FOREWORD:
THIS IS NOT A SHOOTING POST, THIS IS RATHER AN INFORMATIONAL POST =D

yes ladies and gentlemen.....

i am here with my psycho babble but anyway i will break it down in laymen terms for you ok =D

In-group....---> a social group in which one feels respect loyalty and bonded together due to the fact of being a member of that social group thus forming a social identity E.G cheerleaders =D

Attribution theory...... ---> theory in which one will attribute their behavior or actions towards internal factors such as personality or abilities, or towards external factors such as wet weather or wind very cold etc....

Conformity theory..... ----> theorized reason for why one tune their personal behavior in order not to look weird or stand out because they are not following the majority..... and normally happens due to imagined or real social pressure.....

Social loafing..... ----> social phenomenon in which people in groups are not working as hard compared to the amount of hard work they do working alone.........

Stress...... ---->biological reaction as the consequence due to the failure of an organism – human or animal – to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats, whether actual or imagined.

Now today was a very stressed day for everyone cause i see it in their faces all like that one =( dont have anyone that goes like =) or =D all either =( or =((

You guys are starting to feel the stress of nationals coming eh =D soon the day will come where people will regret not training harder and longer. where people will start to panic over improper time management..... which are threats to me and everyone =/

This is where attribution theory comes in, you might attribute stunts fail because you are tired, too much work no rest, and all the other external factors but seriously..... it is hard to pin point yourself for anything that goes wrong. for example you dint train hard enough or you dint lock all the way bla bla.... this is why i would like to ask everybody to see of they have done anything wrong on their part first before blaming others.... i hope i dint see wrong but i think i saw a group stunt base today bla bla at each other even though its clearly that it is the flyer's fault =/ (pls tell me i see wrong*crossfingers*)

and so this is where social loafing comes in =D cos i see that because the base is strong sometimes some flyers relax =/ *cross fingers* (pls tell me i see wrong again) or the base slacking because sometimes the flyer is super zai *cross fingers* (pls tell me i see wrong again) but in any case i would just like to point this thing out cause it is very prevalent in the team in the past and that i couldnt recognize the symptoms till now =/ *sigh* anyway so yeah put in 100% for every stunt that you do..... if u give up then oh well ........ i guess nothing more to say i guess =/

Ok ok, reaching the end soon......... now the power of being in an in-group is very big cos firstly u guys are bonded and that what one feels will affect the rest of your little in-group within the in-group. so if one is sad, the others will start to feel sad........ and it will spread around due to conformity because no one will want to stand out and be very very happy because it will make you look weird =/ well in that case i think soon everyone will be doing this to smile during this nationals period

lol imagine everyone smile like that, maybe for once everyone can really laugh and relax for a moment lol...... but really the team needs to smile, encourage one another, not just a random jia you when things goes bad.... we need to constantly give encouragement to help calm everyone down and keep the mood lively.... its sucks to cheer when everyone is dead right =D so yeah really i dont want to say at debrief cos it will be quite long but now with pictures =D this is more interesting hahahahaha

oh and lastly i want to leave you all with this poster which i really like hahaha its from one of my fav tv shows called How I Met Your Mum (go check it out when you are free)
