User:Ayapici/Corn Starch

Back to Speakers team page.

Give instructor top 3 project choice list
My top three project preferences were Perfume, Corn Starch, and Music project, and I was assign to work on Corn starch..

Write problem statement
One of my research interests is the behavior of corn starch gels. Corn starch has interesting properties that I will try to find out why it act like this.

Assign Task1
task one for the week one to get the corn starch, and make an oobleck mixture, and find the recipe.

Compare actual work done to Task2
The Major task was done completely, I was able to get corn starch, and found how it acts when you mix it with water, it became solid and liquid.

Week1 Narrative

One of the most important thing was made this week was how to get the perfect recipe for the corn starch to act like solid and liquid.

At first, I got the corn starch, and because I was very excited I ended up opening the box from the bottom. After getting my materials ready, I followed the link that had the main recipe..:recipe of Corn Starch, I followed step by step and I had some issues, my first problem was less water, and I add more water and waited about 10 minute and start stirring again.The mixture was acting like glue or honey most likely and that is how it spouse to be like. After adding more corn starch and waiting little more, nothing much happen it was not as sticky as it should have been. I have decided to add more corn starch to the mixture, and find out how it is going to act, if it acts like a solid I would add more water. I finally reached my goal, it was acting as a solid and a liquid.

This part of the project was not difficult but it just needed some preciseness and accuracy by adding water and corn starch to find the perfect amount for corn starch to act like its states (solid and liquid) To see how corn Starch act, in a very short video just follow the link.

User:U3038068/Research Based Support

Numerous studies (Martinsen 1990, Greer 2011) have shown that people who exercise regularly experience fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety than those who do not exercise regularly.
 * Several trials have shown that regular exercise of moderate intensity can be an effective treatment by itself for mild to moderate depression.
 * Two trials have found that 16 weeks of regular exercise is equally effective as an SSRI antidepressant medication in the treatment of mild to moderate depression in older adults who have been inactive.
 * Research also suggests that exercise can further assist depression in individuals with depression who have responded only partially to an antidepressant medication.

Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Diet, weight loss, and emotion

Introduction
Emotional states and situations can affect our food intake, in some cases to an extreme extend. Depending on the individual, these emotional states can lead to a decreased food intake, however in most cases they result in an increased food intake. This uncontrolled eating can be caused by both negative and positive emotional states and situations a person is going through.

So many people are struggling with reaching their ideal weight, or when reached, it can be a major struggle to maintain it. It is hard work, including so many different factors, which a lot of those people are not, or not fully, aware of. This chapter shares some findings about why emotions are so important when it comes to diet and weight loss, lays out the importance of our body and mind connection, and gives some tips to help people see the big picture and reaching their personal goals.

Definition and role of emotions
Basically, we have emotions to help us cope and express situations in everyday life. They allow us to communicate what we feel towards certain situations, people, things, thoughts, senses, dreams, and memories. (Myers, 2004).

How emotions affect diet and weight loss
Have you ever asked yourself how emotions can affect weight loss? Well, when considering the role of the mind towards successful weight loss, it is important to understand the concept of how the mind actually works, both consciously and subconsciously.

One important factor as for why so many people have weight management issues is our emotions and negative patterns that we have formed throughout our life. It is those bad habits that people have, without even realising, that are so hard to get rid of. It is a process which happens without giving it proper thought or putting any effort into. For example, why do so many people who are depressed become overweight? Because their emotional low makes them lose rational control over choosing what is best for themselves, and therefore for their body. They crave food, mostly unhealthy, fatty food, to bring pleasure to themselves and their life, because food stimulates and satisfies the body. Moreover, they simply choose not to leave the house and therefore lack physical activity. Once finding themselves at this point, it can be extremely hard to get back into a healthy, active lifestyle and to lose weight. It is, once again, an emotional matter as well as a motivational one, since being overweight and unfit makes them feel unhappy and even more depressed and it is very hard to just start feeling better and change their whole lifestyle around (Wurtman, 1993).

Common difficulties in weight loss
It seems that dieting and being hungry always go together. But you can no doubt change your thinking about that issue if you know some key factors and how to handle them. If you have ever dieted, you know only too well that one of the downsides is that you actually spend a lot of time thinking about food. And what 'goodies' you are missing out on, AND how that makes you feel!

A lot of the time people break their diets because the hunger and deprivation just become too much to bear. Once reverting back to old 'bad eating' habits, the kilos unfortunately start stacking on again and it gets, mostly for psychological reasons, harder and harder to go through yet another whole process of dieting and also creates a continuing frustrating cycle. The idea is to revolutionise both the way you look at food and manage your weight, by listening to your body and act accordingly to its needs (Sainsbury-Salis, 2007).

Mind and body connection of hunger
The connection between mind and body has been studied for years, although it seems that the mind and body link of hunger is a more recent matter. Nowadays, hunger is primarily motivational. Despite previous strong beliefs that hunger is a purely biological cause, this motivation is controlled not just by physiology, but to a great extend also by psychology. Our emotions, eg. the way we react and respond to something, the way we feel about something or somebody, has a major impact on our eating behaviour. Hence, there are two kinds of hunger; one is caused physiologically, and the other one psychologically. What makes human beings different from animals is the motivation to eat. We eat not only to feed our bodies as a necessity to satiate physiological hunger, but also, and more often, to feed our minds to satiate our psychological hunger. However, putting some food in our mouth to satisfy our mood is not necessarily the right way to feed our psychological hunger. It is argued that problems like eating disorders and obesity could result because of our mistaken attempts to satisfy our psychological hunger by eating food when our body really doesn't need it. Until we realise and admit that it is our mind, and not our body, which needs food, we cannot be satisfied with what we put in our mouth. Thus, hunger is about how our body and mind together are well fed. Not only the satisfaction we get from putting food in our mouth influences and defines our satiety, but also the whole environment around us (Lowe & Butryn, 2007).

