In learning about many avenues of stress and stressors, Attribution in other words "quitting" is the result of many levels of stress which tarnishes a student's self-motivation to succeed. For example, General Adaptation Syndrome is when students are able to handle issues that are beyond their control, the student then wants to fall back his/her will to drive on their career goals. Students who find that other students are successful, simply by nature and they fall short of success, thoughts of quitting settle in.
This is what is called General Adaptation Syndrome. Many first-time college students experience this level of stress, because competition with others may be a factor. This is a form of Power of the Paradigm. Many students fall into this category of stress due to self-doubt and lack of confidence. At this point, students would be a "good fit" to meet with a human services professional much like a life coach, mentor, and/or counselor.
I would like to contribute to my students the importance of self-confidence by controlling stressors that trigger feelings of quitting or dropping out. There are many ways to overcome these feelings by simply:
1). Acknowledgment 2). Plan of Action 3). Execution. As success leaders, it is our duty to get our students to open up those hidden feelings which includes Academic Erosion Stress, Academic Stagnation Stress, and School Commitment. As a result, once these areas of student concerns are acknowledged, then and only then, the student(s) will have an opportunity to overcome these stressors and stay on the road to success.
