Life effectiveness is term which refers to the performance of generic personal and social life skills. Related terms include psychological resilience and practical intelligence.
The Life Effectiveness Questionnaire provides a self-report instrument for assessing several purported life effectiveness skills, including:
- Time Management
- Social Competence
- Achievement Motivation
- Intellectual Flexibility
- Emotional Control
- Task Leadership
- Active Initiative
- Self Confidence
Workshop activity
- Present and discuss notion of life effectiveness - handout - for more info, see http://wilderdom.com/leq
- Related concepts: Practical intelligence, self-concept etc.
- Definitions of generic life effectiveness skills
- Describe the eight life effectiveness (LEQ-H) dimensions
- Present and discuss outdoor education results from http://wilderdom.com/phd
- Highlight the general trend of a small drop between pre-program and first day (due to situational threat), the substantial increase during the program (probably inflated by post-group euphoria at program end), and the partial loss of gains during the follow-up period (typical of interventions). Of potential concern is that the 1st day to last day snapshot (typical of many evaluations) may over-estimate the amount of change during the program due to the initial depression and end-of-program euphoria. Thus, longitudinal research with a control group is preferable.
