Abstract
This paper analyzes Steven Covey's book, "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", from the point of view of a military naval sailor facing the death of his father. It shows how the author, from personal experience, applied Covey's seven principles to his own daily life, both in civilian life and on the ship, and came to recognize leadership qualities in several of those around him and in himself.
From the Paper
"The fact that Covey?s analysis of leadership meets both civilian and service needs was underlined by several core, formative experiences I have since had at sea, in examining my immediate leaders through Covey?s sevenfold eyes. Once, I was particularly struck by the leadership behavior of a Captain who always gave public and private recognition for the quality of the labor of others, and complimented the diligence of his subordinates. He never saw losses, his thinking was always ?win-win,? stressing the positives learned, even when the individual made an accidental error. (9) He was never afraid that making compliments for a job performed correctly and excellently would make him seem weak, according to Covey?s ?paradigm? of ?interdependent? leadership. (10)"

From the Paper
"This paper will review author Steven R. Covey's bestselling book, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". This paper will also analyze Covey's habits and point out which habits will best cause people to become more effective leaders.
One of the first things which Covey points out is that "habits can be learned and unlearned" (46). Covey notes that breaking deeply embedded habits like impatience, procrastination, and selfishness can take time. However, breaking such unpleasant habits is often a crucial step toward a person's achievement of new goals. Although breaking unwanted habits takes a great commitment, Covey asserts that, if a person's desire to change is coupled with an understanding that one must be willing to subordinate what one wants now to achieve what one wants later, a person may ...

Abstract
This paper explains that the objectives of the study were to describe the general sleeping habits of College of Arts and Sciences students and to evaluate if the student's course is a factor in his or her sleeping habits (defined as the number of hours of sleep and sleep quality). The author points out that the methodology of the study was a descriptive survey of college students using a stratified random sampling design with the sample size set at a 90% confidence level. The paper concludes that, although statistically the students' courses do not have bearing on what time and how long the students sleep, the respondents themselves believe that their courses affect their sleep. The paper includes several tables, figures and the survey used in the study.

From the Paper
"Sleep deprivation causes emotional disturbances in people. It may also lead to aggressiveness, apathy; result in fluctuations between euphoria and depression and vice versa. One can also experience pain in joints, hallucinations and visions. People also lose their ability to think straight and act quickly. Those who have been sleep deprived for long, usually find it hard to finish a sentence or find an appropriate word to describe something. One's short-term memory also tends to fail. Therefore, one should never economize additional time for sleep. A sleep-deprived individual does everything twice as slow."

Summary
From the Paper
"Researchers state that boys have shown contrast in their reading compared to reading materials preferred by schools; schools favor book based learning and fiction while boys have idiosyncratic reading choices in their reading materials that may lead to them being recognized as bad readers as their reading interest may not match those preferred by the school."
"Factors that influence the attitude of boys as reluctant readers fall into three areas which are the family, peer group and friendship group. Parents are shown to be powerful literary models for their children as they provide them with earliest books and materials and often act as their first teacher in promoting the reading habit. Peer groups bring with them peer pressure to confirm to a certain belief, while friendship groups function as a social practice to develop and maintain relationships with peers. These two factors influence reading habit and interest."

A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"If other people believe that you are genuinely interested in what they are saying to you, half of the communication battle has already been won. A simple nod of the head, a smile, body position (leaning forward and so forth) all play a critical role in this regard, and paraphrasing what others have said to ensure that the message has been received is always a good idea. To this end, when others see that you have understood what has been expressed, they will be in a more receptive mood to listen to your response. This paraphrasing also reinforces the sincerity of interest on the part of the manager, since the mental effort required demonstrates an active listening role. This paraphrasing also helps to place the problems in the context of the whole organization, and helps to define the tone of the original message."

Homework Habits of 7th Graders, 2004.
Looks at the latest trends in the homework habits of 7th graders.

Abstract
This paper studies the recent trends in the homework habits of 7th graders. Parental involvement, organizational approaches, the tools used most often to assist students with their homework, and the amount and type of homework assigned are some of the latest trends in homework explored in this paper.
From the Paper
"Homework trends have varied widely throughout the years. When analyzing current trends on who helps with the student's homework, one finds some surprising answers. The following information was taken from recent polls conducted by the Angus Reid Group concerning trends and attitudes in K-12 education. Although it was agreed all around that parents are the ones to help most often, followed by friends, teachers, and brothers and sisters, a survey of 12-year-olds found that mothers are involved with their children's homework nearly twice as often as the fathers. Researchers speculate that this could be due to some mothers being home after school while their children are younger, but returning to work as their children get older."