Psychological roots for emotional frustration and craving fatty foods
Foods containing a high percentage of fat, sugar and salt, stimulate the brain to release dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with the pleasure centre in our brain. In time, the brain gets wired so that dopamine pathways light up at the slightest association with the food, such as driving past a fast-food restaurant, and the urge to eat the food grows more and more. Once the food is eaten, the brain releases opioids, which bring emotional relief. People choose fatty foods as comfort foods when bored, stressed or upset. Comfort eaters may reach for familiar fatty foods or foods that remind them of better times. Eating fatty foods may become a distraction from problems or a comfort when feeling upset, stressed or sad. However, it is argued that fatty food cravings may be largely a matter of habit. People often experience food cravings because they're used to eating certain types of food in certain situations or in response to certain emotional states. They key is to understand your emotions and to know how to respond to them (Christensen & Brooks, 2006)

A physiological and psychological approach of satiety vs. hunger
The mechanism of hunger and satiety are not necessarily the same. There are two mechanisms for satiety. One is at the brain level, the other is at the gastrointestinal tract level. There are two places in the hypothalamus, part of the brain, that controls hunger and eating. The Ventromedial Nuclei gives a signal when to stop eating, and the Lateral hypothalamus gives a signal to start eating. We feel satiety at the brain level because of the function of the Ventromedial Nuclei. On the other hand, it is stated that satiety signals come from the stomach, which controls short-term eating. (Coon, 1995).

Important emotional support during weight loss
Emotional support is the often forgotten piece of the weight loss puzzle. Everyone knows you need to watch what you eat and exercise regularly, but dealing with emotions and changing the way you think is what gets you to the final goal. However, knowing where to find emotional support is tricky—our usual go-to people may be less helpful or understanding than we would like (Wing & Birch, 1998). 3 types of emotional support have been suggested by psychologists, which can be helpful in different situations:

Family and friends
If you have a friend or family member who is also trying to lose weight, you can support each other by sharing more than just recipes and workouts. Talking about your feelings, especially when you've had a bad day, helps put things back into perspective. We are often our own worst critics and your loved ones can and will support you regardless of whether you ate that whole box of cookies. Although this is usually the first choice, friends and family can also be too close to the situation, so be sure to choose your confidant wisely (Golan & Crow 2004).

Online community
The social action model is both task- and process-oriented. It is con- cerned with increasing the problem-solving ability of the community and with achiev- ing concrete changes to redress imbalances of power and privilege between an oppressed or disadvantaged group and the larger society. Weight loss communities are an excellent source of information and support. Online meetings give you a group of people going through the same strugglesMessage boards help like-minded individuals find each other. Plus, the online community has the best of both worlds: you can make real friends who help you deal with real issues, while maintaining a certain amount of anonymity and distance. Your online friends are not intricately involved in your daily life, so they can offer insight on situations from an unbiased perspective. Since it is a whole community, the amount of emotional support is amazing. You will find that many people are having the exact same feelings you are and you'll be able to get advice from those that have gone through these situations before (Minkler, Wallerstein, & Wilson, 2008).

Help and advice from professionals
Talking to a medical professional can also be a source of emotional support, as they have experience in helping people who are trying to lose weight. A family doctor, for example, may be able to help fight through feelings and difficulties. Since people usually have the same doctor throughout a long period of time, there's experience and knowledge, both personal and professional, and can manifest in a certain trust between doctor and patient. Alternatively, dieticians are experts when it comes to weight loss. They work with clients with weight loss problems on a daily basis and can be a source of both information and understanding (Wing & Birch, 1998) It is argued that for many people, excess weight is a symptom of some other internal problem(s), which can possibly be resolved by the help of a therapist, and result in a decrease or even in disappearance of the symptoms (Zablocki, 1998).

Emotional eating: Why it happens
Just about everyone engages in emotional eating at one time or another in life. The misconception is that people only eat when they are depressed or stressed out. In reality, there are a variety of emotional reasons for eating. You may eat because you feel happy, sad, mad, stressed or bored (van Strien, 2010).

Background and research
Anytime you reach for food and it is not because you are hungry, there is an emotional reason behind it. It could be that you are at a party and food is a way to enjoy your experience. It may be that you are a guest in someone’s home and eating is a way to put yourself and your guest at ease. You may be at home feeling bored with nothing to do and you reach for food because it is a way to pass the time. Or, you may be sad or angry and it’s a way to make yourself feel better and get your mind off of things.

Everyone has their own comfort foods. Cookies, ice cream, candy, pizza, or French fries are just a few examples. Studies show that the types of comfort foods you choose are linked to your particular mood. For example, happy people are drawn to steak or pizza. Those who are sad tend to eat more sweets, such as cookies and ice cream. When people are bored, they eat potato chips (Sainsbury-Salis, 2007).

How to recognise and stop emotional eating
According to Sainsbury-Salis (2007), emotional eating is the culprit behind many people’s weight problems and it very common. Anytime people eat or overeat even without being hungry, they are eating due to some emotion. These emotions could be joy, sadness, anger, frustration, or boredom. The key is to avoid making bad choices so that emotional eating does not become the only strategy for dealing with emotions.

The same source suggests that, when catching ourselves in a moment where we eat despite lack of hunger or when we, for some reason, cannot stop eating despite being full, the trick is to ask ourselves why we are eating. It is argued that keeping a food journal can help to track any patterns and to be more aware of our habits to be eventually be able to overcome and change them. Our environment, people we spend time with, can have a significant influence as well. When realising that a certain environment or a certain person pushes us towards emotional eating, it is best to think of other ways to spend time with that person and for example choose a different place that is not associated with eating (Sainsbury-Salis, 2007).

Regular self-check-ins about whether or not we are really hungry are good opportunities to think of other activities to replace emotional eating. For example, if a person finds that he or she is eating because he or she is feeling sad, other alternatives to deal with his or her emotions are going for a walk, writing in a journal, calling a supportive friend or reading an enlightening book or article. If food is a way to deal with anger or frustration, the realization is a good starting point for dealing with the core of the emotion. Furthermore, it is a good thing to ask oneself what it actually is that is causing the emotional stress so that we can respond to it accordingly.

