Now, Irina is addicted to smoking, and drinking ca utilise by vicarious reinforcement and t hose were her Indian friends at college, who she does not socialize with now.

Time pass and her relationship with her husband started establishing, but one twenty-four hour period she was observed by her husband in the house with her friend. The husband automatically misunderstood and misjudged Irina, as he even wanted to suicide afterwards. After the incident, the husband had been admitted into the mental hospital for attempting to suicide.After a month, she got back with the husband, and as a result of her husband negative behavior and attitude toward the friendship with a man, she learned to avoid the possibility of a punishing consequence ( avoidance training), by not making a friendship with a man.

She mentioned that her attention is fully active magic spell studying in a the library, which is a quiet place, but where there is a distraction, her attention drops to a lower level, as she does not remembers the material studied. Irina remembers information more accurately without any distraction that unable the information to be stored in the long term memory after rehearsed and stored by t he short term memory (University of Phoenix, 2010).One thing she mentioned that she does forget some information because of proactive interference. Definitely, information link to her market-gardening, tradition, and religion will be remembered for life (Irina Dinova, personal communication, November 30, 2012). 3. Are you uncoerced to take the Myers Briggs test and report the results? If so, do you think the results are accurate? Why or why not? Irina had taken the Myers Briggs test, and her results were ESTJ (Extroverted, Sensing.Thinking, Judging), and it stated that she is really responsible and pillar of strength (University of Phoenix, 2010). Irina agreed to the results of the test and she said that she had used logic, or compensatory model to make a decision on the consequence that best describe her personality. Furthermore, she found the test reliable, stable and valid, and these are her back up time taking it, as she took the test before in 2010 with the equal results . Besides, she is always been described that way by her family and friends (Irina Dinova, personal communication, November 30, 2012). . What are the experiences do you think had contributed most in the growth of your personality? Irina thinks that personal unconscious(p) of negative and dogmatic life experiences, collective unconscious from diversity, and unconditional positive regard (University of Phoenix, 2010), by the husband had contributed the most in the growth of her personality. She alike believe that her own believe of principles, and been a natural leader had contributed to the development of her personality as well.Additionally, Irina personality grew through socializing with group of people, rough-cut life experiences, involvement on her husbands tillage, and life responsibilities, like her two children and husband (Irina Dinova, personal communication, November 30, 2012). 5. Do you feel that you are self-monitoring in regards of your attitude? Irina mentioned th at she has low-self-monitors in regard (University of Phoenix, 2010) of her attitude. She said that she display sensitive controls congruent with her own internal states such as attitudes, beliefs, and dispositions.She fails to control her negative attitude, and she has to move in that particular moment or it will be rattling disturbance for a season (Irina Dinova, personal communication, November 30, 2012). 6. What do you feel was the strongest incline on your attitude? The strongest influence on Irinas attitude will be her parents. Irina blames her parents for her negative attitude because she was mentally and physically abused while she was a child, but she refuses to abuse her children.I have to agree with Irina, when she said that punishment is a better way to rise up your children, not abuse. another(prenominal) strongest influence of her positive attitude will be her husband. She mentioned that her husband kindness, caress, and grace had incite her to change her life fo r better, by focusing more on her family, and peruse an education, by obtaining a career on arts (Irina Dinova, personal communication, November 30, 2012). 7. What role do you think of a persons race, gender, or ethnicity play when performing that persons personality and attitudes?Irina believes that a persons race, gender, or ethnicity play a role in forming persons personality and attitude. She said that she had never experienced prejudice and variety until she had immigrated to the Unites States. She said that she was prejudiced and discriminated (University of Phoenix, 2010). at school, by a group of African Americans, and they called her names like Russian girl and say unpleasant haggle to her e. g we are not in Russia, go back to Russia, or speak English.Additionally, she was stereotype by her husband, as he said to her that her duties, as a married woman is to clean, cook, and raise the children, but she did not respect that opinion because in the U. S. culture a woman can work and be involved in business. Thus, she believes that a persons personality and attitude solely depend on the culture, norms. Irinas culture differs from her husband, as they are both from different countries. Irinas husband is Algerian and has its own culture norm, values, and believe, which differ from Irina.For instance in Irinas husband culture a woman is prohibited to drink alcohol, or smoke, while in Irinas culture is verse versa. As a result, umpteen negative attitudes formed, in both Irina and her husband, caused by culture conflicts. Another culture conflict between Irina and her husband was circumcising her baby boy. In Irinas culture, they do not circumcise, while in her husbands culture, they circumcise the child after he turns four years old, which will be a big party celebration.Irina had refused to make her husbands wish come true, which had formed a negative attitude from the situation in both Irina and her husband. She said that her husband still insisting and he will not let it go because it was something he was looking forward too, but Irina does not believe in circumcising, as she said that she will never allow it (Irina Dinova, personal communication, November 30, 2012). 8. Do you find yourself better at tasks when intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated? Irina said that she is definitely motivated extrinsically (University of Phoenix, 2010) better in most cases.However, she can also work on proprieties tasks without been extrinsically motivated. Conversely, in Irinas words vernal things get old fast, Im always searching for new motivations and thinking of new ways to accomplish my tasks. (Personal communication, 11/30/2012). She also said that she hates her job, but she extrinsically motivated because of the money that will be earned. Irina referred to when she was six years old, her parents used rewards, when she obtains an A at school, but she gets punished when she obtains a lower grade.She said that the rewards and punishment had motivated her to always seek an A grade at school, and nothing less (Irina Dinova, personal communication, November 30, 2012). In conclusion, I have to say that the interview with Irina has been such a wonderful experience. It had helped me to study and learn others behavior causes like personality and attitude, by implementing information learned throughout the course materials. Irina was very patient, comfortable, open, and honest during the interview process. Therefore, I am convinced that all her answers were accurate.References University of Phoenix. (2010).
