A child resists brushing her teeth at night before going to bed. She does not like it. She does not do it. And,
when she does brush her teeth, she does it poorly and only half-heartedly (e.g., she just plays with the
water). But her parents see high value in her brushing and they encourage her to do so, although they dread
having to deal with their daughter’s resistance night after night.
Employee at Work
A sales representative for a large company receives a monthly sales quota and is told that everything is fine
so long as she meets or exceeds her quota. She feels that she has the skills for the job, but 90 percent of the
calls she makes fail to produce a sell. The day-to-day job experience is one of rejection and frustration. She
is thinking about quitting and looking for another job.
Athlete or Musician
An athlete (or musician) performs well, and she very much enjoys her sport (instrument). She loves to play
and practice, but she would like to develop her talents further, much further in fact. For some reason, her rate
of improvement is laboriously slow and often nonexistent. She wants to become an elite performer, but it
does not seem to be happening.
Medical Patient
A physician tells a patient to lose 40 pounds or risk a heart attack. The patient understands the need to make
a lifestyle change. Although he knows the physician is right, he is nevertheless pessimistic that he will ever
take his physician’s advice and make the lifestyle change. Exercise and a healthy diet are just not his thing.
He doubts that the lifestyle change is really worth the fuss.
Suffering Student
A student is taking an advanced class. He comes to class, reads the book, and studies his notesjust as he
has done in many previous classes. On the mid-term exam, he does so poorly that he feels ashamed of
himself. He feels lost and overwhelmed. He has lost all motivation for the second half of the course and
wishes he could just stop going.