Emotional eating can become a problem if it is the most common way of dealing with emotional problems. It can result in an overconsumption of calories, which leads to weight gain. Simply checking in with ourselves on a regular basis to measure whether we are really hungry will help addressing the core of the issue in ways that do not involve food (van Strien, 2010).

Tips to stop emotional eating and the cravings for sugar and fatty foods
by Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis (2007).

 * 1) Keep Healthy Snack Foods Around Milch-Jogurt-Früchte.jpgngs aren't going to go away overnight, and that's why it is necessary to start training our body, and more importantly our mind, not to have them. It's a smart idea to keep healthy snacks, like fruit or a container of almonds, within an arm's reach, so they can be grabbed as soon as the feeling of a craving is coming on. This method can be especially effective if experiencing sweets cravings at work. The healthy snack will satisfy that hunger and take the mind off of the sweet snack.
 * 2) Cut Down on the Sweets Studies show that the more sweets are eating, the more they are craved. It is possible essentially minimise our desire for sugar simply by cutting down on our intake overall. It is the same deal, for example, with people who eliminate sugar from their tea or coffee and then can't go back to drinking sweetened versions. Eliminating sugar cravings overall works the same way--just on a larger scale. But in time, our body begins to build a distaste for anything too sweet, which will help to consume sugary foods in moderation. We don't have to give up on every sugary good there is, however moderation is the key.
 * 3) Wait Fifteen Minutes Cravings are short-lived, so trying not to act on them immediately, can help! Most nutritionists and health experts recommend waiting fifteen minutes before giving into the craving. Chances are it will go away. If it doesn't, it is recommended to train our body to have a moderate portion of something sweet so the intake of sugary and fatty foods decreases.
 * 4) Distract Yourself When craving something sweet all of a sudden, it can be reduced by distraction, like for example picking up a magazine and start reading, or going out for a walk, talk to a friend or go and get something done. Another essential thing is to drink water, lots of water. Not only does drinking water take your mind off of the craving, but it also helps to make you feel fuller. Often people confuse the sensation of being hungry with dehydration of the body. Drinking regular amounts of water helps our metabolism to function for longer and keeps us fuller for longer.

Tips to think and act like a nutritionist
Nutritionists typically obtain high amounts of education regarding making healthy food choices and are very good for giving professional advice. However, scheduling an appointment with a nutritionist can be very expensive. There are supposably some easy ways to learn how to think like a nutritionist. Overall, for best results, choosing the right foods, eating several small meals over the course of the day, and planning ahead are the key factors.

 * 1) Choosing the Right Foods One of the best ways to think like a nutritionist is to choose the right foods. According to the USDA, individuals should consume plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grains. All of these foods are rich in fiber, which can help in the prevention of numerous serious conditions and keep the body full for longer. It is argued that choosing lean meats and healthy fats is best for our bodies, and we should avoid sugary foods such as chocolate, cakes and cookies. Eating these foods cannot only help to keep the goal weight on track, but can also ensure good health and optimal growth (Elfhag, 2005).
 * 2) Going for the Right Portion Sizes It is important to eat in small portions during the day in order to achieve weight loss or maintenance goals. However, in order to achieve success with this technique, it is important to make the right choices in terms of serving size. Over the past few years, serving sizes in both restaurants and at home have gotten progressively larger, which has been linked to increases in weight gain and obesity. Our bodies can get used to the portions sizes, which means that when trying to cut back on large meals, our bodies and metabolism will adapt to it. Reading serving size labels closely and follow USDA food guide pyramid recommendations is helpful in order to determine what the appropriate serving size is for each food item (Elfhag, 2005).
 * 3) Eating Several Meals a Day Eating several meals over the course of the day is crucial, according to many psychologists, nutritionists and scientists. Research has found that eating several meals over the course of the day is not only important in the maintenance of a set weight, but can also help to regulate blood sugar levels. It is suggested that for best results, eating at least five to six small meals each day containing lean protein and whole grains is most successful for monitoring weight loss. This will help to keep feeling full for longer, and will give the body the energy that it needs to make it through the rest of the day (Sainsbury-Salis, 2007).
 * 4) Planning Ahead For best results when thinking like a nutritionist, planning ahead is one of the key factors. This cannot only serve to make meal planning much easier, but ensures that the foods eating are both healthy and delicious. Creating a schedule at the end of each weekend that lays out the food choices for the following week is helpful. Moreover, it is suggested to prepare as many meals as possible ahead of time in order to achieve optimal results with this technique (Sainsbury-Salis, 2007).

Summary
It has been scientifically proven that emotions play a major role in diet control and weight loss. Eating is not just about satisfying our physiological needs, but also about satisfying our psychological needs. In other words, it is not just about giving our body what it needs and what is necessary and healthy for us, but also about what our body wants and when it wants it.

Our emotional state plays a major role in our regular food intake and negative emotions like stress, sadness or frustration can lead us to make bad choices when it comes to food. It is important to know our body and its needs and to know how to respond to it. Every body has cravings, mainly for bad foods, and it can be very hard to resist those cravings. It has been shown by psychologist and nutritionist that there are certain ways that can help us stop cravings and live a healthier life. The best way is to think before eating, make a plan diet plan and eat foods that fill you up and contain all the nutritional values our body needs. It can be hard sometimes to be consistent and wise about food, but research and studies show it can be done.

Motivation and emotion/Book/2011/Competitiveness

Overview
Motivation is the drive and persistence an individual requires to fulfil targets and to reach goals (Lee & Liu, 2009). Motivation encompasses a kaleidoscope of factors that influence an individual's ability to achieve outcomes and to obtain results. Levels of motivation vary amongst individuals and a bevy of factors determine how motivated an individual can be. Both intrinsic as well as extrinsic factors (Abumahdeh et al, 2009) influence the motivational levels of individuals and the ways in which we can achieve our goals.

