The coping behaviors identified were minimization, acceptance of the possibility of being a carrier, a sense of being able to deal with the outcome of the carrier test, positive comparison, problem solving, and positive interpretation.
It is the responsibility of all citizens and leaders of good will in the public and private sectors who want to be engaged in positive problem-solving rather than in partisan posturing and finger pointing.
For social problem-solving, significant treatment effects were found for developing a more positive problem-solving orientation (large effect) and for engaging in a more rational problem-solving style (large effect) and avoidance problem-solving style (small effect).
The psychologists provided psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, positive thinking, problem solving, relaxation strategies and so on.
Considerable interest has also centred around the behaviour-modification strategies that best promote weight control [ 45]; goal-setting, positive reinforcement, problem solving, preventing relapse, self-monitoring, rewards, and identifying barriers are critical components of many weight interventions [ 39, 42, 46, 47].
Results (effect sizes calculated using Hedges' g) indicated that students who were taught TFGA had a more positive approach to problem solving (g = .11) and a more rational problem-solving style (g = .16).16
Gender did not exert any effect on disengagement, while age had a positive effect for problem solving only.
In particular, it appears that a business culture based on organizational flexibility characterized by technologies that generate tasks with responsibility and extended autonomy and non-standard transformation processes, has a positive effect on problem solving abilities (0.42; **).
On the basis of this conceptualization of math-science coherence, we expect a significant and positive relation to problem solving scores, since the conceptual overlap between mathematical and scientific literacy refers to cognitive abilities such as reasoning and information processing that are also required in problem solving (Arts et al. [2006]; Beckmann [2001]; Wüstenberg et al. [2012]).
These positive emotions improve problem solving because people are better able to marshal their cognitive resources to cope with the task at hand, instead of being encumbered by fear, threat, and stress (which shuts down creativity and harms problem solving).
