Reframing risk within the university as a conversation about learning, opportunity, and cognitive processing is recommended, since learning and teaching are essential elements of universities. Risk is typically regarded at the institutional and student levels as something negative to avoid. Drawing on approach/inhibition theory and sensation seeking literature, the authors form a picture of how risk perception interacts with other factors to influence students' completion of learning abroad. Using binary logistic regression analysis, findings suggest that students' perceived risk is negatively correlated with their likelihood of completing a learning abroad experience. The authors build on findings in a 2016 publication by Behrisch in this journal to focus on the correlation of perceived risk with students' completion of a learning abroad experience. Universities around the world seek to increase their students' learning abroad in forms like international coop and exchange.
THE POWER OF OPTIMISM DRIVER
Our results suggest that other possible mechanisms need to be explored to determine the driver behind the actions of the powerful. The findings of this paper are highly relevant to people seeking to explain the link between power and unethical behavior, where increased attention to rewards is thought to play a role. Our main results are complemented with Bayesian analyses and a meta-analysis across studies. Through seven studies that used a multitude of paradigms and methods (i.e., self-report, concept activation, mouse-tracking, and electroencephalography), our results provide little support for the hypothesis that psychological power increases attention to rewards. This paper thus examined directly whether power increases individuals' attention to rewards while removing/dissociating rewards from possible alternative goals. Moreover, the studies that investigated the effects of power on behavior related to rewards did not dissociate rewards from possible alternative goals. I thought I could’.The experience of power has been theorized to increase attention to rewards, but is that really the case? Although this is a widespread assumption, no study has directly investigated the effects of power on attention to rewards. Her optimism fuels her to the top mountain.Įventually, with great effort, the Little Blue Engine makes it to the top of the mountain and delivers the load to the children of the village: “ And the Little Blue Engine smiled and seemed to say as she puffed steadily down the mountain, ‘I thought I could.
THE POWER OF OPTIMISM FULL
Her optimism is on full display as she is hopeful in her ability to innovate and improve. Her empathy led her to action. I love how they came out and am hopeful that they can still improve! I did come across some difficulties (like how the little hoops were really small and would often slip out of my hands and get lost before I could solder them) but the good thing is that I was able to find solutions!”
I think I can.”Īs Victoria started on her project with her new materials and faced challenges, she said: “I began to work on the glasses this weekend and have built a prototype. Having the optimism and courage to start is one thing, but what about during the process when the mountain is the steepest? As The Little Blue Engine struggles to pull the heavy load up the mountain, she repeats to herself, “ I think I can. She applied for and joined our VentureLab Spark Mentoring Program, which offered her materials to start on her business idea! Even though she had never done something like this before, she decided to try. Her idea is to remove the stigma around wearing glasses by making them cool and meaningful by adding charms, similar to a charm bracelet. She noticed some of her friends would choose not to wear their glasses during class because they didn’t feel confident in the way they looked while wearing them. At VentureLab, that is how we define optimism. Without having 100% certainty of success, she is confident and hopeful in her ability to innovate and her potential for making an impact. This is what makes an entrepreneur different from the rest of the world. In the face of uncertainty and the unknown, she tries. Even though she had never done something, she decided to try.
