With Whom Do You Most Often Exercise?

Exercise Companionship for Men and Women from 2003 to 2006

 

The graph above shows the percentage of men and women responses on exercise companionship from a survey conducted from 2003 to 2006. More than half of both men and women reported that they exercised alone, which represented the largest category of companionship for the two groups. The second highest response category for the two groups, which had the largest percentage point gap between men and women, was exercising with family members. More male respondents reported exercising with friends or neighbors than female respondents. No other exercise companion group for men and women, respectively, was less favored than co-workers. For female respondents, the percentage of exercising with family members was more than that of exercising with friends or neighbors.

U.S. Teens Are Increasingly Divided in Their Shopping Preferences 

% of teens in the United States who prefer shopping online / in stores, by gender

 

The graph above shows shopping preferences of U.S. teens by gender for three periods: the spring of 2013, the fall of 2013, and the spring of 2014. For all the periods, more males and females purchased things in stores than online. However, online shopping purchases increased over time for both males and females. The percentages of male online shopping preference were higher than those of female online shopping preference for all the periods. In the spring of 2013, more than 75% of both males and females made purchases in stores. In the spring of 2014, the gap between the female preference for online and in store shopping was 48 percentage points, and it was more in the case of males.

On my desk is a picture of my father, age seventy-two or so, in his pale blue pajamas and dancing with his great-grandson, Brandon. My father is really dancing, a wide grin on his face, holding on to the little boy’s hand. Brandon is my niece’s son, probably six or seven years old when this picture was taken. He’s doing the best he can for a little guy, but mostly he’s just standing there, watching my father. At least it doesn’t appear that the boy is dancing. My father is in bare feet, one foot high in the air, as he kicks to the music. I know, without having been there, what song he is dancing to. It is “One O’Clock Jump,” by Benny Goodman. Everyone in the picture is smiling or laughing.

Diane made a communication mistake that instantly persuaded her fellow teacher Martha to resent her. What was Diane’s mistake? Diane disagreed with Martha and didn’t even give her a chance to explain her idea before rejecting it. Diane wasn’t interested in looking at the newspaper article and she did not ask Martha to explain her reasons for advocating a new science program. By rejecting Martha’s opinion without giving it any consideration, Diane sent Martha the message that she didn’t respect her or value her ideas. Diane’s instant negativity discouraged her from sharing ideas in the future that could benefit the students, the science department and the school. Diane’s habit of quickly dismissing opposing views weakened her authority and limited progress in the science department.

A well-known shoe manufacturer sent out a mailer advertising a sale. Salli was excited, as she has a very narrow foot and the manufacturer advertised her size in styles she liked. When she went to the store, she was very disappointed because not one of the styles was available in her size. She was told by a saleswoman that they only stocked one of each style in each size! Still, since she was promised the shoes she wanted were available from the warehouse, Salli decided to order two pairs. A week later, she received a phone call saying one pair was actually no longer being made. A week after that came a rather poignant note from the saleswoman and her manager saying the other pair was also unavailable. They did enclose a 20% off coupon for her next visit. Needless to say — there won’t be a next time.

Suddenly, a bushplane appeared. It passed directly over Brian, very low, touching the water gently once, twice, and stopped with its floats gently bumping the beach in front of his shelter. The pilot cut the engine, opened the door, and got out, balanced, and stepped forward on the float to hop onto the sand without getting his feet wet. He was wearing sunglasses and he took them off to stare at Brian. “I heard your emergency transmitter.” He cocked his head, studying Brian. “Whoa. You’re him, aren’t you? They quit looking, a month, no, almost two months ago.” Brian was standing now, but still silent. His tongue seemed to be stuck to the roof of his mouth and his throat didn’t work right. “My name is Brian Robeson,” he said. Then he saw that his stew was done, and he waved to it with his hand. “Would you like something to eat?”

Choice is at the core of human experience at any age. This deep longing to choose our own purpose, beliefs, and actions, no matter what age we are, is fought for and defended in every home, particularly by children whose parents overlook their vital need for autonomy. Opportunities to make choices typically increase with age and experience. The total dependence of infants gives way, day by day and with increasing momentum, to a desire to make choices for themselves ─ choices about what and when they want to eat, explore, and express themselves. The maturing process is about growing the ability to make choices for oneself, and it is crucial for their development that kids at early ages have many opportunities to make choices and to learn from them.