'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families', 2006.
A review of Stephen R. Covey's book 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families'.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines a text written by Stephen R. Covey which explores the basic habits of thought and action which result in healthy families. The paper points out Covey's humility in acknowledging that his text cannot be viewed as a cure all for familial strife insofar as no such thing exists.
From the Paper
"Stephen R. Covey's 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families' is an excellent text which describes how families can overcome the vicissitudes of everyday modern life and still find time to help and nurture one another. Covey's book is also very timely insofar as, at the time of its release in 1997, rates of marital infidelity and illegitimacy were at an all-time high and the institution of marriage itself (as well as traditional conceptions of the family) seemed under assault from all sides. Consequently, the book has a "here-and-now" applicability that adds weight to its findings. As expected, Covey divides his tome into seven more-or-less equally long chapters. "

Abstract
This paper focuses on the message imparted by its author, Sean Covey to all the teenagers of the world. This paper concentrates on the seven habits pointed out by the author in his book and tries to throw some light on the matter. This paper also explains the author?s message according to the reader?s perception and explains how the book can prove to be effective in the life of the reader.
From the Paper
"If a teenager has pessimistic thinking and is in an inferiority complex then there is not much that he/she can obtain out of life. But again if this habit is replaced by an optimistic thinking and a positive attitude, it can make a lot of difference in a sense that it raises self-esteem and brings about a lot of self-confidence in a person. What the author is trying to convey is that all bad habits can be exchanged for better ones only if one desires for it and puts in some effort and will power. An influential writer such as Samuel Smiles once said, ?Sow a thought and you reap an act, Sow an act, and you reap a habit, Sow a habit, and you reap a character, Sow a character, and you reap a destiny? (Get In The Habit, http://www.focusas.com/GetInTheHabit.html)."

Extinguishing Undesired Habits, 2006.
A look at whether various forms of classical and operant conditioning can be used to extinguish undesired habits.
1,319 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 44.95
»

Abstract
This paper attempts to demonstrate that classical and operant conditioning are effective methods for extinguishing undesired habits. The paper reviews literature that supports this hypothesis and concludes that both classical and operative conditioning have been successfully used in behavior modification in both laboratory and "real world" situations.
From the Paper
"Old habits die hard, so the saying goes. Yet New Year's resolutions and personal goals, more often than not, revolve around the desire to change behavior and end undesired habits. A person may wish to stop smoking, quit drinking, change diet habits, or end other habitual behavior that is not desired by that person. Diet pills and nicotine patches may be infomercial-guaranteed to perfect life, but quick fixes may not actually be all they claim to be. Undesired habits may be dangerous or unhealthy for a person to continue, and it is important to society that effective methods of ending "bad" habits are understood and implemented. Many studies have been dedicated to this area of research, whether it be teaching a rat to avoid a certain area of a lab maze or teaching addicts to stop taking drugs, and many habit-kicking methods have been tested."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the seven habits listed in the book and examines how these can be used in both personal and professional venues as well as the ways in which these pieces of advice are also fundamentally limited in key aspects.
From the Paper
"Stephen Covey's "seven habits of highly effective people" are pretty straightforward and simple: 1) Be proactive; 2) begin with the end in mind; 3) put FIRST things first; 4) think win-win; 5) seek first to understand, then to be understood; 6) synergize; and 7) sharpen the saw. The first three of these habits Covey considers to be private victories, the second three "public victories" and the seventh habit is the renewal process that encompasses all of the other habits."

Music Effect on Shopping Habits, 2002.
A research design examining the effects of music on grocery store shopper habits.
2,654 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 79.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper details a research design which will follow the hypothesis that when music is played, regardless of the type of music played, that shoppers will spend more time and more money as opposed to the amount of time and money spent when the music is not being played. It provides a methodology explanation, limitations of the study and implications of the study.
From the Paper
"Marketers continuously attempt to influence shopper habits by manipulating their environment. It has been known since the early 1970s that factors such as lighting, layout, sounds, colors and temperature invoke emotional responses in consumers (Kotler, 1973). Research has shown that the amount of time spent in a restaurant was directly related to the amount of money spent (Caldwell and Hibbert, 2002). Musical preferences were found to play a factor in the restaurant experience. However, the tempo of the music was not found to be significant (Caldwell and Hibbert, 2002). Several researchers have focused on the effects of music on consumer behavior (North, Hargreaves, and McKendrick, 1996; Yalch & Spangenberg, 1990; Milliman, 1982)."

Healthy Childhood Eating Habits, 2004.
This paper discusses the responsibilities of parents and child caretakers have to teach and to ensure that their children have healthy eating habits.
1,230 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper stresses that something is going wrong in the way our children are being taught to eat, and something is not right with the foods that are being offered to them. The author points out that children learn a surprising amount from watching the world around them and following the examples set by their parents, siblings, and other people in their lives; therefore, the entire family should agree about helping the child learn how to be healthy. The paper states that children cannot be expected to eat the same size portions as adults because their bodies are smaller; children must be allowed to decide when they are full.
From the Paper
"Additionally, in order for children to truly be able to develop healthy food-related habits, they must be allowed to help make decisions about what they eat. Many children are not allowed to decide what kinds of food they eat, when they eat, and how much they eat. It is common for parents to scold their children and tell them to ?clean their plate? when the child feels they are done eating. ?Years ago, food was very hard to come by especially during The Great Depression and after World War II. When people have to deal with this sort of situation for years, they develop a certain mindset. Now we don't have that problem."
