Self-motivating statements

Utterances of the client signifying motivation are reinforced. This can be done by empathic repetition of what the client has said. The therapist tries to select and emphasise these statements in which the client expresses motivation in the direction of change. By doing this the therapist stimulates the client to express more of these self motivational statements. The therapist can reflect what the client says at different levels , ranging from a mere literal repetition of the words spoken by the client to a reflection of the client s feelings (underneath the spoken words). The former are mostly used in the beginning of a motivational process (see eliciting phase ), and the...

There is a strong likelihood that people may have certain dominant and constant travel motivations that act as a common backbone to travel regardless of their travel experience level. In particular,...

Below, when it is not important for my presentation to separate beliefs and attitudes, I will use beliefs to refer to both descriptive and normative beliefs. For a political culture to characterize a nation, individuals need to self-identify with the set of beliefs characterizing the corresponding political culture. To self-identify with a set of beliefs, individuals have to both be capable of forming dispositions to behave based directly on these beliefs and to approve the beliefs propositional content. I will deal more with the notion of self-identification in the next section. When an individual is motivated to act directly in relation to a certain belief, this individual develops a disposition to behave.