What motivates people to be competitive? Is it an innate characteristic that humans are born with? Or is it an attitude that has been learned or trained through society values? Can we control this attitude or just succumb to it? Have you ever wondered what it is that motivates you to get out of bed? Or what motivates the person beside you to swim 15km a day? These motivational forces are based on individual differences and explains why people become competitive. There is a driving force within all of us but how we acknowledge and use this force represents our individual differences (Ryckman et al, 1997). Competitive natures vary amongst individuals some people use competition to achieve their potential and improve their personal growth and others use it for selfish gains to win acceptance and praise (Collier et al., 2010).

Competition can be defined as a contest between individuals and/or animals where they strive to attain and reach particular goals. These goals may be resources, food or awards (Ryckman et al., 1997). The concept of competitiveness has been linked to early socialisation processes between parents and children. Parents often teach individualism to their children and this is often characterised by making distinctions between themselves and others (Collier et al., 2010). This could include the idea of exclusion of others and could lead to hypercompetitive attitudes that may be manipulative and exploitative in nature (Ryckman et al, 2009).

Competition and competitiveness
Motivation and competitiveness go hand in hand. Many individuals who are extremely motivated are also extremely competitive as they know what they want to achieve and how to get it. When you think of the concept of competition a sporting event usually comes to mind. However it’s not just in sport that you will find competition. We have been in constant competition from birth as it was a competition for the sperm to join with the egg thus creating who and what we are today. As a society we are always in a constant competition with one another (Ryckman et al., 1997)to attain food, resources, the best supermarket carpark, and the cheapest fuel. Competition occurs in all facets of life such as in homes, schools, religion, the workplace, parliament, sports, fashion, music, theatre, supermarkets, food, resources and between states and nations.

Competition doesn’t just occur between humans. Animals also rely on their competitive natures in order to survive. As proposed by Darwin, it's the 'survival of the fittest' those predators who are most competitive are more likely to capture the prey rather than those that are not as competitive (Preece 2003). This competition and survival mechanism can be portrayed as just being part of 'the circle of life' how we adapt and live our lives within our habitats. Animals also experience sibling rivalry as they may need to compete with their siblings for food and for attention and may even become the prey themselves.

Evidence of competitiveness
Competitiveness occurs in all factors of life in every environment, situation, and position (Ryckman et al., 1997). Whether it be in the home between siblings and parents, in schools amongst teachers and students where students are vying for prizes and accolades. In games and sports where awards are given to people who place. In government where parties and leaders compete to rule the country and to issue policies and procedures. In religion with people handing out brochures welcoming others to the faith and trying to sway people towards their religion. In the workplace where individuals compete with each other for promotions and bonuses as well as companies competing with each other to meet targets. In fashion with styles, prices and brand names. Competition also occurs between the supermarkets to have the cheapest banana prices and the cheapest petrol prices. In music and theatre where talent is glorified with oscars and grammys. Between nations and states as they compete for resources, cheaper electricity and petrol and to meet coal demands. Competition occurs in all factors and these factors influence an individual's motivation.

Below is a gallery of images that portrays evidence of competitive environments and factors as mentioned above. The Vatican basilica represents the competition between religions around the world. The petrol pump and wind farm images represent the competition for resources that occurs everyday between individuals and states and nations. The power lines image represents the competitiveness of electricity prices around the globe and for the everyday items that require electricity to be used. The bananas image represents the age old competition between the supermarkets. The price of bananas is a very controversial issue at the moment and supermarkets are competing with each other to have the cheapest prices and to meet the consumer's needs. Lastly, the valedictorian image represents the competition within the schooling system. From the moment we start Kindergarten we are in a constant competition with our fellow classmates for grades, accolades and recognition.

Hypercompetitive, avoidance, and personal-development competitive individuals
Competitiveness comes in three main types – hypercompetitive individuals, competition avoidance individuals and personal development competitive individuals. Hypercompetitive individuals are those who show higher levels of the need to be superior to others, general mistrust of others, greater selfishness, lower self esteem and altruism (Collier et al., 2010). Hypercompetitive individuals have individualistic attitudes and some show less concern for others and are less willing to forgive others. This behaviour can be seen as damaging to the social fabric of a society (Collier, et al., 2010). Hypercompetitive individuals have a need to compete and win and may often manipulate or enhance their feelings of self worth and prestige by the exploitation and degradation of others (Ryckman et al., 2009). They are often depicted as being ruthless hunters who only care about affection and approval from others based on their success in certain situations (Ryckman et al., 2009). Often hypercompetitive individuals compete in events so as to gain favourable judgements such as prestige and recognition (Ryckman et al., 1997). By achieving their goals hypercompetitive individuals feel a sense of superiority and supremacy to others.

Hypercompetitiveness can be measured on the Hypercompetitive Attitude Scale which consists of 26 items that assesses the individual differences associated with hypercompetitive individuals. Total scores can range from 26-130. Higher scores represent those with a stronger hyper competitive attitude (Collier et al., 2010).

Competition avoidance is a neurotic form of competitiveness where the individual feels the need to check their ambition because of the fear of dissatisfaction (Ryckman et al., 2009). These individuals usually avoid being conspicuous and stay out of the limelight. These individuals also fear losing affection and approval of others as a consequence of either being successful or of failure (Ryckman et al., 2009). Those with competitive avoidance often fear that success would cause other people to resent or look down on them (Ryckman et al., 2009). These individuals may also ensure that they purposely do not succeed so that they do not win.

As well as avoiding success, those with competitive avoidance do not like failure as they fear that others will look down on them, they become embarrassed and fear others will gloat about their victories over them (Ryckman et al., 2009). Individuals who are competition avoiders can be encouraged to overcome this by developing more confidence and a willingness to participate in activities regardless of what others think of them (Ryckman et al., 2009). These individuals can be encouraged to participate in structured activities that allow them to reach their goals without causing destructive behaviour to themselves or others (Ryckman et al., 2009). These individuals could also be encouraged to cultivate relationships within the competitive environment so as to enhance their social skills and to make them feel less threatened by failure or success as they may know the other competitors in a personal way (Ryckman et al, 2009).

