PSY 355 Week 4 Discussion Question 1 FOR MORE
CLASSES VISIT www.psy355rank.com 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.

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
