I have chosen to write about Bandura’s theory of Self Efficacy, which was developed by Albert Bandura in 1977. The theory of Self-Efficacy is one of many concepts involved in Bandura’s Social-Cognitive theory therefore, Self-Efficacy draws from both the Social and Cognitive approaches. The theory of Self Efficacy is not how an individual perceives their ability, but how an individual develops perceptions of their ability to initiate, and complete behaviours, or actions. It can be reliant on the…

The process of decoding the myth-oriented text of Yayati gives back an image of the cultural signs and the psychological conflict between Yayati and Devayani, on the one hand, and Yayati and Chitralekha, on the other. The cultural tension and the psychogenic traits of human personality make it mandatory to analyse the contents of the myth even beyond the impossible range of human relationships, for the myth in its analysis of the native glosses and the myth in its psychological analysis bring…

A start without a beginning, more specifically a character known as Mr. Heathcliff from the novel Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff being this mysterious entity that comes from nowhere and seems to be different from every other character present in the story. Leaving an audience in a purgatory state when deciding what this character truly is and how he became such a significant part of the plot. This narrative gap as described by Abbott is a hole within the novel that the other characters are trying…

Niels Henrick David Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on 1885. In 1911 he received his Ph.D. from Copenhagen University. Later on he moved to England to study under J.J. Thomson in Cambridge and under Ernest Rutherford in Manchester. In 1913 he published his model of the atom, which was based on Rutherford’s planetary model. After his publication of his model he received worldwide fame. Unfortunately, Bohr’s model worked only for hydrogen atoms. Which made the final atomic model yet to be…

De Broglie’s Hypothesis After Einstein put forth his photoelectric effect, people wondered what about the instances where light behaved as a wave? In 1923, the French physicist Louis de Broglie made an assertion. His Consideration of Einstein's equation of wavelength lambda to momentum p, de Broglie said that the relationship determines the wavelength, in the relationship: λ = h / p Where h is the Planck's constant This wavelength λ is called the de Broglie wavelength.…

CHAPTER 1 PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND This chapter includes the introduction, theoretical framework, conceptual framework, statement of the problem, hypothesis, scope and limitation, significance of the study and the definition of terms used. Introduction Theoretical Framework This study is anchored from the concept of Social Cognitive Theory, presented by Bandura (1977) in which the idea of self-efficacy plays a central role in facing the changes caused by fearful situations and Self-…

In the very first line of the novel elevates the absurdist concept, " My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know. I received a telegram from the old people's home: 'Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Very sincerely yours.' That doesn't mean anything. It might have been yesterday '' This is not a normal reaction of a son to the news of his mother’s death. In the very first lines we find Mesusault’s strangeness to the normal feelings and emotions. Camus has portrayed a distance…

Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax offers an animated analogy of how man’s actions have recursive actions towards the ecological balance of nature. The film largely emphasises on the artificiality of nature within Thneedville. While its citizens seem unfazed by the lack of natural resources, it is apparent that Dr. Seuss is portraying their oblivion towards the scarcity of nature itself. However, though the lack of natural resources may result in a polluted or contaminated environment, the clean outlook of…

1.2 Yalom’s model of existential psychotherapy Yalom believed life has arisen from random events, we are finite and we are responsible for our own destiny (Yalom, 2008), and he identified “four ultimate concerns” as the key to all human existence; death, freedom, isolation and meaningless, and stated, “The individual’s confrontation with these facts of life constitutes the content of the existential dynamic conflict” (Yalom, 1980 p. 8). Death is the central part of Yalom’s philosophy, as we are…