Personal development competitive individuals are those who focus on personal growth and respect others as they provide the individual with the opportunity for learning and self discovery (Collier et al., 2010; Ryckman et al., 1997). These individuals want to win and be successful like hypercompetitive individuals however not at the expense of others (Collier et al., 2010). These individuals use the competitive environment to enhance their self discovery and self improvement (Ryckman et al., 1997). These individuals do not see it as a comparison with others but rather a comparison with themselves (Collier et al., 2010). They are independent and use the opportunity to choose their goals and achieve outcomes through success by being in concert with other competitors (Collier et al., 2010). These individuals express conformity, tradition, benevolence and respect (Ryckman et al., 1997). These individuals are psychologically healthy as they have high self-esteem and low neuroticism (Collier et al., 2010). They are also more sympathetic and concerned about others.

These individuals can be assessed by using the Personal Development Competitive Attitude Scale (Collier et al., 2010). This is a 15 item measure that assesses the individual differences in attitudes based on personal goals. Scores can range from 15-75 those with higher scores show a stronger personal development attitude (Collier et al, 2010).

Competitive influences
Competition has a major influence on the motivation of an individual. Some individuals use competition as a positive means to achieve their goals. They use the competitive environment to gain personal growth and see other competitors as aides in helping them to reach their potential (Collier et al., 2010; Ryckman et al., 1997). Other individuals use competition in a negative way. These individuals use competition selfishly to achieve their goals without considering the consequences to themselves and others (Collier et al., 2010). Some individuals may become so consumed with motivation for their goal that they lose touch with other factors and their life becomes about the competition rather than other factors that are essential for life and growth.

Both external and internal factors affect how motivated an individual can be. These influences can have a positive and a negative experience on the individual and can impact on the way that they interact with others and society and the way in which they approach tasks. External factors may include the environment, society, and the relationships an individual has with another person. Internal factors could include the emotions of the person and the ways in which they deal with situations. Both the external and internal factors can become distorted when a person becomes consumed with competitiveness and their motivation may overpower their lives and becomes their main focus. The relationship the individual has with him/herself and others may be impacted when they become too competitive as they may lose sight of what is important.

Society places a great emphasis and pressure on competition and the concept of winning (Ryckman et al., 2009). There is a controlling focus on being competitive and successful (Ryckman et al., 2009). This pressure that society places on the individual can cause them to experience low intrinsic motivation as the individual may feel that the competition becomes less focused on the enjoyment of the activity but rather on obtaining victory and success (Abuhamdeh et al., 2009). This concept is known as the hidden cost of reward (Reeve, 2009). That is, it is having the opposite effect on the individual rather than motivating them to win it is causing them to not enjoy the success that winning brings. This is causing the individual to have a lower intrinsic motivation and it causes them to be unable to enjoy the activity, their victory and success (Abuhamdeh et al., 2009).

Intrinsic motivation is the motivation to participate in an activity purely for the enjoyment that it gives to the individual (Abuhamdeh et al., 2009). This enjoyment allows the individual to pursue this activity and to perform at high standards (Abuhamdeh et al., 2009). When this intrinsic motivation becomes about the reward rather than the enjoyment the individual becomes less motivated to participate in this activity (Abuhamdeh et al, 2009). Thus competition and the competitive environment associated with competition has a profound effect on the motivation of an individual. It influences the individual's emotions and motivations towards that particular activity. Intrinsic motivation can have a positive effect on an individual as s/he enjoys the competition and uses the competitive environment to his/her advantage. This is a positive influence on motivation as the individual is enjoying the activity and enhancing his/her skills. By enjoying the competitive atmosphere it is allowing them to be successful in a positive way.

Extrinsic motivation can be defined as being the motivation to participate in an activity as a means to an end rather than an actual end (Abuhamdeh et al., 2009). That is, when an individual is extrinsically motivated they participate in activities so as to achieve victory and success rather than for the enjoyment that intrinsic motivation brings (Abuhamdeh et al., 2009). Those who are extrinsically motivated can be seen as being hypercompetitive as they are extremely motivated to achieve their goals and to be successful. This can have a negative influence on the individual as it may make them unhappy as they are participating in the activity not for enjoyment but to attain rewards. The competitive environment can also affect their psychological health as it may affect their ability to interact with others as they would see all situations to be a competition even though they may not be (Abuhamdeh et al., 2009). This could cause their relationships to be affected as people may find them too competitive and over motivated that they may not wish to associate with them for much longer.

Another external factor that can influence the competitive motivation of an individual is the parental practices that were administered to the individual when they were growing up. Parents play a huge role in the upbringing of a child and many of the values that a child gains are similar to those values that their parents hold. Socialisation practices developed by a parent can impact greatly on a child (Ryckman et al., 1997). Parents who have extreme individualistic attitudes and values are often considered to be hypercompetitive and use disciplinary practices that embed hypercompetitive attitudes in the children (Ryckman et al., 1997). Some of these practices can cause the children to feel powerless, insignificant, and mistrustful, thus causing them to feel this competitive attitude in many aspects of life (Ryckman et al., 1997). To overcome these feelings these individuals harden themselves by gaining a negative attitude towards others. They do this through adopting power, a sense of superiority and by a need for revenge and triumph (Ryckman et al., 1997).

Parents who have a positive attitude towards others and about competitive atmospheres usually instil these positive attitudes on to their children (Ryckman et al., 1997). If the individual is given support, encouragement and democratic treatment from their parents then they are able to reach their potential (Ryckman et al., 1997). These individuals then focus on their self growth and use this as their motivation to succeed in competition and regard others as being an aide to achieving these goals rather than a hindrance (Ryckman et al., 1997).

Society can impact on these child rearing practices by encouraging practices that focus on the learning of personal development competitive attitudes (Collier et al., 2010). These practices would allow for a more constructive approach to the achievement of goals and establishes a framework based on harmony, respect and personal growth rather than on hypercompetitive attitudes (Collier et al., 2010).

Conclusion
Competition occurs everyday in all facets of life. Regardless of your age, gender, race or socio economic status you are subject to competition. Being overly competitive can have a negative impact on your intrinsic motivation and may cause you to dislike activities that were once enjoyable. Being overly competitive may also have impact your external motivation and allow you to receive praise and accolades. Being competitive does not have to be a bad thing. A little competition can be healthy but what you need to do is find the right balance and don't judge people on their competitiveness but rather their performance and good qualities.

Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/Ruy Pugliesi

Hi everyone!

I am applying for probationary custodianship on enwikiversity. My contributions mainly focus on countervandalism work over here.

I am already experienced with administrative tools on Meta-Wiki (where I am mostly active) and on other content and non-content projects, like ptwiki, hiwiki, mediawiki, testwiki and strategywiki. I'm also a global rollbacker.

If I may, I would like to have SB Johhny as a mentor. =D

Regards, Ruy Pugliesi ◥ 13:35, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Questions

 * In what ways do you consider your administrative experience at Meta-Wiki to benefit participants at Wikiversity?
 * As a cross-wiki vandal/spam fighter and a sysop on several projects, I think I have enough administrative experience for dealing with vandals and other maintenance activities. I have learned from my experience as a SWMT member how to establish a appropriate course of action in a great variety of situations. Ruy Pugliesi ◥ 15:44, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

 * What do you consider appropriate actions for vandalism at Wikiversity?
 * First of all, we should leave the vandal a warning message and let him aware of to what policies he is not following. Otherwise, further violations may incur a block. Ruy Pugliesi ◥ 15:44, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

-- dark lama  13:50, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Would you mind starting a blog? If not, why? What do you think about tasks for custodians as mentioned here?
 * Seems to be interesting. However, I think I wouldn't have enough time to concentrate my efforts in such kind of activity due to my cross-wiki work over all Wikimedia projects. Ruy Pugliesi ◥ 13:39, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Which learning project/resource do you like at Wikiversity?
 * Mainly Computer Science, Communication Technologies and Linguistics. Ruy Pugliesi ◥ 13:39, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Which one do you want to improve with your contributions?
 * Possibly Linguistics and Computer Science. However, as I said above, my contributions mainly focus on countervandalism work and other administrative tasks. Thanks for your questions. Ruy Pugliesi ◥ 13:39, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat + Identi.ca 14:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

-- dark lama  14:31, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * How do you redirect a vandal's energy and enthusiasm?
 * How do you transform a vandal into someone that creates and participates in courses?
 * Do you think volunteering to be a mentor for vandals would be a good use of your time?
 * Answers (1, 2 and 3):
 * Redirecting a vandal's energy and enthusiasm is something hard to do, but it's not impossible at all. Sometimes, vandals represent the "dark side" of good faith editors who became disappointed with things that occured a long time ago. I venture say that "mentoring" may be the key word here. We can always show them how interesting a wiki can be by bringing up unexplored things to do in a project.
 * Can I think of volunteering to be a mentor for vandals? Maybe. I am already experienced with mentoring a reformed vandal/sockpuppeter on Portuguese Wikipedia. He actually did some positive contributions after my mentorship. I think that everybody should be given a second chance to become a positive contributor and edit freely. Thanks for your questions.  Ruy Pugliesi ◥ 13:39, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Custodians willing to mentor
Given his experience (especially as part of strategywiki), and Draicone's recommendation, I'd be more than happy to mentor. --SB_Johnny talk 07:56, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Probationary custodian period started
✅ -- Jtneill - Talk - c 02:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Recommendation for full custodian status
Ruy may have set a record for longest probationary custodianship. His mentor was SB Johnny, who intended in November 2011 to make the recommendation, but it didn't happen. In September 2013, Jtneill asked if Ruy was still interested.. Ruy missed the question, so nothing happened. Seeing the open candidacy, I checked with Ruy, and he was still interested, so I also checked with SB Johnny. He responded that he "should have time in the next few days." Apparently not, so I'm going ahead. This is now my recommendation, but I assume that SB Johnny will approve.

Ruy has not been highly active on Wikiversity. He was almost inactive in 2014, but at the beginning of this year, started using tools more extensively. He is an expert Wikimedian, and was recently elected as a steward. Best of all, he has apparently grasped some of the Wikiversity community's traditions, that make this place special, with low conflict. His having the tools has never been a problem. I disagreed with a speedy deletion of his recently, and requested he undo it, and instead move the page into user space, and he immediately did that. (The deletion was within reasonable discretion, and it is only that we have better ways, sometimes.) I have no hesitation in recommending Ruy for permanent custodian. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 00:25, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Discussion and questions
Questions to and discussion of the candidate.

I have no doubt from the votes so far that he should be elected, but I have no idea of how I should vote. Most of his work here was before my time. I could look into his activities elsewhere and make an "informed" decision. But with such obvious support that seems like a waste of my valuable time. Not voting signals apathy, voting "neutral" signals doubt, and voting "yes" signals knowledge that I do not possess. One of these choices probably follows convention, but I don't know which one it is. If there is no convention, I think the proper thing to do is vote neutral and explain why.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 00:15, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Guy, your choice is reasonable; however, you might also consider this part of your education as a probationary custodian. You may, as a custodian, need to make assessments of users. You can see his actions in the logs, as well as contributions (linked above at the top). The most important logs would probably be the block log and the deletion log. As well, you may look at his User talk page and see how he handled questions or issues. The thing I would worry about the most in a custodian is someone who has a strong personal agenda different from the welfare and consensus of the community. It's always possible the rest of us missed something. If you decide to look, tell us what you find! Most of Ruy's activity is global, and you can look there as well. Thanks. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 00:28, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can, should and will do these things.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 06:00, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

I disagree when you say that we shouldn't use the 11.1 volt rechargeable battery. We understand the dangers of it now, and we just have to pay attention if we are handling it. And it is pretty much perfect to power the two bottom fans. I do not believe that it that dangerous. The same way that a knife is not dangerous as long as it is handled correctly. But I do agree that we should use the power generator to just get everything working before we try to go back to remote control. Drew_Dollas 04:36, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

1000 Songs/A Mighty Fortress Is Our God (Martin Luther)

A mighty fortress is our God (Martin Luther)

1000 Songs

Text
Original German Text

Ein’ feste Burg ist unser Gott,

Ein gute Wehr und Waffen;

Er hilft uns frei aus aller Not,

Die uns jetzt hat betroffen.

