I’ve been mememed
This one comes from Jad
The rules of this one are that you have to
1. Grab the book closest to you
2. Flip it open to page 123
3. Scroll down to the 5th line
4. Write down the next three full sentences
Ok, so I have to cheat a bit because the book closest to me is a hebrew-english dictionary but it isn’t really cheating because dictionaries don’t have sentences! Trust me, the next closest book isn’t exactly scintillating reading but here we go.
Title of Book: Self-Efficacy: The Exercise of Control
Author: Albert Bandura
According to the attribution theory of motivation (Weiner, 1985), retrospective judgments of the causes of one’s performances have motivational effects. People who credit their successes to personal capabilities and their failures to insufficient effort will undertake difficult tasks and persist in the face of failure. They do this because they see their outcomes as influenceable by how much effort they expend.
Yo Jadi, aren’t you sad you mememed me now!
So now my own hit list (muhahahaha) is: Kat, My Obiter Dicta, and Firas.

Bandura! Attribution theory of motivation! It takes me back to my Theory of Learning class. It was one of the best I had as a grad student. I had the most fabulous professor! I actually used some of Dweck’s motivation theory in my (statistics education) dissertation. I guess I must just be a geek. I hope all is going well and that your deadlines aren’t drowning you. I’m off to teach my last lecture of the semester. Don’t even ask how many meetings I’ve scheduled for next week in between grading finals!
