Self-Authorship
What is your definition of self-authorship?
Self-authorship is an advanced level of evolution or rather writing whereby a person does not just depend on their values and what they believe in (Magolda, 2014). they incorporate all that into what they believe to be their most advanced way of expression and through that, they make sure that their ideologies and beliefs are connected and express issues in a very clear and connected manner. Self-authorship is in three dimensions and these are interpersonal, intrapersonal, and cognitive. These three engage when a person reaches this level of self-evolution to make the person fully aware of themselves as well as their surroundings.
How would you know when you had reached a point of self-authorship? Where do you think you are now (i.e., on a scale of 1-10, how self-authored are you)? PROVIDE EXAMPLES.
Reaching the level of self-authorship is possible and most people tend to realize it. I noticed it when I was able to be fully aware of my environment and at the same time be aware of my inner self. Through this, I managed to manage my environment and my inner being at a balance (Baxter et al, 2007). Keeping these two at an equilibrium made me realize that it had reached the point of self-authorship.
What are the three most important concepts in self-authorship? (hint hint! From PowerPoint!!!) How do you plan to achieve those in your own life? GIVE EXAMPLES. What concepts did you learn in this course that will assist you with this? GIVE EXAMPLES.
The three most important parts of self-authorship deal with a person’s internal ability to maneuver around and get their best qualities and abilities as individuals. These three include cognitive, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Cognitive is the ability of a person to do what they think is best in that particular situation. It is also the evolving of the mind and brain capacity such that a person’s judgment can be said to be sound and good. When a person has a sound cognitive development, they are likely to engage in very respectful and mature discussions as well as make sure that whatever they are doing is considered sane. Interpersonal relates to how a person relates to another one. When a person has reached the stage of self-authorship, they are supposed to relate with one another in the best manner possible and make sure that they are respectful and uphold all the norms that people in that group of convention follow. The last part is intrapersonal and this involves oneself. Under this, a person gets the ability to control themselves and be fully aware of themselves, their challenges, their abilities, and their prospects among other things which are considered personal.
What resources will you need to achieve self-authorship? Are those resources in place now? Why or why not? How do you plan to get them if they are not in place now? GIVE EXAMPLES!
The resources to achieve self-authorship are varied and different people can have different resources helping them reach this level of self-authorship. However, there are basic things that enable a person to be fully aware of themselves and at the same time be able to achieve self-authorship. The first of these include diversity (Pizzolato, 2003). When a person experiences diverse issues and they are in situations that make them interact with different kinds of people they are likely to e better people and understand their inner self better. Not only will they understand their inner self but they also make sure that they get a view of the other people around them. Through understanding the other people around, them it becomes easier for them to see how the world is and develop interpersonal skills which contribute to their achievement of self-authorship.
The other very important ingredient towards achieving self-authorship is the ability of a person to establish a belief, choice or action based on their exploration (Magolda, 2014). This is a step towards self-authorship in that a person gets the ability to fully decide what they can tolerate and what they cannot tolerate depending on their experiences and the issues which they face on a daily basis. Therefore, when a person goes and meets with different kinds of people, they are likely to form an opinion and that helps them towards making a change in their internal personality and belief.
The other very important ingredient towards making sure that they are better and good every day is the ability of a person to develop their own choice-making abilities based on their identity. When a person wants to achieve self-authorship, they decide what kind of person they are, and based on their identities they are able to make choices that guide their lives in a great way. Therefore, it is an important part of growing and becoming better.
What are some barriers (systemic barriers, meaning barriers across many systems, such as personal barriers, family barriers, societal barriers) to you achieving self-authorship? What is your plan for removing or disposing of those barriers? Provide as much detail as possible in your plan.
I have had some barriers towards the achievement of my self-authorship in that I am still undecided about certain things which are important to me (Magolda, 2014). For example, I am not yet sure about what I will want to be done by the next 10 years since I do not like very much the course I am studying and would like to change it. Therefore, these kinds of issues and barriers, and in my case personal are a big factor in deciding what kind of people we want to become.

Self-Analysis of Personality Using the Behavioral Perspective
The personality I would like to analyze is conflict-averse behavior. I always tend to avoid disagreement by preferring to run away from the argument that may cause conflict. Also, my character tends not to directly confront issues by working hard to avoid palaces of conflict occurrence. Avoiding conflict-related activities and arguments creates harmony by preventing long-term friendships and teammates (Hassan et al., 2021). Majorly, I tend to use the conceding strategies by allowing fellows to win the arguments and hiding opinions to create an environment of ease to deal with the outcome of the undesirable situation rather than showing the disagreement. Consequently, I use the concept of separation by leaving the arena and finally changing the subject of communication to enhance conflict avoidance. Analyzing my conflict-averse personality requires a comprehensive examination of the behavioral theory to determine why the conflict is avoided. Therefore, the paper analysis my conflict-averse personality using the behavioral theory.