Der alt’ böse Feind,

Mit Ernst er’s jetzt meint,

Gross’ Macht und viel List

Sein’ grausam’ Ruestung ist,

Auf Erd’ ist nicht seingleichen.

Mit unsrer Macht is nichts getan,

Wir sind gar bald verloren;

Es steit’t für uns der rechte Mann,

Den Gott hat selbst erkoren.

Fragst du, wer der ist?

Er heisst Jesu Christ,

Der Herr Zebaoth,

Und ist kein andrer Gott,

Das Feld muss er behalten.

Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär’

Und wollt’ uns gar verschlingen,

So fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr,

Es soll uns doch gelingen.

Der Fürst dieser Welt,

Wie sau’r er sich stellt,

Tut er uns doch nicht,

Das macht, er ist gericht’t,

Ein Wörtlein kann ihn fällen.

Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn

Und kein’n Dank dazu haben;

Er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan

Mit seinem Geist und Gaben.

Nehmen sie den Leib,

Gut, Ehr’, Kind und Weib:

Lass fahren dahin,

Sie haben’s kein’n Gewinn,

Das Reich muss uns doch bleiben.

Author
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God was written by Martin Luther between 1527 and 1529, and is a metrical setting of Psalm 46.

Translations/Challenges
The translation that is almost exclusively sung in Protestant churches today is A Mighty Fortress Is Our God written by Frederic Henry Hedge. It is very literal, but has a perfect metrical fit with the tune.

A Safe Stronghold Our God Is Still written by Thomas Carlyle is very similar to A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, but is, perhaps, even more literal. The rhyme scheme is nearly identical to A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, and it is iambic as well.

Also Elizabeth Wordsworth wrote God Is a Stronghold and a Tower.

Each of these translations were written over 100 years ago, and thus all contain antiquated English. In the case of A Mighty Fortress Is Our God the old English is so well established that to change it would seem disrespectful to many older church members.

Editor's Choice
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God is by far the most used and established of these translations. It also best fits the melody, and metrical pattern.

Tune
The original Luther melody is very rythmic, and almost bouncy in feel.

There has been some debate about the authorship of the famous isometric melody that is often been associated with A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, but it is believed to have also been composed by Luther.

Arrangements
Johann Sebastian Bach utilized Luther's hymn in his chorale cantata Ein fests Burg ist unser Gott, BWV 80. He also used the tune in some of his other works.

Editor's Choice
Out of the depths I cry to Thee

O Lord, now hear me calling

Incline Your ear to my distress

In spite of my rebelling

Do not regard my sinful deeds

Send me the grace my spirit needs

Without it I am nothing

Thou grantest pardon through Thy love

Thy grace alone availeth

Our works could ne’er our guilt remove

Yea, e’en the best life faileth

For none may boast himself of aught

But must confess Thy grace hath wrought

Whate’er in him is worthy

It is in God that we shall hope

And not in our own merit

I rest upon His faithful Word

To them of guilty spirit

That He is merciful and just

Here is my comfort and my trust

His help I wait with patience

Tune
The tune to this hymn is called Aus Tiefer Not.

Arrangements
There are two arrangements of this hymn that differ slightly. This one is from the "Hymanl 1982: according to the Episcopal Church." This one is from the "Lutheran Service Book."

1000 Songs/Wake awake for night is flying (Philipp Nicolai)

Wake awake for night is flying (Philipp Nicolai)

1000 Songs

Text
The Hymn "Wake awake for night is flying" is a text that relates to the second coming of Christ, Jerusalem taken to heaven by the Bridegroom (Christ), and rejoicing and singing around the throne of God with the angels. In the first verse of the hymn, there is distinct imagery used from the gospel of Matthew 25:1-13, which is the parable of the ten virgins. In verse two, there are a few descriptions of Jesus such as: Star, Light, Blessed One, God's Beloved Son. And in Verse three, there is even more great use of Biblical word use: "nor eye has seen, nor ear has heard"-1 Corinthians 2:9, "angels round"-Revelation 5:11, "Watchmen on a city hill" -Isaiah 52:8

Translations/Challenges
Catherine Winkworth translated the text from German into English in 1858.

Music
Johann S. Bach

Background
The story behind this hymn is surrounded with sorrow and death. Unna, Germany, 1598, marked the horrible time of the plague that wiped out around 1300 in Phillip Nicolai's community. The point of this hymn was to give hope to those afflicted by suffering that the bridegroom Jesus Christ will return. This should be viewed by Christ followers as joyous anticipation rather than a dreaded and feared day of doom. This joy is the light that Nicolai was trying to shed in a winter where he held up to thirty funerals a day.

Author biography
Son of a Lutheran pastor, Phillip Nicolai was born in Germany in 1556. He studied at Erfert and Wittenburg where he became a pastor himself. Nicolai is known to be history's greatest chorale writers.

"Wachet auf," ruft uns die Stimme Der Wächter sehr hoch auf der Zinne, "Wach auf du Stadt Jerusalem! Mitternacht heißt diese Stunde!" Sie rufen uns mit hellem Munde: "Wo seid ihr klugen Jungfrauen? Wohlauf, der Bräutigam kommt, Steht auf, die Lampen nehmt! Halleluja! Macht euch bereit zur Hochzeitsfreud; Ihr müsset ihm entgegengehen!" Zion hört die Wächter singen, Das Herz tut ihr vor Freuden springen, Sie wachet und steht eilend auf. Ihr Freund kommt vom Himmel prächtig, Von Gnaden stark, von Wahrheit mächtig; Ihr Licht wird hell, ihr Stern geht auf. Nun komm, du werte Kron, Herr Jesu, Gottes Sohn! Hosianna! Wir folgen all zum Freudensaal Und halten mit das Abendmahl. Gloria sei dir gesungen Mit Menschen- und mit Engelzungen, Mit Harfen und mit Zimbeln schön. Von zwölf Perlen sind die Tore An deiner Stadt, wir stehn im Chore Der Engel hoch um deinen Thron. Kein Aug hat je gespürt, Kein Ohr hat mehr gehört Solche Freude. Des jauchzen wir und singen dir Das Halleluja für und für.

