u3092843: My Social Contribution in the form of feedback for other student's book chapter's. Edit One: Menstrual Cycle Date provided: 8/11/2015 The pain and discomfort reported by sufferers of menstrual pain has urged further research into varying treatment methods. An increased awareness of the complications and impact of menstrual cycle pain has attracted support from research bodies that would never had been associated with this type of research. Typical medication treatments have been compared with alternative treatment methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and hypnosis. Rasht and Sari (2015) found over an 8 week period implementation of CBT and combination of CBT and hypnosis demonstrated a reduction in reported pain (p < 0.001). Further research found a reduction in anxiety prior to expected menstruation periods. Group therapy was also found to be useful in reduction of fear emotions prior to menstruation periods (Glover, Jovanovic, & Norrholm, 2015). Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment demonstrated efficacy in separating fear response with the increased presence of estrogen in a female’s system. Reference List

Edit Two: Activism Date provided: 8/11/2015 Activism has demonstrated the unique power of motivation to achieve a desired goal. The unique behaviour has been analysed by being placed into context of what issue is providing the energy for the motivation. Van Stekelenburg, Klandermans, and van Dijk (2011) have suggested that basic human emotion has extrinsically been linked with feelings of motivation to become an activist. Critically the authors do not describe whether these feelings would be reversed should the emotional input be sadness or grief. The emotion demonstrated at rallies has been targeted by corporations that have aimed to monitor the political motivations of their employees. Pacheco and Dean (2015) commented on the changes in market direction influenced the outlook of their employees. The theory of competitive dynamics has suggested a correlational relationship exists between getting active when social circumstances are poor, and doing less when they are perceived to be better (Pacheco & Dean, 2015). Furthermore, facilitation of motivation has been seen to impact the increase or decrease of motivational activism. Soon and Kluver (2014) commented on the communal nature of internet blogging and as a theory and contributor to increased activism. This finding had removed preconceptions about the motivations of blogging as tools of narcissism. Activism and motivation have a demonstrated efficacy but capacity for further research has presented in the perspective of grief or sadness. Reference List

Edit Three: Anti-social Behaviour in Children Date provided: 14/12/2015 Observation of any child for a long period of time will reinforce one thing – Children love to have new items in their possession. There doesn’t have to be a reason for a new item, but the mere fact it can happen and that it is new is the fairly safe stereotype. This fact is obviously quite common knowledge. Everybody was a child once. The reason why it’s crucial in this scenario however, is the conflict in children between extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation is stirred up by children wanting new things. As Deci, Koestner and Ryan (1999) have acknowledged, the conflict between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation is problematic in childhood. In adults it is hard at the best of times. Not because the purchasing of new possessions is expensive, but the fact that in order to appease children, we have become willing to buy their silence. This has become the norm, instead of working on their intrinsic level of self-satisfaction and happiness with what toys they already have (Ryan & Deci, 2000). In realisation of this problem, it is only going to be a matter of time before the child has achieved the task to acquire the new shiny object. The task each of us set out, despite knowledge of what was being done was bad. This is what children have been trained to do. Therefore, the proposal for a third motivation state seems the only viable option to support good parenting and the demands of children. Thus, the proposal for an in-between motivation state seems the only viable route to take. Whereby the fun and excitement of being able to succeed and be rewarded is balanced fairly with the opportunity to say no and to provide time for reflection and intrinsic personal growth (Benabou, 2003). Furthermore, the realisation that children, or adults, will never occupy just one state of motivation will be the greatest success. Reference List
