rebellion against God.
Lesson 9: Factors that affect person’s decision and action -Essential Understanding:
When a person is in confusion, it’s better for him or her to postpone the decision in order to
give time to think and decide for the matter.

VI. Learning Objectives: at the end of this topic the student would be able to;
a. Understand the human being was created in God’s image.
VII. Learning Experiences:

A. Engage:
Let us memorize
Galatians 5:22-23 (New International Version)
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

B.Explore:

Decisions are part of our everyday life ranging from what to eat for dinner to how to respond to
someone’s snide comment. We all face choices—big and small—everyday. So, how do you decide?
What drives you to choose one option over another?

When you make a big decision, you most likely weigh pros and cons or visualize the effects of each
choice. On the other hand, when you make smaller, last-minute decisions, you might rely more on a
hunch or gut feeling to guide you. The decision might be so small that you don’t even realize you’re
making a choice. Regardless, something affects your decision.

C.Explain:
7 Self-Driven Factors
Rawhide’s Starr Academy added a new topic, Bullying, to the Life Skills course. Sponsored by
Life Promotions, a local organization that instills hope in youth to pave the way for a better future, this
course taught how to resist and stand up against bullying. The instructor, Anna, facilitated a discussion

one day about 7 factors that affect our everyday decisions—even a bully’s decision to bully. She called
them the 7 Ps.

1. Physical appearance – Will this make me look good?

2. Performance – Will I do well?
3. Possessions – Will I keep what I have or gain more?
4. Popularity – Will I keep my friends or make new friends?
5. Pleasure – Will this make me feel good?
6. Power – Will I keep control or get more?
7. Prestige – Will people still respect me?

Which is Most Important?

Which of these is most important to you? Stop and think for a moment—which factor affects
your decisions the most?
Some answers, might include an assortment of the 7 Ps, some might made an interesting
observation. “The more certain you are that these 7 factors will not impact that decision, the easier
your decision will be.” At least that’s what it seems like, right? In today’s society, basing a decision on
these factors seems to make you happier and your life easier. But we know from experience that any
happiness and ease derived from these motivating factors is usually fleeting (lasting for a very short
time).

Good or Bad?
If you notice, all the questions in the 7 Ps list are self-focused. How will this decision affect me?
As the classroom conversation continued, the guys began to realize the danger of the 7 Ps. They noticed
that making a decision based on these 7 factors often leads to negative results. For example, in order to
maintain popularity or gain power, you might choose to put down or bully someone else.
can the 7 Ps be good?
Some may answer, with the right priorities, they can be good. Another is when you forget about the
important things in life—that’s when they can be bad.

8 Spirit-Driven Factors
How about a different set of decision-making factors altogether especially when it pertains to
how we treat others? Here is list that is more others-focused and less self-focused. We called them
Fruits of the Spirit:

1. Love – Will I show love to others?

2. Joy – Will I be joyful?
3. Peace – Will I keep peace with others?
4. Patience – Will I be patient with others?
5. Kindness – Will I be kind to others?
6. Goodness – Will I be good to others?
7. Gentleness – Will I be gentle to others?

8. Self-Control – Will I have self-control?

These factors encourage us to consider how our decisions affect others, and can lead to positive
personal results as well. Although our human tendency is to focus on the immediate results of the 7 Ps,
the 8 fruits of the Spirit bring lasting comfort.

D. Elaborate:
Every day, people are inundated with decisions, big and small. Understanding how people arrive at
their choices is an area of cognitive psychology that has received attention. Theories have been
generated to explain how people make decisions, and what types of factors influence decision making in
the present and future. In addition, heuristics have been researched to understand the decision-making
process.

Several factors influence decision making. These factors, including past experience (Juliusson,
Karlsson, & Gӓ rling, 2005), cognitive biases (Stanovich & West, 2008), age and individual differences
(Bruin, Parker, & Fischoff, 2007), belief in personal relevance (Acevedo, & Krueger, 2004), and an
escalation of commitment, influence what choices people make. Understanding the factors that influence
decision making process is important to understanding what decisions are made. That is, the factors that
influence the process may impact the outcomes.
