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.

Example:Stat: People that live in a city live longer that people who live in a rural area. Mortality

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

The Tech Guru= Raman MathurThe Research Specialist= Jessica Park

Page 11: Slide share powerpoint

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.