Text
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks:

Dum nocte pastores suum custodiunt pecus, circumfulgente gloria descendit angelus. "Ne timeatis!" inquit is (nam sunt perterriti) "Magnum proclamo gaudium vobis et generi. In urbe David hodie de David stripe fit Salvator Christus nomine; et signum hoc erit: infantem ibi quaerite in visu hominum, vestitum valde viliter, praesepi creditum." Sic ille; cuius comites nitere visi sunt, Deum magnificans cohors, qui sic cecinerunt: "Nunc fiat pax hominibus et Deo gloria, et caritas inter duos esto perpetua."

While shepherds watched their flocks by night, all seated on the ground, the angel of the Lord came down, and glory shone around. "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread had seized their troubled mind; "Glad tidings of great joy I bring to you and all mankind. "To you, in David's town, this day is born of David's line a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord; and this shall be the sign: "The heavenly Babe you there shall find to human view displayed, all meanly wrapped in swathing bands, and in a manger laid." Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith appeared a shining throng of angels praising God, who thus addressed their joyful song: "All glory be to God on high and on the earth be peace; good will henceforth from heaven to men begin and never cease."

8th Tune: All Praise to Thee, My God, This Night All praise to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light! Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thine own almighty wings. Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done, That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die, that so I may Rise glorious at the judgment day. O may my soul on Thee repose, And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close, Sleep that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake. When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. O when shall I, in endless day, For ever chase dark sleep away, And hymns divine with angels sing, All praise to thee, eternal King? Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Editor's Choice
Listen to the tune here.

Author biography
Johann Jacob Schütz was the son of a German lawyer which influenced him to want to study law himself. Schütz grew up in a Lutheran congregation, pastored by Philip Spener.

Author's circumstances
Philip Spener became well known for promoting a revival in the Lutheran church as he noticed it begin to lack the piety that it once had. Schütz, being a part of his congregation, was strongly influenced by the ideas of Spener and held close to the ideas of piety and discipleship as a means of spiritual growth. In surveying the text of “Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above”, the pietistic influence is apparent. The text includes a declaration of the unceasing presence and reigning power of God, even during times of trials, persecution, and suffering.

Historical setting
Historically, the text of this hymn was written well after the onset of the protestant reformation. One of the key ideals that arose out of the reformation was the increased use of scripture for spiritual truth. Martin Luther worked hard to make the bible available to the common people of Germany, so that people could read and understand the scripture for themselves, rather than always looking to the Pope for answers. It is common to see hymn texts from this period to be scripturally sound.

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation! All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near; Praise Him in glad adoration. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth, Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth! Hast thou not seen how thy desires e’er have been Granted in what He ordaineth? Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee; Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee; Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, If with His love He befriend thee. Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging, Who, when the elements madly around thee are raging, Biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace, Whirlwinds and waters assuaging. Praise to the Lord, who, when darkness of sin is abounding, Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding, Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night, Saints with His mercy surrounding. Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him; Let the Amen sound from His people again, Gladly for aye we adore Him.

Benjamin Schmolck, 1704. He was quite well known throughout Germany. Schmolck’s hymns and spiritual songs numbered 1,183 in all. He and Bach were both ardent members of the Lutheran church and some of Bach's work made Schmolck's more memorable.

Translations/Challenges
Translated from German by: Jane Borthwick, 1854. Originally Titled: "Mein Jesu, wie du willt". There is also a slightly updated version on a catholic-based webpage here.

Editor's Choice
I would definitely use this song today, but I would definitely recommend updating some of the more dated language.

Tune
This page is set to the tune JEWETT. This link plays an example of the tune DENBY.

Composer: Charles J. Dale, 1904. Set to the tune: "DENBY." There is not much information on Charles Dale, but he is the most well known for the tune DENBY, which has also been used for several other songs. It first appeared in the Lutheran Hymnal. Also set to: JEWETT, from the opera Der Freischütz, by Carl M. von Weber, 1821; arranged by Hubert P. Main. (Midi)

Editor's Choice
Personally, I prefer DENBY. However, it is a bit more solemn and magnanimous, so I would probably actually use JEWETT because I think that it matches the message of the text a little better.

Author biography
His father was a minister and then sent him to theological school, where he began to write poetry and songs, eventually at least 1,183.

Author's circumstances
After writing this song, Benjamin Schmolck lost two children in a fire and he himself was paralyzed, blind, and an invalid. Yet this song demonstrates his submission to God's sovereignty.

Cultural setting
Hymn #420 from The Lutheran Hymnal

Author
"Jesus thy blood and righteousness" was written by Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf und Pottendorf, a reformer of social and religious issues in 18th century Germany, as well as a bishop of the Moravian church. A four part documentary of Zinzendorf's life called "Count Zinzendorf" was produced in 2000.

Translations/Challenges
Zinzendorf's good friend John Wesley translated this hymn into English. Here is the translation with the original (and rarely sung) nine stanzas. This is the most widely accepted and used translation.

Music
The popular music for this hymn was written by William Gardiner. Here is a recording.

Author
Paul Gerhardt wrote the text, which can be found here.

Translations/Challenges
Catherine Winkworth's translation can be found here. Also, a fuller selection of the lyrics can be found [http://www.smallchurchmusic3.com/Lyrics/D02/S02020.php here. ]

Editor's Choice
I prefer Winkworth's simplistic translation that takes out most of the verses for the easy of a congregation.

Tune
The most well known version was written by Johann G. Ebeling, who was known for writing tunes for over 100 of Gerhardt's poems and songs. It can be found here.

Arrangements
The sheet music for Ebeling's arrangement in the key of G can be found [http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/All_My_Heart_This_Night_Rejoices/ here. ]

Editor's Choice
I prefer Ebeling's tune, as it has a very major feel and was written directly with Gerhardt.

Author biography
Gerhardt's full biography can be found here.
