The length of this assignment should be 6 or more pages plus Title and reference page.

6 or more sources that are scholarly and illustrate a high degree of research and technical expertise.

Select an individual who is struggling with anxiety, stress, maybe feelings of low self-worth or self-efficacy. Refer back to the screencast of the achievement motivation information. We’re going to apply the first portion of that screencast to this assignment.

That means, here, you’re asked again, with this individual struggling, to explain the why of that selection;

Why is that individual choosing to participate in this activity? That’s really important, students, because it really makes a very, very big difference if that individual is there because others are requiring them to be there or if they are choosing to participate in this activity by their own free will or their own interest.

First, you have to apply some thought to that and come up with an answer as to why that individual is there. You’ll then look at the tensional needs, the focus challenges, perhaps, the sense of intrinsic motivation versus extrinsic motivation which ties back into why the individual is in this activity.

You will look at the self-worth, self-efficacy. Finally, you’ll make recommendations on how or what kind of strategy is best to help the individual deal with the anxiety, stress, or perhaps, the heightened sense of arousal at inappropriate times for learning or performance.

After carefully reviewing the Achievement Motivation information, create a comprehensive plan for an individual that is struggling with anxiety and stress, lacks self-esteem, and generally has low performance expectations.

Provide an explanation and recommendations for the following components of this model and use these bullets as headings:

• The why of selection, Aspirations
• Attentional Needs and focus
• Intrinsic vs Extrinsic Motivation
• Self-worth, Self-efficacy
• Anxiety, Stress, Arousal
