One common problem of motivation is procrastination, or putting

offuntil the very last moment doing what is necessary to attain
onesgoals, which is discussed briefly in chapters seven and 10 of
thecourse text. According to Clayton Taylor-Ladd (1996-2007), the
twobasic types of procrastinators are:
The relaxed type places littleimportance on the goal, so leaves it to
be done until there is nothingbetter to do in an effort to not get
stressed over the "insignificant,"but rather doing what brings more
enjoyment to him/her. Ironically,the great dichotomy in life eventually
wins out and the stress therelaxed type is trying to avoid materializes
in spades.
The tense-afraid type feels, overwhelmed bypressures, unrealistic
about time, uncertain about goals, dissatisfiedwith accomplishments,
indecisive, blaming others or circumstances forhis/her failures, lacking
in self-confidence and, sometimes isperfectionistic, ( 2)

Part 1 1 - When you smile in greeting a friend, it is because you are

happy to see him/her, or is it simply a greeting without any feeling? 2 What governs your facial expressions? Is it your felt emotions, your
social motives, the person you are with, or display rules in general?
According to the appraisal tendency hypothesis, emotions can
influence a person's judgments and decisions. Has this ever happened
to you? Have you made judgments, decisions, or commitments during
an intense emotion that you would not have made in the absence of
the emotion? When is it best to make a judgment or decision: in the
presence or absence of an emotional feeling? Why? Part 2 According to
the behavioral ecology hypothesis, facial expressions are used to
influence other individuals to help satisfy our social motives.
