The answer is "<span>Self efficacy".

Self efficacy is regularly characterized as the confidence in one's abilities to accomplish an objective or a result. Understudies with a solid feeling of adequacy will probably provoke themselves with troublesome errands and be inherently inspired. These understudies will advance a high level of exertion keeping in mind the end goal to meet their responsibilities, and credit inability to things which are in their control, as opposed to accusing outside components.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Informational influence; Normative influence

Explanation:

Will pays attention to when the rest of the congregation sits and stands because he wants to be sure to stand and sit at the appropriate times. This shows Will has conformed because of INFORMATIONAL INFLUENCE.

Informational influence refers to new knowledge or arguments provided in a group discussion that alter the views, opinions, or actions of a group member, here WILL with the new knowledge he learned by observing the congregation helps him know his next options/actions.

Grace stands up and sits down when the rest of the congregation does because if she doesn't, the elderly couple across the aisle scowls at her.

Grace has conformed because of NORMATIVE INFLUENCE .

Normative influence refers to the idea that often times people change their actions, thoughts or beliefs that others like and embrace. GRACE stands up and sit down when the rest of the congregation does, because she knows if she doesn't the old women would scowl at her, this shows she is trying to impress and make the people like her.

In a study by Lassiter and his colleagues (2007), they found that when judges and police officers viewed tapes of interrogations
Semenov [28]

This is due to an effect known as the camera-perspective bias. The camera-perspective bias is a bias that can affect everyone, not only police officers. This bias leads us to perceive a scene in a different way depending on the angle of the camera. It has been shown that police officers tend to find a confession of a suspect voluntary when the camera is only pointing at the suspect.This also seems to be true regardless of the amount of training an officer has received.

Now, begin making changes. Remember to meet all of the president’s promises. What were the three largest cuts you made, and why
zzz [600]

Being made president the three cuts i would mare would be in the following areas, taxes, Government spending and cut unnecessary ministries or departments.  

The fist big cut I would make would be tax cuts, the reason for this is the less taxes are charged on the populaiton the more money said population will have to spend on goods and services adn thus circulate in the economy. This would also mean less tax breaks for the wealthly, thus removing their privileges of avoiding taxes through charities.

The second big cut I would make would be in government spending, or more specifically reducing or cutting the salaries of career politicians by 30% to 40%. This is becasue the government with is the largest spender of capital in any given country while being the lowest producer of capital and it is unsustainable to maintain large political salaries. With this cut it would not only alleviate the tax payer, but also free up remaining funds for health and educaiton.

Finally the last cuts I would make would be in the area of departments or ministries. While some such as the department of Agriculture and Interior incompatible and cannot be fused, other such as the departmetn of labour and Treasury can be fused, reducing the number of departments and thus overall government spending again.

These are the three be cuts I would make as President.
