The Research Specialist= Nicole Banistean
Overview of Environment• Definition: The surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant
lives or operates.• Rating of Control: 1.5: You can somewhat control the cleanliness of your home,
but especially as a teen, you cannot change where you live and the climate/other conditions there. You have a lot more control over your social life, but looking at the big picture, you can really only interact with the people in your environment, of whom you cannot explicitly 'choose.'
• Selling Point: Your peers and family have the heaviest influence on your personality as you grow and likewise your decision making. 'Friends' who are drawn to drug use or dangerous sports/'adventures' will press their ideas of fun on each other. Association with athletic or studious individuals nearly always makes for a healthier lifestyle. Regarding location, living in cities or other polluted areas can be detrimental to your physical health, while living in areas of high elevation or near the sea can strengthen/cleanse your lungs and sinuses, etc.
Research of Influence of EnvironmentExample: Stress at work• Stat: The 2002 Aventis Healthcare Survey in Canada finds fifty-one percent of
employees experiencing much stress at work, with twenty-five percent of them falling physically ill due to workplace stress.

rates in a metro area are substantially smaller and are decreasing at a higher rate when compared to a non-metro area.

Example:• Stat: Inadequate, unhealthy, crowded, or too-costly housing can pose serious problems
for children's physical, psychological, and material well-being. In 2009, 45 percent of U.S. households with children had physically inadequate housing, crowded housing, and/or a housing cost burden of more than 30 percent of household income.

Attitude
Our GroupTech Hater= Dan O’MalleyThe Psychologist= Sam Lee
The Tech Guru= Raman MathurThe Research Specialist= Jessica Park
Overview of Attitude
• Definition: A manner, disposition, feeling, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, especially with the mind.
• Rating of Control: 7-8, because we can try to control our attitude by thinking positive, but bad days are inevitable and natural. No one can maintain a healthy attitude all the time.
• Selling Point: Attitude is more influential than other determinants because it has a heavy influence on your mood. If you have a negative attitude, even good things can be twisted to be upsetting. A negative attitude emphasizes the bad things and results in much more stress. A positive person who looks for the best in everything can look past the bad stuff and tends to be much more relaxed, happy, and social as a result.

Example: anger releases stressStat:13% experienced reduced anger Citation
