience.

• Muscular Dystrophy

  • Most of these diseases affect multiple organ systems including the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, nervous, and endocrine systems.
  • MD-affected individuals with susceptible intellectual impairment are diagnosed through molecular characteristics but not through problems associated with disability.
  • Muscular dystrophy is generally an inherited disease, with men affected at much higher rates than women.
  • Women are often carriers of the disease gene variant, but not affected themselves, although other patterns of inheritance exist for the different types of MD.
  • In affected muscle the tissue becomes disorganized and the concentration of dystrophin (green) is greatly reduced.

• Historical Returns: Market Variability and Volatility

  • Macroeconomic forces, such as the Great Depression, affect the entire stock market and can't be predicted from past market performance.
  • The failure of one company affects all the companies who purchase from it or sell to it, which in turn affects all the companies that rely on them.
  • Animal spirits are the emotions felt by investors who affect markets.
  • Expectations of investors affect how they act, which in turn affects the markets.
  • Markets and stocks are affected by many factors beyond the information in their financial statements and past performance.

• How Emotion and Mood Influence Behavior

  • Emotions and mood can affect temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation.
  • They can affect a person's physical well-being, judgement, and perception.
  • All moods can affect judgment, perception, and physical and emotional well-being.
  • Dopamine can affect a person's energy level and mood, while seratonin can affect critical-thinking skills.
  • Job satisfaction can affect a person's mood and emotional state.

• How Job Satisfaction Influences Behavior

  • Job satisfaction can affect a person's level of commitment to the organization, absenteeism, and job turnover.
  • Job satisfaction can affect a person's level of commitment to the organization, absenteeism, and job turnover rate.
  • Job satisfaction also reduces stress, which can affect job performance, mental well-being, and physical health.
  • Stress can also affect decision-making—possibly leading to unethical or nonstrategic choices.
  • Managers are tasked with managing this positive culture and understanding how each employee is affected by cultural influences in the workplace.

• The Equilibrium Interest Rate

  • Interest rates can be affected by monetary and fiscal policy, but also by changes in the broader economy and the money supply.
  • Political gain: both monetary and fiscal policies can affect the money supply and demand for money.
  • Consumption: the level of consumption (and changes in that level) affect the demand for money.
  • Inflation expectations: inflation expectations affect a the willingness of lenders and borrowers to transact at a given interest rate.
  • Changes in expectations will therefore affect the equilibrium interest rate.

• Robust statistics

  • How are the sample statistics of the num char data set affected by the observation, 64,401?
  • (a) Which is more affected by extreme observations, the mean or median?
  • (b) Is the standard deviation or IQR more affected by extreme observations?
  • The mean and standard deviation are much more affected by changes in extreme observations.
  • 1.33: (a) Mean is affected more. ( b) Standard deviation is affected more.

• Paget's Disease

  • Paget's disease is a chronic bone disorder that causes affected bones to become large and misshapen.
  • The excessive breakdown and formation of bone tissue causes affected bone to weaken, resulting in pain, misshapen bones, fractures, and arthritis in the joints near the affected bones.
  • Paget's disease typically is localized, affecting just one or a few bones, as opposed to osteoporosis, for example, which affects all the bones in the body.
  • Men are more-commonly affected than women (ratio of 3:2).
  • Since undue stress on affected bones should be avoided, patients should discuss any exercise program with their physicians before beginning.

• Questions for Discussion

  • What factors do you think led you to getting the job and what factors affected the salary that you received?
  • 2) How do you think your gender, race, and socioeconomic position have affected your path through life so far?