How I feel in Certain Situations
I always feel annoyed when involved in a conflict, but the only means of avoiding further disagreement is by exhibiting non-assertive or passive behavior. According to behavioral theory, I ignore disputes by appeasing others (Wang et al., 2012). The non-assertive behavioral technique is based on my inability to express my thoughts and feelings due to a lack of confidence in tackling the conflict. Also, losing the conflict in the argument process creates a need to avoid further risk of engagement.
The choice I Make
Avoiding conflict is a passive behavior that enables a person to calmly avoid disagreements that may cause fights. As such, the behavioral choices I make are based on controlling my emotions. I always avoid getting hyper to make the second party feel like the winner. Consequently, I use the conflict withdrawal strategy to avoid the issue and the person involved in the conflict. The withdrawal method entails leaving the scene and becoming silent hence suitable for mitigating further engagement in inappropriate discussion and actions (Gajdos & Vergnaud, 2013). Due to the uncertainty, I always exhibit the behavioral move to remain calm after avoiding both the scene and an individual.
How I think in certain Situation
In certain situations, I do think of planning and reversing the argument. Planning and rehearsing the argument enables me to understand the course of the action and the feeling of the second and third parties toward my behavior (Wang et al., 2012). In behavioral approaches, I always think of asking for forgiveness to enable the person I have been involved with in the conflict to feel at ease. Through the person avoidance behavioral dimension, I feel focused on avoiding communication and planning to use the third party to communicate my feelings.
How I Acquired Certain Attitudes and Beliefs
According to the behavioral theory, attitudes arise from the experience that someone has acquired from the positive and negative effects of the conflict. Also, the belief arises from the societal means of resolving the conflict; for example, society always believes that the person’s behavior when conflict arises will determine the morality and the degree of bias towards the disagreement (Iyer et al., 2021). As such, I have acquired the attitude of getting injured when involved in a conflict which has made me choose conflict-averse behavior to mitigate the detriment of conflict-related activities or arguments. Moreover, the belief about the lack of the importance of creating sustainable peace even if the second party is wrong has enabled me to survive arrest in many conflicting situations. It has also created a sense of emotional control hence creating the attitude of avoiding the issue and the conflict-related individual in all life perspectives.
What I do and why I do it in Certain Situations
In some situations, I take the behavioral presence to avoid the issue but not the person involved in the conflict. Pretense entails shifting from one topic to another, enabling me to induce an interesting topic to equalize the anger generated by the argument (Wang et al., 2012). Also, I consider acting as if there was no conflict by making noncommittal remarks. The act of pretense as a behavioral mechanism creates a corporate goal rather than competitive concern towards an argument. Sometimes, I lower my aspiration to enable me to settle for less hence remaining sacrificial.
Why I feel, think, and do what I do in Certain Situations.
I always exhibit the feeling of fear, hurt, and frustration in certain situations of conflict. The frustration is based on a lack of understanding that the other conflicting party should perceive, hence peaceful conflict resolution. The feeling of fear in a certain situation also entails the negative consequence of the conflict that may lead to judicial action or body damages due to a fight. The best motive for mitigating the fear detriment is through conflict aversion. Most importantly, the feeling of frustration gets construed as an emotional response to the opposition, disappointment, and anger. According to behavioral theory, frustration results from the perceived resistance to individual fulfillment and increases upon denial of the goals (Wang et al., 2012). To avoid aggressive behavior, I minimize the level of disappointment through conflict aversion approaches.
Conclusion
Conflict-averse behavior is a behavioral mechanism of avoiding the person, conflict, and the negative outcome of the disagreement. As such, I exhibit the conflict-averse behavioral mechanism to limit my anger, disappointment, and making non-beneficial choices. The process of avoiding the conflict entails the feeling of anger, the feeling of losing the disagreements, and the need to make a comprehensive withdrawal approach to mitigate the negative outcome. However, I feel like rehearsing the disagreement and determining the dimension of avoiding communication in a certain situation. Moreover, I have acquired the attitudes and beliefs concerning the conflict aversion process. These beliefs and attitudes have enabled me to conceptualize my thoughts and acts in certain situations as a criterion for creating a conflict-averse behavioral initiative.
