1) authoritarian parenting style: ability to form social relationships or enhance self-control, inability to choose for himself because things have always been chosen for him

identity vs. role confusion: knowing himself leads him to success, not knowing himself leads him to be unsuccessful (knows himself so he can choose the right major, does not know himself so joins too many clubs and has no time to study)

unconditional positive regard: love and support improve college or lack of love and support hinder his college (parents support him, so he was ready to study hard and support himself through college challenges; accepts others better and has more friends; if teachers don't accept him he won't go to class)

2) divergent thinking: thinking in different ways (creative scheduling maximizes his study time; thinks outside the box and can solve complex problems; does better in harder classes)

elaborative rehearsal: making the information meaningful (thought of his history assignment in relation to his family; used deep-processing to benefit from studying coarse material)

intrinsic motivation: motivation from internal factors, as opposed to extrinsic motivation which is from external factors (self-motivation makes him go to class all the time; love of learning)

self-efficacy: belief in one's abilities (he felt confident that he could get a job after college)
