1. Describe the ways in which grit, resilience, and coping skills are essential to any advocacy effort. Grit, resilience, and coping skills are all important elements in advocacy efforts in producing change. Grit involves having the courage or resolve to fight through change. For example, finishing what you start is an important aspect in advocacy even when it is challenging and have the resilience to push through this when it occurs. In life and in advocacy, coping skills are important and having those skills is helpful to maintain motivation and good mental health during change. Coping skills help us to understand and accept outcomes or challenges that we may go through. The process of having grit, resilience, and healthy coping skills will enable us to have a good platform for advocating change. 2. Describe how you would apply the principles of emotional intelligence for collaboration in your advocacy efforts. Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive, interpret, demonstrate, control, and use emotion to communicate and relate to others effectively. The five key elements of emotional intelligence or EI are self-awareness, self-regulation, social skills, empathy, and motivation. (Cherry, 2023) In regard to advocacy, the importance of self-regulation is being aware of others’ emotions especially those who have different views and beliefs and challenging your own stereotypes or bias. Self-awareness is also important to recognize your own strengths or weaknesses that could be helpful or hurtful in effecting change and allows me to treat others respectfully. Self-awareness and self-regulation also help with gaining empathy for others that is almost impossible to effect change without

and social skills allow me to work with others to make this change possible by communicating and listening to others as a team. 3. Describe the psychology subdisciplines that are most relevant to the interdisciplinary nature of your advocacy efforts. I believe that all subdisciplines of psychology are important and equally relevant to the interdisciplinary nature of my advocacy efforts. The subdisciplines that I would like to mention are social psychology and cognitive psychology, especially because these relate most to my future career aspirations. Cognitive psychology is relevant because it is the study of mental processes such as attention, language use, memory perception, problem-solving, creativity and reasoning. (Team Psypathy, 2022) Understanding these processes and how these are created or different in others is relevant to those whose insight changes. Social psychology is very obviously related to advocacy efforts because it looks at human behavior and how it is influenced by other people under conditions like our environment or society. This can help us understand why others may be treated worse than others and what we can learn or teach others to make changes in society. 4. Describe the ways in which your knowledge of psychology has prepared you to execute your social change initiative. As I am nearing the end of my degree program, I have learned so many subdisciplines and aspects of psychology that have filled my brain with enormous amounts of knowledge. I’ve learned about cognitive psychology, abnormal psychology, healthy psychology, and many more subdisciplines as well as history and art and how it relates to psychology in its own ways. It has given me insight and a deeper understanding of all

types of aspects of life and taught me to challenge my own beliefs and what I think I know about something. I now look at things in society or the world as more than just surface level. I have learned about things in life people cannot control, how to treat those individuals, the history of psychology and how our brain works and how others have gained those beliefs that they hold true for so long because of their environment or genetics. I believe everything I’ve learned combined has taught me tremendously how to execute social change and to still have a healthy headspace and the coping skills to pursue and accomplish them.