A lot of us feel like doing “something different.” Studies have shown that people do not like to read instructions, and much of what we do read we either ignore or don’t understand. In one test, for example, twenty-four adults were asked to wire a common household electrical plug. Only ten of the twenty-four even bothered to look at the instructions. And of those ten, seven consulted the instructions only to check the color coding for the electrical wires; the rest of the information was ignored. Not surprisingly, most people flunked this test. Even when the instructions are unusually important, people tend to pay them little attention. As the authors of the electrical plug study noted, “Even in the case of quite unfamiliar tasks, people seem to prefer to act rather than reflect.”

The history of any animal species reveals a distinct sameness in behavior. A bird building its nest today will do it in almost exactly the same way that birds did it yesterday, a year ago, even thousands of years ago. And one can be quite sure that birds will continue in this same way thousands of years from now. All animals, even the higher apes, closest to man in intelligence, show this sameness over vast stretches of time. Man is different. Change is a general characteristic of human thought, human action, and human development. A house built today is quite different from one that was built thousands of years ago or even a few decades ago. And we can be certain that a house built twenty or thirty years from now will differ greatly from one built today.

The one psychophysics term on the lips of Prada store managers is “anchor.” In the luxury trade, that describes an incredibly high-priced article displayed mainly to manipulate consumers. The anchor is for sale — but it’s okay if no one buys it. It’s really there for contrast. It makes everything else look affordable by comparison. “This has been a strategy that goes back to the seventeenth century,” Paco Underhill, the author of the book Why We Buy, said recently. “You sold one thing to the king, but everyone in court had to have a lesser one. There’s the $500 bag in the window, and what you walk away with is the T-shirt.”

Every quarter, staff members at Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Santa Clara County get together to review individual and team objectives. Each person talks about what he or she has been doing and identifies how those accomplishments have helped to achieve the agency’s aspirations. Then, a staff member puts a checkmark next to each of the goals and priorities (posted on the wall) that each person has helped the agency come closer to realizing. This process is followed by rounds of applause, whoops, and hollers. At the end of the session, says executive director Sheila Kriefels, “We have a visual statement about what we have all been able to accomplish as an agency. This also gives us the chance to notice any gaps between what each of one of us is doing and what we all had said we wanted the agency to achieve, and then where we might need to focus more of our energies in the future to achieve our common vision.”

Humans have an extraordinarily large capacity for recognizing faces, voices, and pictures. As we wander through a stream of sights, sounds, tastes, odors, and tactile impressions, some novel and some previously experienced, we have little trouble telling the two apart. In a remarkable experiment, participants were shown 10,000 pictures for five seconds each. Two days later, they correctly identified 8,300 of them. No computer program to date can perform face recognition as well as a human child can. Why is this? Humans are among the few species whose unrelated members exchange favors, such as trading goods, engaging in social contracts, or forming organizations. If we were not able to recognize faces, voices, or names, we would not be able to tell whom we’d encountered previously, and as a consequence, not recall who treated us fairly and who cheated. Hence, social contracts of reciprocity — “I share my food with you today, and you return the favor tomorrow” — could not be reinforced. *reciprocity 상호 관계

Remember, the dwarves were the ones who saved Snow White when she was down. And it wasn’t her pretty face that won their loyalty, but it was her hard work. She didn’t groan and moan about working as a housekeeper, even though she was born a princess. She did her work cheerfully and made herself indispensable to the dwarves. And that is what you need to do at your job. Never make the mistake of thinking that only higher-ups can help you. Winning the respect of your peers — and even coworkers who are lower in the company hierarchy — is always worthwhile. If you’re having difficulty with your immediate boss, a human resources manager or a senior boss will often consider what others say about you. Peer support can be important in saving your situation.

Toppling dominoes is pretty straightforward. You line them up and tip over the first one. In the real world, though, it’s a bit more complicated. The challenge is that life doesn’t line everything up for us and say, “Here’s where you should start.” Highly successful people know this. So every day they line up their priorities anew, find the lead domino, and whack away at it until it falls. Why does this approach work? Because extraordinary success is sequential, not simultaneous. What starts out linear becomes geometric. You do the right thing and then you do the next right thing. Over time it adds up, and the geometric potential of success is unleashed. The domino effect applies to the big picture, like your work or your business, and it applies to the smallest moment in each day when you’re trying to decide what to do next.
